10,748 PointsGIT remote add repository
I have trouble passing a challenge: Question is:
"I've got my own copy of the repository hosted at http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git. What command would you use to add my copy of the repository as a remote? Give the remote the name "tommy."
I tried this:
git remote add "tommy." http://tommysgitstuff.com/git_basics/cool_stuff.git.
When I submit this I get the following message:
"Bummer! git remote is the right command, but your arguments are wrong. Remember you're trying to add a remote, named tommy, at the address specified."
I have no clue what to change. I checked the video's again and can't find the error.
