Git code challenge

I am having trouble with the following code challenge:

HEAD~1 is a special commit identifier in git; it stands for the previous commit (not the one we just made, but the one before that). Can you use that identifier to check out the previous commit in this repository?

This challenge is asking you to checkout the particular identifier given "HEAD~1".

git checkout HEAD~1
