Can you do a git pull? I'm confused here, the repositories there were moved 
(at your request), so I would expect you can't push to it.

We do have other stuff to do too, you know. While your expectations are 
somewhat reasonable, we also expect something from you. We expect you to learn 
the tools we are using. Of course a bit of hand holding is OK at the early 
stages, but you have to show you are learning.
In this case you are not showing what effort have you put in learning how to 
work with git. You do not know how to commit, which is a very basic thing all 
tutorials cover. In the team FAQ, we link to a packaging with git explanation 
page. Read it. Or the other tutorial I sent you earlier. 

Saludos,
