Hello
I'm stuck on a code challenge.
We have multiple files in our directory that we want to track. Add them all with one command. I'm sure the correct answer is git add.README.md.
I receive, Bummer! remember that we must add a README file

It looks like you're currently trying git add . README.md. However, there's no need to provide a file name in this case.
You can just use git add . to track multiple files in one command. There are also a few other variants, such as git add -A but I believe this should work for your challenge.
