How can I commit files with git?

Question

None of the tutorials will help!
They all do that thing where they just assume I know what to do..

Currently, my terminal window starts with..

#          


        

Answer 1

I don't know your system environment, but it seems, that you have typed:

git commit

And your default editor has been launched. In the worst case scenario (for you) it could have been vim :)

If you don't know how to quit vim, use :q.

If you have further problems, you could use

git commit -m 'Type your commit message here'
