Using Git Bash on Windows, Git Commit Problems and Others

So I had a lot of problems using Git Bash on my windows OS and kind of wanted to leave a couple of tips just in case other people run into the same problem.

1. Problems with git commit:

First, if you type in git commit README.txt (README.txt for this specific exercise) and you run into a window that is multi colored and are unable to type on the screen. Then you are most likely using the default editor, which is vim.

Solution (that i used): Press esc and type ":wq" (w- means for write, q - means for quit) and press enter.

1. Download GitPad: https://github.com/github/gitpad

This becomes your editor instead of vim

1. Use git commit -m "your message" to commit

This was how I was able to commit to the repository.

Hope this helps. Also, this was how I solved my Windows + Git problems based on questions on treehouse and google so not sure how legit it is, but it helped me. Good luck.

P.S. Treehouse should fix this tutorial as it is obviously not taught well based on the confusion in the questions section. Just my 2 cents.
