git commit -a -m 'added new files'
git status

-.-

git add .
git commit -a -m 'added new files'

git commit -am '....'

git add .
git commit -m "el que lo lea le huele"

git add .
git commit -m "woops fixing the last thing and overwriting the last commits message..." --amend

And thats the story why I use desktop/atom git integration

Why not 'git commit -am"..." .'?

@x4fyr That's redundant, of course -am works too

But new files, that aren't added are still not taken into consideration, so he has to git add them first.

You could've done -amend though, @endofreach

Yes thats true but somehow i prefer to write out voth flags. And i like to write the add due to control of adding only specific files if needed or to add all with .
A little bit more to write but thats kinda routine for me
