So Im sure Im on the branch foo_feature because I will do a "git status" and it tells me I'm there. But when I opened the file in nano, saved it, then closed it, and committed it when I then typed in git log it doesn't show the commit that took place. Sorry its kinda difficult to post my code here but did this happen to anybody else or does anyone have an idea as to why this would happen?

7,173 PointsSeth Kroger Oh okay now that makes sense. Maybe that is what was wrong because when I started the lesson I opened the console instead of continuing off from the previous lesson. Thank you for your help and input Seth!
