Thanks for submitting the request! I'm not going to pull in your fixes (so that way the repo keeps the bugs for others working through the tutorial), but it looks like you got everything working! Out of curiosity, what error were you getting through the GUI? |
|
That reply was fast :) I'm starting to see that Git is quite useful. The error was a vague "Failed to create new commit". I quickly made a screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/44724561/gitError.jpg |

Yea, no worries. That is an odd bug we keep running into here as well. I think it's some bug in the GUI, but we haven't really been able to track it down yet. Personally, I love the command line, but I know a lot of people around here find the GUI fast and slick. Best of luck as you keep moving forward with this! |

Thanks for the wishes. I've now managed to fix the "Failed to create new commit" problem by entering my email address in the options window. (From the main window, "tools" -> "options". I didn't put an address there before, because of the warning that it would be public.) I just thought I'd let you know in case someone else has the same problem. Have a nice week :) |

Thanks for the update! I'm sure that information will come in handy for others down the road. Thanks for sharing the info :) |
Thanks for the tutorial. However, I wasn't able to commit the changes into the local repository using GitHub for Windows. Everything else worked fine. I always got an error, but the dialogue box let me open powershell and from there the command "git commit" worked. (I'm running WinXP and have admin privileges.) Anyway, thanks for providing this tutorial. It helps a lot as I'm just getting started with git/version control. :)
