Fatal: pathspec 'file.txt' did not match any files, GIT

Question

I have just started learing GIT. Follow their tutorial.

Now at the very beginning I got stuck with this error:

Fatal: pathspec \'file.txt\' did not match         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem because the file name is already appended with .txt and you are adding an extra .txt explicitly. You can try with this:

git add file.txt.txt
