I'm on task 5 that asks me to commit all the changes we made to the staging area. I am using git commit -a
but it keeps telling me that I'm using the wrong git command.

For this task (Task 5 of 6) you need to add a message to the commit. That would utilize the -m
option and then you would add a message between quotes. So the command would be:
git commit -m "Your Message Here"

git commit -a -m "some message"
, but it didn't work. Perhaps, the question need to be reworded to not say "all", or the it should be fixed to accept the all flag
