1st Code Challenge for Introduction to Git

I'm having a problem completing this code challenge. Since I have NEVER used Git before, for me it's the equivalent of drinking from a firehose. This is what the code challenge comprises of:

"We're working on our first novel, and we want to track our changes in Git. But first, we need to change into the directory where our text files are. Using this shell prompt, change into the novel directory."

Help me to understand what they are asking for and what other resources I can use so I don't get stuck. It's probably something very simple that they are asking for.

Thanks.

I typed git cd, but it still didn't work. After several tries, 'cd novel' works.
