Specifically, we're going to edit an existing file, add a new file, commit those changes, and push those changes up to GitHub. To start, we've already opened up Git Bash and changed our working directory to test-repo. As you might recall, there's just one file in the repo, which is the "README.md" file. We're going to edit that file. Since it's a Markdown file, you can edit it in any text editor. I've opened the file in Windows Notepad, and am just going to make a simple edit and then save the file. Let's also create a new Markdown file called "new.md". We're going to use a command called "touch". It's not a Git command, but it's especially handy on Windows since it can be hard to create a file with a non-standard extension. Simply type "touch" and then the name of the file. Yo
