How to push my update changes to the repository

Question

I cloned my repository from github and then updated the composer by adding

composer install

So I believe the composer.json page has been updated with new lines of code. I want to push it back to github online repository .

How Can I do this , I tried doing

git commit

It give me following message

On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
        modified:   .env.example
        modified:   composer.json
        modified:   config/app.php

So changes to these files like composer.json , .env , config/app.php will not be effected on the online repository ??

Any insight on this please

Thanks

You need to do:

git add .

Before:

git commit

git add . will stage all files for commit. If you want a specific file to be staged than you can do git add file_name

@Vikram yes your friend needs to pull first by using `git pull origin master`. – Muhammad Bilal Nov 19 '15 at 06:55
`git pull` means updating your repository. to make your repo **up-to-date** with its remote version. – uno Nov 19 '15 at 06:59
