git commit -m 'text of commit message'
There is some stuff printed out in the console, but nothing in the text editor. You can track changes in the tracking with:
git status

16,001 PointsDid you get this figured out? Sorry, I've been putting my energies elsewhere for awhile. Let me say, first of all, that I've found working in the console in Workspaces problematic, so I prefer to do terminal stuff on my own machine and not in Workspaces. Sorry, but that's the way I feel. If you can work in your own terminal, rather than Workspaces, or the provided terminal emulator in Treehouse, you're better off, IMHO. (Easier if you have a Mac, or use Linux, like I do. I've never tried doing stuff in the terminal in Windows.) So, if you can get your hands on a machine where you can work in the terminal directly, go carefully through the steps in the video one more time, and see if that works better for you. I'd have to go back and work through all this again myself, before I could offer any more specific advice. Good luck!
