Why can't I move the project files to my directory?

I am following along with the video and I am trying to move the files to git hub and I get the following error. I called my repository treehouse-projects. Why am I getting this error message?

treehouse:~/workspace$ mv .py treehouse-projects
mv: cannot stat ‘.py’: No such file or directory

So you try to move python files into a directory called treehouse-projects right? I think you wanted to write *.py (all .py files). or FileName.py. Seems you can not just write .py Also...shouldn't there be a "git" before your "mv" Sry i am not really fit in git :S But this looks quiet different to your try https://githowto.com/moving_files

Thank you, Tobias. I figured out that there was already a folder in Workspaces for the one I was trying to create.
