中文步骤

  1. Stage the untracked files with 'git add <file>' or 'git add .' to include all untracked files, then commit.
  2. Use 'git add -A' to stage all changes including new files, then commit.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 70% fail

    Running 'git commit -a' will only stage modified tracked files, not untracked ones.

  2. 90% fail

    Using 'git commit -m "message"' without staging will still fail.

  3. 40% fail

    Deleting the untracked files manually may cause data loss if they are needed.
