Why doesn't git recognize that my file has been changed?

Question

here what i did:

i committed few files. after that i got this status

$ git status
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in topGamesMenu.php.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
# On branch TopGamesMenu
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#       modified:   index.php
#       modified:   nbproject/private/private.xml
#       new file:   topGamesMenu.php
#

then i wanted to push

git push -m 'logos vom den besten spielen im menu implementiert'

but i realized the massage parameter should be at the commit not at push command. so committed again

$ git commit -m 'logo von dem vier besten spielem um menu implementiert'
[TopGamesMenu warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in topGamesMenu.php.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
8fa4dea] logo von dem vier besten spielem um menu implementiert
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in topGamesMenu.php.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
3 files changed, 133 insertions(+), 86 deletions(-)
create mode 100644 topGamesMenu.php

after this command my git status shows no more changes.

$ git status
# On branch TopGamesMenu
nothing to commit, working directory clean

---EDIT---

git push doesnt work. git says

Everything up-to-date

what is wrong?

Nothing is wrong per se. You made a new commit simple because the line endings changed in a few files. By the way, did that git push actually work? — Tim Biegeleisen

Nothing is wrong. Your first command was git add which prepared the staging area for a git commit with a message, and now you are ready to git push — Jeff Puckett

@TimBiegeleisen the push doesnt work. git says "Everything up-to-date". but there is no change in my remote repo. — user2440762

Whatever you are seeing is expected!

Git won't list your modified files in git status once it is committed. In fact, if you would have set upstream, it should something like

Your branch is ahead of 'origin/<your branch>' by 1 commit.

If you want to see the modified files, you use

git log --name-only
