Question

I am a beginner in Git, and I tried to do my first commit.

After command $ git commit I got the following message:

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

• Ubuntu version: 12.04
• Git version: 1.7.9.5

Added later:
Now I am getting this message: “Aborting commit due to empty commit message.”

My default editor is gedit.

Try git commit -m "commit message". If this works, then maybe your problem is related to editor. Set your commit message editor to something working in terminal, like vim or nano

git config --global core.editor "nano"

and see if this works.
