The first one uses find to find files, in this case the files ending
with a tilde and then delete those, the {} is the file name and the \;
is just telling we are at the end of the command we wanted to run on all
the found files. Keep in mind to always have the "" around the file name
you are looking for, or bash will expand it and you will get false results.

Sorry, the -a option don't work with uncommited files, it to work the
files has to be in the repository already.

No, there is nothing in the git repository at the moment.

As your commit failed, you need to first add files
git add migrate j2.txt jonathan.txt && git commit -m "initial commit" -a
and now you would have the migrate and the two text files in the repository.
There is two ways to remove something from the repository, method one:
1. Delete/Rename/Move the file you want to remove
2. git rm <file>
3. git commit -m "why you remove it" <file>
or shorter (this will delete the file for you):
1. git rm <file>
2. git commit -m "why you remove it" <file>
<file> = file or directory
