You need to create the file first which can be done in the terminal using this command;

touch readme.md

Then I use nano;

nano readme.md

Here you can write out the content of the file, follow the prompts in nano to save and exit.

The file is now created and updated, you can then use git add and git commit as normal and push it to your GitHub or whatever.
