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 was also stuck over this. The solution is : a) Make any txt file first let's say " Readme.txt "

b) Copy this text file to you local git repo(folder) eg- C:/store

c) Go to windows command prompt if you are on windows (type " cmd " on search bar when you click on window button )

d) go to your local git repo. type ** echo hello > Readme.txt** ---> C:\admin\store>echo hello > Readme.txt

echo hello is a dos command which shows output status text to the screen or a file.
