Hi. What does  from inside the parsoid folder means? Should I type the commands in the command line?

AhmadF.Cheema (talkcontribs)

Yes, those git commands need to be run from the command line.

In your command prompt, run cd C:\parsoid\ after which, run the git commands.

OR a quick shortcut to open a command prompt inside a desired folder is to open that folder in Windows/File Explorer, type and enter cmd in the address bar of File Explorer, and it will automatically open a command prompt for that folder.

@AhmadF.Cheema, thanks for answering. When I try to run those commands (git init, add . and commit) it shows: Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.

If I remember correctly, this is the expected behaviour. You should now try to follow the next two steps.

@AhmadF.Cheema: No, because after that I don't get to see Aborting commit due to empty commit message. Am I doing something wrong?

AhmadF.Cheema (talkcontribs)

Taking another look at the steps, you shouldn't be getting the "branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit" message, since the previous steps did not involve any git commit command.

I think you should try from the beginning, you appear to have made some mistake in following the instructions.
