for example, I've created a simple repository. Containing two files
('to rename.txt' and 'to remove.txt'). I wanted to prepare for the
index changing the name of the first file and deleting the second
file. what git shows you looks wrong. Please check the four
instructions
$ git add .
$ git commit -m " first commit"
$ git mv to\ rename.txt new\ name.txt
$ git rm to\ remove.txt
