What is the Staging area in Git?
The staging area is the preview of your next commit. When you create a git commit, Git automatically takes changes that are in the staging area and makes them a new commit. You can add and remove changes from the staging area. But if you add a file let’s say “file.txt” then it is an untracked file and now if you execute git status then it is shown in red color.
If you run the git status command without running git init you will get an error.
What is Git Init?
Git, a widely used version control system, allows developers to track changes in their code and collaborate efficiently. One of the first commands you will encounter when starting with Git is git init
. This command is fundamental for creating a new Git repository, setting the stage for version control. In this article, we will explore what git init
does, why it is important, and how to use it effectively.
