Challenge task 3 of 4.

I'm guessing it's some kind of git pull, but I'm not getting the correct answer and I've tried several variants.

What is the answer? And why is it the correct answer?

Thanks

The link button on this question leads to a video. I'm going to guess that you're talking about the challenge that comes after this video.

So the 3rd task is "git remote add tommy http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git" since you're adding a remote, you're naming it "tommy", and the rest of the line is the location of the repo.

Does that address your issue?

Yes, thanks.

So a "remote" is a remote repository, like a project on the cloud, or a project on GitHub, for example?

Remote repositories are versions of your project that are hosted on the Internet or network somewhere.

Glad I could help. Happy coding!
