HELP PLEASE

Part 2 of this exercise I could not figure out, deleting one line and inputting another in it’s place using git is the task.

I tried “sed ‘s/Scheme against Captain Hook/Engage in swordfights with pirates/’ resume.txt”

but didn’t work, can anyone help me with this?

I followed all steps and it did not work as instructed. However when I did it the other way around it worked. You need to review your instructions as they are wrong and do not work and I spent ages trying to resolve it.

Correct! However, you should know that the sed command isn’t a git command.

HI, I need help in part 1 in Commin in a new branch. This is the question I’m stuck with 1.

Print the Git commit log.

Notice the output:

  • The commits you see were all made in the master branch. fencing inherited them.
  • This means that every commit master has, fencing also has.

Note : if you find that your cursor is stuck in Git log, press q to escape.

Hello everyone!!!
When they ask to add the file to the staging area what should I have to do? I write git add resume.txt but still not working. I also tried with git add

Same here - I refreshed my browser and then git add resume.txt worked

You just need to hit the “run” button at the bottom of the text file so that it saves the changes.

You just need to type “git log” into bash.
