I am struggling with my lesson. I have no professor to help me wade through. It's learning how to begin with Git. (nord.pub)

https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-git-basics this is the lesson that i am following. I completed the Create the Repository section successfully. I also completed the Use the Git Workflow section successfully. It's the Modify a File or two where I am facing all the difficulties.

Can someone please show me the way how to do it ?

Create the README.MD with touch and open the file with nano or your editor of choice.

touch README.md
nano README.md

Add

G'day git

Exit nano with CTRL X then press Y to save the file.

Then use it to save a READEME.md  file in the git repository directory.

Assuming you are using the default layout. Right click on the folder structure on the left panel and select new file.
