commit and push are quite different. A commit adds new or changed files
in your working set into your repository and creates a new revision.
push OTOH sends one or more commits from your repo to another one. The
counterpart to push is pull, which receives a change from a (remote)
repo and merges it into yours. Basically the workflow is:

a) change or create a new $file
b) git add $file //stages the file for commit
c) git commit //file has been added to your repo, a new revision has
been created (e.g. commit id 8f3fc3811f9e97bd1080)
d) git pull origin master //get the latest changes from the master
branch of the (remote) origin repo
e) git push origin master //copies the commit into the remote repo

For more details you might want to read Pro Git [0]. It is a free ebook
but consider donating. There is also a short introduction to egit [1]
and Shawn Pearce/Chris A. have recently done a webcast on egit [2].

Please do not use ecf-nonepl anymore, but the corresponding repo to your
work listed on ECF's github page [3].
