A developer wants to commit only certain files. But unable to commit as it requires clean(staged and committed all changes) working directory.

When in doubt, just use the command prompt. “git add ” for the things to stage and “git commit -m ” after you’ve added them all.

If you have changes locally, you can “git stash”, make your changes and then “git stash pop” after you committed them.

  • I want to push only some of the modified files to remote. And other files should remain unstage. – Bhakti Bhoj Jun 14 '19 at 12:56

    @bh22 that’s exactly what jjj is explaining. git add the files you want to push, git commit, then git push. The other files will remain unstaged. – Stephen Kitt Jun 14 '19 at 16:09

To commit certain files, you need to do the following things as shown below:

git status 
git add . // for all files
git add "fileName" // for a specific file
git commit -m "the Message" //change message for commit

Then, just use git push command.
