About Git
Git vs other systems |
The major difference between Git and any other VCS (Subversion and friends included) is that they store as a set of files and the changes made to each file over time. Git thinks about its data more like a stream of snapshots. |
Git states |
Git has three main states that your files can reside in: 1) committed, 2) modified, and 3) staged: |
* Committed means that the data is safely stored in your local database. |
* Modified means that you have changed the file but have not committed it to your database yet. |
* Staged means that you have marked a modified file in its current version to go into your next commit snapshot (staging area). |
