Git commit behaving strangely

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

I am new to git and was going through gittutorial-2 when i noticed something weird.

1. I first create a file file.txt with some text and committed it.
2. I create a file called closing.txt with some text and committed it.
3. then i added 1 new line to both closing.txt and file.txt
4. i added the file closing.txt to the staging are by running 'git add closing.txt'
5. now i ran 'git checkout' (by mistake)
6. Now i run 'git diff --cached' (which should show the changes i have in the index), the output is this

diff --git a/closing.txt b/closing.txt
index da55920..953ec3a 100644
--- a/closing.txt
+++ b/closing.txt
@@ -1 +1,2 @@
 closing
+again?

7. Now when i run 'git commit -m "closing again"', the change is not committed even though i get a new commit id.

The output of 'git log -p' is this (as you can clearly see, there are new commits but no change has been recorded)
