git push doesn't update to latest set of files on a repo branch

[Khuram Malik]

I have a master branch. My colleague forked this, and made some changes to some of the html files. Her and I worked on separate files at the same time.

She's since done a compare and git pull, and has also done a

• git add .
• git commit -m "commit message"
• git push -u origin master

But her repository on bitbucket does not show the latest update of files.

I understand that when there is a working tree that by design, git doesn't push updated files, and there is some way of forcing it or something? Or perhaps there's more to this?

Any advice?

This seems unusual. Check the following:

git status

Make sure that the files that were changed aren't sitting waiting to be added still.

git log --stat

To see what files were changed in the commits, going backward from the most recent.

git config -l

Be sure that the user is pushing to the correct repo. Their config should look similar, but with the correct owner and repo name filled in.

remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
remote.origin.url=git@bitbucket.org:{username}/{repo slug}.git

On Bitbucket, be sure to check the commit view to see if the most recent commits there match what is local

https://bitbucket.org/{username}/{repo slug}/commits/all

Also, check to be sure the user isn't working in a branch. More information on branches and how to view them can be found here.
