I am a newbie... just start recently preparing for the out reach program in 
December.... i started at: https://kernelnewbies.org/Outreachyfirstpatch 
but i have a number of difficulties:
1. After editx... ,  recompiling my driver, installing the changes and 
rebooting my linux system . I tested the changes but i didn't find the 
message " I can modify the Linux kernel!".... i contacted the irc 
channel:#kernel-outreachy but i seemed not to exist.
2. i went ahead to creating the .git/hooks/pre-commit but when i try 
staging and commiting the file i get the respective errors:

error: Invalid path '.git/hooks/pre-commit'
error: unable to add .git/hooks/pre-commit to index
fatal: adding files failed

and

error: pathspec 'First patch' did not match any file(s) known to git.

please some one help me out???
