I am seem to be stuck on this, not sure if its a bug or I am missing something. Its the final quiz for getting started with Git. I get to the third question and we have to commit the index.html file that was just added. For some reason no matter what i type it wont show a correct answer. I have typed the following.
git commit -a -m "Added index" git commit index.html -m "Added index"
Any help?

but this did: $ git commit -m "Added a readme file"
