15,724 PointsWe have multiple files in our directory that we want to track. Add them all with one command. Nothing I try is working
In the code challenge here https://teamtreehouse.com/library/github-basics/working-by-yourself/push-to-github-test I've tried git add -all ... git add -a ... git add -A ... git add * ... git add . ... and git add README.md ... and git add readme.md, and I receive the error "Bummer! Remember that we need to add the README.md file." I believe this challenge is broken.

Courses Plus Student 13,401 PointsI was having trouble with this answer. I notice that Jon has a space between add and his period (git add .) . I was answering the question with git add. without a space. I hope this clears up problems anyone was having.
