I am *really* new to git and I tried today to do my second ever commit of some new code to my repo. The thing is, I'm not sure if the git actually occurred. 

Github says the last commit was 2 days ago.  

When I type `git add .` nothing shows up.  

When I go to github, the Rails3 file says `loading commit data`. I have been waiting for about 30 minutes but this is still there (and my commit wasn't all that big).

Is this typical behavior for git or could I have done something wrong? Also, how can I check to make sure in the future that the commits are happening when I try to do them?
