title: git status (nothing to commit, working directory clean), however with changes commited
body: <p>I found many questions with similar subject, but I didn't found any practical guidance about this issue: why <code>git status</code> informs me <code>nothing to commit, working directory clean</code>, even tough I have made a modification at my local branch?</p>
  
  <p>Here are the steps which I followed:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><code>git init</code> [On branch master - Initial commit, nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track)]</li>
  <li><code>git remote add https://github.com/username/project.git</code></li>
  <li><code>git pull origin master</code></li>
  <li><code>touch test</code></li>
  <li><code>git add test</code></li>
  <li><code>git commit -m "Adding file for test purposes only."</code></li>
  <li><code>git status</code> [On branch master - nothing to commit, working directory clean]  </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>If I do a <code>git push</code>, the modification is committed to the remote branch. I just want to perform "git status" after my modifications, and receive the information that I have changes on my local branch that must be pushed to the remote branch of the project.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone tell me what's going? Straight to the point, please. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance SO community!</p>
