you should add your files in staging area those file which is modified and then do commit — l.b.vasoya

If you want to add modified files

git add -u

But if you do a git ls-files after the git add step, then you needs (using this):

NAME_FILES=$(git status --porcelain|tr '\n' ' ')
git commit -m "files added ${NAME_FILES}"

sorry for the confusion, but I need is save a name file in a var and put that name into the git commit, like this: "NAME_FILES = git ls-files -m and when commited like this git commit -m "your files affected in $(NAME_FILES)"".
