You haven't told git what to commit. If the file is already checked in, and has since been committed, you could do git commit filename

However . the most typical is probably to do git add filename followed by git commit filename. Or if you have already done the git add filename, you could also enter git commit -a, which will commit all changes you have previously added to the staging area.
