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..

#

Git uses "the index" to prepare commits. You can add and remove changes from the index before you commit (in your paste you already have deleted ~10 files with git rm). When the index looks like you want it, run git commit.

Usually this will fire up vim. To insert text hit i, goes back to normal mode, hit ZZ to save and quit (ZQ to quit without saving). voilà, there's your commit
