Task 3 - commit index.html

Im trying with this command: git commit -m "added index.html file" index.html is not working? I dont get why it isnt working...

2 Answers

Have you checked that the file is added first before trying to commit?

git add index.html

You may also get a clue to the problem by running

git status

If you need the command to add the file then commit it all in one command, try using the -a flag...

git commit -a -m "added index.html file"

Its a part of a follow up quiz (a task) so I cant run any of those commands. I just need to type in the right answer. Appearently git commit -m "added index.html file" index.html, git commit, git commit index.html - none of these are correct :)

It seems git commit -m "added index.html" was the answer after all and im just retarded ;)
