Description Edwin Lukaweski

Build Identifier: 

If I have added a new directory and file in my local branch (and repo) and I then push these changes to a remote (after doing a commit), the new directory and file are not present in the remote repo. Further, when I look at the log of the remote repo, via another GIT viewer, I see a commit, on the master branch, with the comment "working dir changes" and the result that the directory and file have been deleted from the remote repo. Also, this commit has a hash of "000...000" (all zeros).
Why is this happening?

Reproducible: Always

Did you commit your change before pushing ?

Which Git viewer are you using here? This looks like a local modification you did in your working directory without committing it to the local repository. If that's true everything works as designed as push only transfers changes committed to the local repository.

I tried that with gitk on some local uncommitted change using gitk as git viewer
and it looks like this is what you describe here. See attached screenshot.
