Committing Changes

To commit changes in Git, follow these steps:

  1. Stage Your Changes: Use the git add command to stage the changes you want to commit. This prepares them for the next commit.

    git add <file_name>
    

    You can use . to stage all changes (not including new files) or use --all to stage all changes (including new files).

    git add .
    git add --all
    
  2. Create a Commit: Use the git commit command to create a new commit with a descriptive message.

    git commit -m "Your commit message here"
    

    Replace "Your commit message here" with a brief and clear description of the changes made in this commit.
