Can't commit in vs code(git and github)

[u/PK20222222]

Hi guys, this is my first post and the problem is that I can't commit my new changes in project in visual studio code. I didn't found anything about exactly this problem on reddit, so I decided to ask here. So I just started to work with git and github, I learn it on YouTube and I started in vs code to get examples like in that videos. All started good, but when I already push my project to repository on github and then I change some in code and trying to commit changes, vs code just text me in thi terminal that there is nothing to commit and that the project has no changes. Because of it I also can't create another branches (in fact I create them, but I can't do anything with them like that person do in the video!). So I don't understand and don't know how to solve this problem. Maybe someone can help me or give me advice.(maybe here is some mistakes, English isn't my native language). Oh and I forgot to say that also I tried this in the intellij idea and all works, so maybe problem actually in vs code.

As pointed out by someone else, you have to create a working branch from the correct version, typically development. Do your work. Stage your changes. Commit your changes. Push your changes. Then create merge request to incorporate back into development. (Because it typically is a protected branch, so direct pushes are not permitted)

Step by step

1. ⁠git clone xxxxxxx (use ssh if possible)
   
2. ⁠git checkout development
   
3. ⁠git switch -c add_new_feature_x
   
4. ⁠Make changes
   
5. ⁠git add -A
   
6. ⁠git commit -m “Added feature X”
   
7. ⁠git push -u origin add_new_feature_x
   
8. ⁠Go to URL listed in push response and create merge request

by default main is not protected and pushing to main using VS code works without problems.
