Why is the sequence, git add --all, git commit, then git push skipping files?

Question

I have some new files in a new commit. I used:

git add . --all (I also tried git add --all)

to add the files, then:

git commit

to commit them, then I used:

git push origin master

to push them and everything went fine without error. However, upon logging on to my git server and listing the files with:

git ls-tree --full-tree -r HEAD

, certain important files are missing.

Also doing:

git pull origin master

On another machine seems to run fine without error, but those same files are missing.

after "git add --all" do a "git status" and see what files have been added for commit. If the files you want aren't added then they are probably in your .gitignore file. — thenetimp

Formatting note: Indent your commands with four spaces, rather than surrounding them with back ticks, if they're on their own line. — anon

One common reason why files would be skipped is that they are in your .gitignore file. Check to make sure you aren't ignoring these file types, or the folders they are in.

That was why indeed. The issue was I didn't realize there were a bunch of .gitignore files in the repository, not just in the root directory.
