You have now been introduced to the fundamental Git workflow. You learned a lot! Let’s take a moment to generalize:

• Git is the industry-standard version control system for web developers
• Use Git commands to help keep track of changes made to a project:
  • git init creates a new Git repository
  • git status inspects the contents of the working directory and staging area
  • git add adds files from the working directory to the staging area
  • git diff shows the difference between the working directory and the staging area
  • git commit permanently stores file changes from the staging area in the repository
  • git log shows a list of all previous commits
