Your first commit

This isn't a code editor - it's a tiny terminal. Every line you type is one real git command, run against a real (private, in-browser) repository. No typing file contents, no functions to write - just the commands themselves, exactly like a real project.

You're dropped into a folder that already has one file in it: readme.txt. Nothing has been committed yet.

Your task: stage readme.txt and commit it with the exact message Add readme.txt.

You'll practice:

git add <file> - moving a file into the staging area
git commit -m "<message>" - sealing a snapshot

  "setup": { "readme.txt": "Welcome to the project.\n" },
  "starterCode": "# Type one git command per line.\n# Stage readme.txt, then commit it.\n",
  "solution": "git add readme.txt\ngit commit -m \"Add readme.txt\"",
  "hints": [
    "Two commands: one to stage the file, one to commit it.",
    "git add readme.txt puts it in the staging area - nothing is saved to history yet.",
    "git commit -m \"Add readme.txt\" - the message must be exactly that, in quotes."
  ]
