Now, It makes sense. I gave it another try and this time I walk from back to
front.

Now you can see, that I have created, a new file called *file.txt*, in the
*master branch*.

NO, you didn't.

See that file.txt is listed under "Untracked files"?
Git sees the file, but since you haven't added it with "git add", it's untracked and Git doesn't care about it.

It lists it with the status command, so you will see that it's not yet tracked.
