Where did my bronze.html go?

As I was trying to access the nano editor in "First Commits", I had to add bronze.html in order to do so. Now, when I try to add bronze.html, it doesn't appear when I write the command, git status. When I then do git commit -m "Add bronze medals", logically, I get this output:

treehouse:~/workspace/medals$ git commit -m "Add bronze medals"
[master ca8a7c3] Add bronze medals                                                                    
1 file changed, 3 insertions(+)

I would like to know what happened to bronze.html. Is it still within my git repository?

Hello there! As per your git message, it seems like you did commit the "bronze.html" in the first commit, then you made some changes and committed again. That's why it said 1 file changed, 3 insertions, aka you changed something in 3 lines in the same file which was committed before. I dunno if it's still in your git repo or not, but it defo can be found in your local git repo, but not in Remote repo unless you pushed it. I hope it helped. (:

Appreciated! Makes sense, and I'm halfway there in understanding this process.
