Has anyone else gotten this error: pathspec error with git commit

[gunnardesantisUCONN]

Hey yall

When trying to commit the changes from JupyterNotebook work folder to GitHub repo, I get this error every time. This has happened in both instances that the tutorial references 1)README.md and 2) M01-01 Notes. Have any of you had this issue? I am worried I will lose work that I do for this course.

(base) jovyan@d4c0cc08fa92:/work/computational-mechanics$ git commit - m "notes added to M01-01"
error: pathspec '-' did not match any file(s) known to git
error: pathspec 'm' did not match any file(s) known to git
error: pathspec 'notes added to M01-01' did not match any file(s) known to git

Is there a space between - and m? I made that mistake and it gave me that error.

Ah mate, thanks for getting me out of the pinch! That was the issue.
