Git simple merges

Hi,

I am having trouble with the following answer:

Let's say that you've been working on a branch called rewrite_main_page, and you've just finished the last change you needed. First, commit your work.

I tried

git branch commit rewrite_main_page

but get the error 'Bummer! That was the wrong git command. Try again.'

Do a git status first to ensure that your work is waiting to be committed. The file should appear in red.

Jordan Overbye - the error message is correct here, you're not using the right command.

Or more correctly, you're trying to use two different commands at once :) Remember that "branch" and "commit" are different commands with different purposes, and can't be used together.
