Mastering the Git Stages: πŸ› οΈ Working on Changes, πŸš€ Staging for Success, πŸ“‚ Repository for Permanence! πŸ’»βœ¨

  1. Working directory πŸ“‚ Description: The working directory represents the current state of your project. It contains files pulled from a compressed database, and these are the files you can edit and modify. Function: It serves as the workspace where you make changes to your files before staging and committing them.
  2. Staging area 🚧 Description: The staging area is a crucial part of the Git workflow. It acts as an intermediate step between the working directory and the repository, allowing you to selectively choose changes to include in your next commit. Function: Before committing changes, you stage specific modifications, creating a snapshot of the changes you want to include in the next commit.
  3. Repository πŸ“¦ Description: The repository is where Git permanently stores the history of your project, including all committed changes. It holds a record of snapshots of your project at different points in time. Function: After staging changes in the working directory, you commit them to the repository using the git commit command. This action records the changes and adds a new snapshot to the project's history.
