Terminal, repository, and status

What you will build

Initialize in the right folder and understand untracked, modified, and staged states.

Understand the idea first

Initialize in the right folder and understand untracked, modified, and staged states.

Build it step by step

cd my-learning-page
git init
git status
git add index.html
git status

1. Open the previous project and record its result.
2. Type the example and complete: Create all three states and inspect each with status.
3. Change one input, predict, then verify.
4. Create and repair: If git init ran in a parent folder, stop and locate the actual .git directory.

Read the important lines

• Initialize in the right folder and understand untracked, modified, and staged states.
• Read input, processing, and output separately.
• Verify another input and an edge case.

Common mistakes and what to check

Practice without copying

Create all three states and inspect each with status.

Completion check

• I produced the required visible result
• I can explain the input, processing, and output
• I tested normal, edge, and failure cases
