You will have to do git add -A to add all files new files, changes and removed files. Than follow that up with git commit and git push

Use the following commands-

git add -A to add all files new files, changes and removed files.
git commit -m "Your message" to save the changes done in the files.
git push -u origin master to send your committed changes to a remote repository, where the local branch is named master to the remote named origin

`commit -a` updates existing files but it does not add new files. See `git help commit` or try it. – Asclepius Oct 18 '20 at 02:32

Combine all needed separate commands in one alias?!

If there are new files not added to the repository yet, you still have to `git add` them. – ohaal Feb 17 '12 at 13:44

As I understand your question you are asking about "-u" option used as below which will add all already existing in repo entries (but no new ones):

git add -u

which accordingly to man pages:

   -u, --update
       Update the index just where it already has an entry matching <pathspec>. This removes as well as modifies index entries to match the working tree, but adds no new files.
       If no <pathspec> is given when -u option is used, all tracked files in the entire working tree are updated (old versions of Git used to limit the update to the current directory and its subdirectories).
