Git & GitHub : Understanding the Git Staging Area
The staging area is a real, genuine middle step between editing a file and committing it, letting you choose exactly what goes into each commit. In this video you'll stage some changes but not others.
Code walkthrough (bash):
git status
git add styles.css
git add -p script.js
git commit -m "Update styles"
What it looks like: ❌ Every edited file gets bundled into one giant, unrelated real commit → ✅ git add styles.css — only that real file's changes are genuinely included in the commit
Try it yourself: Edit two real files, stage only one, and commit just that one change.
