Greetings folks, I'm working on ACCUMULO-1901 but am a newbie with git and want to ensure I do my check-in and patch correctly the first time.
My questions are: 1. 'git help commit' says "even modified files must be 'added'" but the Accumulo Contributor instructions don't mention doing a 'git add' at all. Do I need to first to a 'git add' for the filename I'm changing / going to change? 2. Step 5 "Make commits" mentions "referencing the issue name in the commit message", but the syntax shown doesn't include the -m switch that I see in the git commit help. I assume a more complete syntax example for my case would be: git commit -av -m "ACCUMULO-1901" bin/start-here.sh Or if I do it from the directory where my code change was done, do I even need to include the filename? Or ever? (meaning does git commit everything in its index automatically?) Again, I'm brand new to git and want to do this right the first time. Thanks for the help!
