We are going to do a process from creating repository, create new file in working directory, add to staging area, and Committing file into the repository.
We will do it by using text editor VS code. </aside>

For instance:

Creating a new file for python.

The status of git

On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        learning_git/

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

It is being said that the file is untracked which means we need to add that.

Git add

C:\\Users\\60115\\Documents\\Study\\Business Intelligence, Data Scientist, Data Analyst and Data Engineers\\Business Intelligence Analyst\\Python\\Python-Learning>git add py
thon.py

It seems when we are adding Git add there are no changes. However, when we check it, we will see that a file has been just added into directory. Unless we use git status, then it will appear.

C:\\Users\\60115\\Documents\\Study\\Business Intelligence, Data Scientist, Data Analyst and Data Engineers\\Business Intelligence Analyst\\Python\\Python-Learning>git add py
thon.py

C:\\Users\\60115\\Documents\\Study\\Business Intelligence, Data Scientist, Data Analyst and Data Engineers\\Business Intelligence Analyst\\Python\\Python-Learning>git status

On branch main
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/main'.

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)    
        new file:   python.py

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
        learning_git/

It means our file named “python.py” has been added into “Staging Area.”

Git Commit

C:\\Users\\60115\\Documents\\Study\\Business Intelligence, Data Scientist, Data Analyst and Data Engineers\\Business Intelligence Analyst\\Python\\Python-Learning\\learning_git\\Fundamental-Python-Learning>git commit -m "my first test"
[main f4e68f6] my first test

Check Status

On branch main
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/main' by 1 commit.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
        new file:   file_one.txt
        new file:   file_two.txt

Commit to Input in Local Repo

Let’s say we got another 2 files to add. file_one.txt and file_two.txt.
Letter U in the very right side → refers to “Untracked.”
We can basically add file one by one.
It is useful when we just want to commit some additional files.
While the other files are irrelevant.
Or when we are working on a file and the other has not yet finished.
Using Git add . to add entire files in this repo to update all.
Let’s check it.
As we can see here, changes have been committed.
All of new files aside of file**test_python.py** is added.
However, these 2 files are in still “Staging Area.”
