Where I can see the commit files?

Where I can see the files I just commit. Is there any website like GitHub that I can see my branch?

Hi Libor,

When you commit a file it is no longer in the list to be added or committed. I believe you see it immediately before you in the text editor. If you want to see a previous commit, you can change the branch using git checkout. You may need to change your perspective to the master branch.

If you open a new repository on Github, you'll see two commands near the bottom, after putting in the name of your repository and describing it:

  1. git remote add origin https://github.com/userName/practice.git

  2. git push -u origin master

If you type these into the terminal after committing, you'll see them uploaded to your GitHub profile in the repository. The files will be listed there, as well as in your local directory.

I'm new to GitHub myself, but only responded because your post has been up for 18 hours.

Best,

Matt

Good morning Matthew,

thank you very much for your response!

I am still straggling with the git. I created branch call test. Than I tried to commit file call index.html in the folder where I am keeping my practice ~/Desktop/TreeHouse/JavaScript/practiceWebSite/Coffee2 by flowing commands from the Git bash:

git remote add origin https://github.com/username/test.git
git push -u origin master

But what I am pushing into the repo are files from my machine even I am in the folder of the Coffee2. Please have look down below.

../../../../../.node_repl_history
../../../../../.vscode/
../../../../../AppData/Local/Adobe/
../../../../../AppData/Local/Apple Computer/
../../../../../AppData/Local/Apple Inc/
../../../../../AppData/Local/Composer/files/intervention/

Can someone please explains what I am doing wrong? Thank you very much.
