Open the Source Control panel on the left toolbar.
Write a descriptive comment in the message bar.
The blue COMMIT button has an drop down menu on the right. Select “Commit & Push” from that menu.
You may be asked something about staged files, click ‘Always’.

Staging files If your file is not being committed: - check that you’ve saved it - check whether it is ‘staged’.

Staging files tells git that you would like to track those files to later commit and push them. You can do this manually. Locate the file under “Changes” (see the screenshot above). If a file is unstaged, it will have a ‘+’ to the right of the filename in Source Control. Click that ‘+’ to stage a file before committing.
