GIT Commit command is not working correctly

Question

I tried to follow the example in the tutorial with the command

git commit -m 'Initial Commit'

It doesn't work.

When I type only "git commit"  I get the following message

Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.

On branch master

Initial commit

Changes to be comitted:

new file: locations.txt

Thanks Alexey,

The double quote makes a difference.

Kindly try to type:

git commit -m "Initial Commit"

If the command above does not work provide the error, which you can see in the terminal.
