git commit not showing up in github

Question

I am git newbee and I have a very simple github repo and I want to commit a change to it, so I do this ...

1) start "Git Bash" (I am on a Windows system) 2) execute ...

$ git clone https://github.com/redcricket/simple_flashlight.git

3) Export my change from eclipse to simple_flashlight/flashlight/ 4) cd into that ...

$ cd simple_flashlight/flashlight/

5) Do a diff ...

$ git diff AndroidManifest.xml
diff --git a/flashlight/AndroidManifest.xml b/flashlight/AndroidManifest.xml

6) I do the "staging" ... I think ... by doing this ...

$ git add AndroidManifest.xml

The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
$ git status

# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#       modified:   AndroidManifest.xml
#

7) do my commit like so ...

$ git commit -m "do not flash light on orientation change"
[master warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in flashlight/AndroidManifest.xml.

361f69b] do not flash light on orientation change

Then I go look at my repo in https://github.com/redcricket/simple_flashlight/commits/master and I do not see my changes. I here's my git config ...

$ git config --global -l
user.name=redcricket
[email protected]

... what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

You committed that change to the local clone of the repository.

If you want to see that commit on GitHub, you'll need to git push it there first.
