I am new to Git and have done some rudimentary tutorials on how to clone, add, commit stuff.

I recently git cloned an online repository on my local DEV environment with something like:

git clone git@something.beanstalkapp.com:/somefile.git

In order to make changes to the code and then be able to stage and commit those changes, what do I first? Do I need to add the local repository?

Can someone show me a small example: like git add “blah blah”. git commit -m “this is my first commit to remote repository” etc etc

Sorry I know I am not doing a good job explaining.

    After you cloned, you probably have a folder somefile created at the pwd. cd into that.

    Here you can add files and do commit, for example:

    touch README
git add README
git commit -m "Adding a README"

    After this, you can push the changes back to the repo that you cloned from:

    git push origin master
