I am new to git. I've just installed git and encountered a problem which is difficult to explain. I'd like to share some screenshots from my git bash, and would appreciate any help from you. git commit -m "initial version" git status -s I am using windows 7 x64... I don't even know what does "git commit -m "initial version" do, I would be thankful if someone advised me a way to learn git quickly .

I've just installed git following a video lesson on YouTube, but the git version was different from one I downloaded. I was trying to set it up.

User@SAMSUNG MINGW64 ~ (master) $ git commit -m "initial version"``` [enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/4gcaH.jpg)

First, you have to edit your files in the working directory. When you’re ready to save a copy of the current state of the project, you stage changes with git add. After you’re happy with the staged snapshot, you commit it to the project history with git commit.

There are very good tutorials around, like this one.

From the git-bash point of view this is:

git add . git commit -m "initial version"

The point '.' in git add means "all", so all modified files are going to be staged. The -m argument in git commit is to add an inline message for the commit, "initial version" in this example. Without the -m argument, your configured/default text editor is opened so you can add this message.
