Committing Your Changes

When you've finished making your changes and have tested them locally, it's time to commit your work:

1. Stage Changes

Use the following command to stage all changes:

git add .

This adds all modified and new files to the staging area, preparing them for the commit.

2. Commit Changes

Commit your changes with a meaningful commit message that describes the purpose of your changes:

git commit -m "Your commit message goes here"

A good commit message is concise and provides enough context about the changes made. Mifos follows its own commit style guidelines that you must follow. Learn more about it here.

3. Push Changes

Push your changes to your forked repository on GitHub:

git push origin new-branch-name

Replace new-branch-name with the name of the branch you created earlier.
