Status

A file can be in one of several states in a Git repository. Here are a few important ones:

  • untracked: Not being tracked by Git
  • staged: Marked for inclusion in the next commit
  • committed: Saved to the repository's history

The git status command shows you the current state of your repo. It will tell you which files are untracked, staged, and committed.

Assignment

Every good content management system needs a table of contents.

# contents

The .md extension means it's a markdown file, which is popular for writing docs.

git status

Run and submit the CLI tests from within the webflyx directory.

Troubleshooting

This course expects Git's output to be in English. If it is not, you can temporarily set your terminal to English:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en

You might need to install the language pack for your system, e.g. sudo apt-get install language-pack-en for Ubuntu.
