Staging area deeper

Craft the exact commit.

Illustration for Git
Lesson 1 is on the house.

The index is a separate snapshot between working tree and HEAD.

You can stage part of a file with git add -p and leave other hunks unstaged.

git restore --staged path unstages without discarding working-tree edits.

status and diff --staged together tell you what the next commit will contain.

Clean commits are built in the index — not by hoping the working tree is tidy.

stage

git add -p
git diff --staged
