Thanks.

I finally understand what happened.

To see the new commits I have to use the command:

git log upstream/master..HEAD

You can see list of the files you have modified by typing "git status".

Interesting.
Actually, if i do a "git diff" before, i already see the list of the modified files.

commit -a ?
It looks dangerous 😅

It commits only files that are in the Git repository, not any other files. Besides, you can always undo or modify your last commit before you have uploaded/pushed it to GitHub. :)

You can also commit individual files like this:
git commit -m "Describe my changes" file1.tsv file2.py

commit -a ?
It looks dangerous 😅

You can [url=https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/getting-started-with-git/configuring-git-to-handle-line-endings]configure git to handle line endings[/url]. Alternatively you can run [i]dos2unix[/i].

Unfortunately I haven't normalized line endings in Panlexia files yet. They are what they are. :( Fortunately users are not expected to modify any files in the "data" directory. They will modify only language-specific files inside "dict".

You can specify changes with [i]git add[/i] or you can commit all changed files with [i]git commit -a[/i].

Don't you forget the: git add?

Will you normalize the coding of the end of line?
To LF or CRLF?

The source files of Panlexia are really are in GitHub at [url]https://github.com/barumau/panlexia[/url]. All contents are text files, mostly dictionary files (.tsv) or program source code files (.py). They are easy to edit with any text editor or GitHub's own online editor, see [url]https://docs.github.com/en/codespaces/the-githubdev-web-based-editor[/url].

Currently my own setup is WSL + VSCode (Windows Subsystem for Linux + Visual Studio Code). It's setup in 15 minutes for example by following the instructions in [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CokQE8kxxHQ[/url]. It may look like wizardry for non-programmers but it's not hard. Then start WSL and type the following commands:
# Install Git version control system:
sudo apt-get install git
# Configure yourself as Git user
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "youremail@domain.com"
# Download Panlexia workspace to your system:
git clone https://github.com/barumau/panlexia.git
# Open Panlexia workspace in VSCode
code panlexia

From then on you can always start the workspace by typing only [i]code panlexia[/i].

After making changes you need to upload them to GitHub database. You can read a Git guide to understand it better, but here is a simple way to do it:
# Upload latest changes from GitHub
git pull
# Create branch for your changes
git checkout -b my_branch
# Make your changes in VSCode. See your changes by typing:
git diff
# Commit all (-a) your changes with a message (-m):
git commit -a -m "Describe my change"
# Upload your branch to GitHub
git push origin my_branch

It's just an introduction to the Git topic.
Both to share good Introduction for dummies and to debate if the Panlexia project should propose other way to contribute.
