I think the correct answer is "git commit -a -m" to pass all changes and the message. I've also tried "git commit README.md -m" and "git commit README.md -a -m" without success.

This question was referring to "Git Basics - Commitment Therapy, Challenge Task 2 of 3". The error code being generated was said I was missing the -m command (which I wasn't).
I successfully passed the question by including a short "commit message" after my command.
Here is the full command which successfully passed the question:
git commit -a -m "commit message"
