help, task 3 of 4 is driving me crazy

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."

My answer:

git remote add tommy -http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff

or

git remote add tommy - git_basics/cool_stuff/

as the error it returns: Bummer! You've got the right command, but the address isn't in there correctly. Double-check that you've got the right address.

is the above correct??
