This would ordinarily only happen if there were no differences between the files in the working directory and those in the staging area.

When I run git diff at https://teamtreehouse.com/library/adding-remotes?t=10 , the only reason changes are shown is that before recording the video, I went in and added several lines to the medals.html file. If you want the same result, you can open medals.html, add several lines of code (any code you like, it doesn't have to match the video), and save the file. Then your changes should appear when you run git diff.

Perhaps, but either way it looks like you've discovered a forum bug. This same question comes up for this URL and for this other one.

My question is still not answered

Stefan Cutajar you must add a line in medals.html for you to see changes with git diff
