Now that you have a branch, it’s time to create a file and make your first commit!\n\n**What is a commit?**: A _[commit](https://docs.github.com/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/about-commits)_ is a set of changes to the files and folders in your project. A commit exists in a branch. For more information, see \"[About commits](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/about-commits)\".\n\n### :keyboard: Activity: Your first commit\n\nThe following steps will guide you through the process of committing a change on GitHub. A commit records changes in renaming, changing content within, creating a new file, and any other changes made to your project. For this exercise, committing a change requires first adding a new file to your new branch.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e `.md` is a file extension that creates a Markdown file. You can learn more about Markdown by visiting \"[Basic writing and formatting syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax)\" in our docs or by taking the \"[Communicating using Markdown](https://github.com/skills/communicate-using-markdown)\" Skills course.\n\n1. On the **\u003c \u003e Code** tab in the header menu of your repository, make sure you're on your new branch `my-first-branch`.\n\n2. Select the **Add file** drop-down and click **Create new file**.\n\n   ![create new file option](/images/create-new-file.png)\n\n3. In the **Name your file...** field, enter `PROFILE.md`.\n\n4. In the **Enter file contents here** area, copy the following content to your file:\n\n   ```\n   Welcome to my GitHub profile!\n   ```\n\n   ![profile.md file screenshot](/images/my-profile-file.png)\n\n5. Click **Commit changes...** in the upper right corner above the contents box. For commits, you can enter a short commit message that describes what changes you made. This message helps others know what's included in your commit. GitHub offers a simple default message, but let's change it slightly for practice. First, enter `Add PROFILE.md` in the first text-entry field titled \"Commit message\".\n\n   ![screenshot of adding a new file with a commit message](/images/commit-full-screen.png)\n\n6. In this lesson, we'll ignore the other fields and click **Commit changes**.\n7. Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from).
