💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Not using quotes causes git to treat each word as separate arguments.

Using single quotes may work in some shells but double quotes are safer.

The commit message must be enclosed in quotes to be treated as a single string.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'branch' instead of 'checkout' to switch branches.

Using 'commit' which is unrelated here.

git checkout new-feature switches to the branch named 'new-feature'.
