I have just started learing GIT. Follow their tutorial.

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

Answer 1

Here you go! Very simple. Need to place the .txt file manually in the pwd mentioned folder...

suumapat@SUUMAPAT-IN MINGW64 ~/newproject (master) $ git add abc.txt fatal: pathspec 'abc.txt' did not match any files

suumapat@SUUMAPAT-IN MINGW64 ~/newproject (master) $ dir

suumapat@SUUMAPAT-IN MINGW64 ~/newproject (master) $ pwd /c/Users/suumapat/newproject

suumapat@SUUMAPAT-IN MINGW64 ~/newproject (master) $ dir abc.txt

suumapat@SUUMAPAT-IN MINGW64 ~/newproject (master) $ git add abc.txt
