Little less wordy, removing gratuitous "that"
Oct 22, 2015 at 23:19 history edited Mark Amery CC BY-SA 3.0
This seems like a good compromise between Arslan's edits, which you objected to, and your original wording. This way is more correct but still doesn't use any terminology that would be unfamiliar to a Git newbie. Also tweaked the code snippet just to make it more blatant the third word is a filename

Reverting bad edit. Using the official git terminology is _not_ helpful to new git users.

The way information is being asked in question is wrong, and may mis-lead a newbie.

Reverting two bad edits back to my original wording. The original wording is more helpful to git newbies than using the appropriate git terminology.
