need help with github basics question.

My answer to this question is:

git add README.md git commit -m "updated read me" but it is flagged as wrong. I do not know what is wrong. Thanks for your help in advance.

What error message does it give you? Are you trying to do all of these commands at once?

If as Jason asked, your are entering both those commands together, that will not pass the quiz. The quiz considers the past commands it asks you to run, so when it asks you to commit your changes, it knows that you have already added the readme file.

If you simply run the commit command with the message argument you should be good.
