7,625 PointsRemote Work Challenge
Struggling with part of a quiz:
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."
Here are some of the answers I have tried:
The one I REALLY thought was right:
git remote add tommy http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git
Trying to account for . on end of tommy that I thought might be typo in question:
git remote add tommy. http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git
This seems to be the right syntax.... specify the name, and then url...what am I missing here?
Thanks!

7,625 PointsHey Scott - Thanks for helping out. I probably could have described this better.
Answer:
git remote add tommy http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git.
Response:
Bummer! You've got the right command, but the address isn't in there correctly. Double-check that you've got the right address.

***I thought it had something to do with the "." character at the end, but no combination seems to work for me.

7,625 PointsI think there is something funny going on with this quiz. now the first question is not working in both chrome and safari and I can't even get back to the original question I was referencing. On quiz one (which i was previously getting correct) I now get this what appears to be an actual tree house internal error:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.1.4/lib/bundler/definition.rb:15:in build': /apps/treehouse_code_challenges/Gemfile not found (Bundler::GemfileNotFound)

Could support or some of your team maybe look at this a little closer?
Scott Magdalein
1,667 PointsHmm, we had some issues night before last, but I don't think it's related. If this is still happening to you, would you mind submitting a support request with details (maybe a link to this forum thread) to the support team via the link in the top right (click on the settings/gear icon and then click "Contact Support").

1,667 PointsHey Philip, what problem are you trying to solve? Are you trying avoid using Github for git hosting or are you just foraying into self-hosted git repositories?
git remote add [remote name] [url] is the right syntax, but your remote needs to be setup properly as well. For more context on the subject, this looks like a decent walkthrough.

25,278 PointsYou are super close you want this "git remote add tommy http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git" All I did was get rid of the period right after git in the url and it worked

1,667 PointsOh, now I see what you're saying. Went through the Git Basics course and found your stopping point. Your first answer was right:
git remote add tommy http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git.What error/response are you getting when doing the challenge?
