What are the key areas of a Git project?

Short answer: (Working Directory, Staging Area, Repository) Working Directory: This is where you make changes to the files.

Explain a bit more

It's your local workspace where you're actively editing code. Staging Area (Index): This is like a holding area where you prepare files before committing them to the repository. You can choose which changes to add here. Repository: This is where Git stores the project’s history (commits). It's the permanent record of your project's evolution. Real-World

Example code

When you're editing code, it starts in the working directory. After editing, you "stage" your changes (using git add), which moves them to the staging area. Once you're ready to save your changes permanently, you commit them to the repository using git commit.

Say this in the interview

1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
