How staging and committing work in Git
Git records history in two steps. First git add places changes into the staging area (the index) - a draft of your next snapshot. Then git commit turns whatever is staged into a permanent commit with a message. The two-step design is deliberate: it lets you commit some of your edits while leaving the rest for a later, cleaner commit.
The third command in this group, git commit --amend, rewrites the most recent commit - the standard fix for a typo in the message or a file you forgot to stage. Together these three commands are the write path of Git: everything else in the tool exists to organize, combine, or undo what they record.
Preguntas frecuentes
What does git add actually do?
It copies the current state of a file into the staging area, marking it for inclusion in the next commit. Nothing is saved to history yet -
git add stages, git commit records. Use git add . for everything or git add -p to stage individual chunks.How do I commit all my changes in one command?
git commit -am "message" stages every modified tracked file and commits it in one step. Note that it skips brand-new (untracked) files - those still need an explicit git add first.Can I change a commit after making it?
Yes -
git commit --amend replaces the last commit, letting you edit its message or include newly staged files. Only amend commits you have not pushed yet; amending rewrites history, which causes conflicts for anyone who already pulled it.
