Mid From PDF Version Control Git & GitHub

Explain the difference between git add and git commit.

  • git add: This command stages changes, telling Git which modifications you want to

include in the next commit. It doesn't save the changes to the repository yet, just

prepares them.

  • git commit: This actually saves the changes to the repository, creating a new entry

in your project’s history.

Real-World Example:

You’ve edited a few files in your project. First, you use git add . to stage all changes,

nd then you use git commit -m "Fixed bug in homepage" to save those changes

to the repository.
