Git branch develop, commited changes do not show up on github

Steff

Hi all,
I have to admit that I am an absolute newbie for working with github. However after reading several forums, the online help and trying back and forth I still have not found a solution to my problem and I am really clueless.
I have released a couple of weeks ago my first basic module for MM on github.
I wanted to further develop the features of the module, but wanted to do it in a separate branch develop.
I create this branch via git branchand git checkout. I checked in my modifications to the develop branch with git commit -a.
A git check status shows:

On branch develop
Untracked files:
  (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed)

	backup/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

I did not yet exclude the backup directory in gitignore.
If i call git logI can see:

commit ce4fca6491a4cd8facb44482ce2f17cbd335e7a4
Author: xxx
Date:   Wed Feb 22 20:42:56 2017 +0100

        modified:   CHANGELOG.md
        modified:   MMM-RadioDe.js
        modified:   README.md

commit db495c121e2dd8f38b1e2f67fd0101f918d11190
Author: xxx
Date:   Tue Feb 21 19:07:07 2017 +0100

    - requiresVersion: "2.1.0",
    - option to change playing radio station via notification
    
    - Added documentation for daily operation in [README.md](README.md# Daily operation)
    - Added check for all modules started, before starting radio player
    
    - Known problems: One user reported that player does not start, potentially fixed by starting player only once all modules started

My problem: I cannot see these changes online in the web interface of github, trying to see my changes in github it claims no differences between master and develop branch (identical).

I strongly hope that this is an absolute beginners error, nevertheless I am running out of ideas. Could you help me ?
Thanks
Steff

@Steff Seems like you need to push your changes. They are local only unless you use git push to send them to the github server.

@Jopyth Thanks so much, you saved my day, I really had forgotten git push, stupid me. Thanks again !!

I can recomend you 3 things:

Check the next documentation

http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/ (simple)
https://backlogtool.com/git-guide/en/stepup/stepup1_1.html (some details about branches)
http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/

Second one, use this interactive tutorial
https://try.github.io

The last, you can work better using a zsh+oh-my-zsh. This enable to see where branch you are and status repository into the shell prompt.
