The question was: I've got my own copy of the repository hosted at http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git. What command would you use to add my copy of the repository as a remote? Give the remote the name "tommy."

You probably want the "git remote add" command.
This command takes two arguments, a name and the URL of the repo. So in this case:
$ git remote add tommy http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git
For further info, see this documentation page.
