In order to permanently save your work, you need to:

1. Click the "Source Control" button on the left-hand side menu bar.
2. You will see a list of files that have changes that are not saved to your repository.
3. In the message box, give a descriptive(and short) sentence explaining the changes.
4. Click "Commit"
5. After a few seconds, the button will say "Sync Changes". Click it again to save the changes to your repository.
