I think I'm providing the correct answer, but the system is not allowing it. What to do?

The task is "commit changes with a text message". My answer is: git commit -a -m "Text message"

Hiya there! When i'm working on my projects, i dont necessarily use flags -a and -m together coz i wanna be in control of the changes and my progress. To add all the files to a staging , try this in your terminal git add * but to add a specific file to the staging , try this in your terminal git add Readme.md. And to finally commit the changes, your command should look like this git commit -m "Initial Commit".
