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

This happens when you do not include a message when you try to commit using:

git commit

It launches an editor environment. Quit it by typing :q! and hitting enter.

It's going to take you back to the terminal without committing, so make sure to try again, this time pass in a message:

git commit -m 'Initial commit'

Answer 2

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'

Answer 3

I faced the same problem , i resolved it by typing :q! then hit Enter And it resolved my problem After that run the the following command git commit -a -m "your comment here"

This should resolve your problem.
