508 PointsHello Chris,
I have tried to do again several times but it always respond the same error message. Everytime I tried I started from scratch deleting the .git folder in order to follow steps strictly but nothing works.
Just to make sure this issue is not related to folders, I have rewatched the lecture video again and again to make sure the folder where I am supposed to work on (the specific created for the app - in my case named "blog"). Actually Railsinstaller created a folder named SITES, and it contained a default folder inside named "todo" and during the first steps of this Rails course, I created a new one named "blog" that is the one I am working on. C://Sites/blog C://Sites/todo
I really do not know what to do and in order to not been stucked, I will try to keep working on the following lessons and solve this issue later. I am still a very beginner and if I understood the point of Github here is to backup the project, so I will keep working if it's possible.
Thank you in advance!!! :-)

17,781 PointsWhat output do you get when you type git remote ? Also, if you head over to Code School, there is a free try Git course which is a quick intro that may be helpful for dealing with your Rails application.

508 PointsHello Chris,
When I type "git remote", I see "origin". It's correct, right?
I will keep going and check also the Git course from CodeSchool that you just recommend.
Thanks in advance.
