git commit error: pathspec 'commit' did not match any file(s) known to git

[boi87]

Possible dupe of #847 ?
Thanks for cmder, I've been trying it for about a week and I came across an issue while committing.

git add . works, then
git commit -m 'header works'
returns this:
git commit error: pathspec 'header' did not match any file(s) known to git
git commit error: pathspec 'works' did not match any file(s) known to git

if I then try
git push origin header
returns
already up-to-date
which is not true 😭

with git bash the commit goes through without issues and so does the push attempt.
Is there any fix for this?

thanks very much guys!

@daxgames
Thanks.
So what can I use when committing? Double quotes? Brackets and single quotes? No quotes?

[daxgames]

git commit -m "Double quotes"

Me aparece el mismo error, ya probé comillas simples y dobles y nada,

$ git commit -m index.html "mensaje" error: pathspec 'mensaje' did not match any file(s) known to git

[daxgames]

Try git add index.html && git commit -m "mensaje"
