Step 3: Check Status and Make Changes

While you're working, you'll often want to know: what's the status of my project files? Did I already stage this file? Are there files I haven't started tracking yet?

A: Check the status of your project

In the example-project directory, check the status of your repository:

git status

This will list which files are staged, unstaged, or untracked.

B: Modify Files and Commit Again

Make a few changes to README.md. When you're done, stage and commit those changes:

Stage: git add README.md

Commit: git commit -m "Update README with project information"
