Hi,

git commit -a works for only modified or deleted files, but new files that
you haven't told git about are not affected. What you want is,

$ git add -A && git commit -m "your message"

where git add -A adds all new files to the staging area to track.
A piece of advice, you seem to be new to git, try try.github.com/ for
an interactive tutorial.

Cheers,
Tanay Abhra.
