I thought when committing files you had to provide a message to go with it + that message had to be followed by a string

so why isnt this working?

The message to go with it is optional, but the challenge task asks you specifically to include it by using the "-m" option.

If you believe you're giving the correct command, show your command line here so we can take a look.
