COMMON QUESTIONS

What is stage changes in Visual Studio Code?
The staging area, also known as the index, is a temporary location where Git stores changes you have made to files that are tracked by Git but not yet committed. Staging changes allows you to review and selectively choose which changes to commit before you make a permanent snapshot of the changes to the Git repository.

What does it mean to stage changes?
By staging changes, you have the ability to review and selectively choose which changes to include in your commits, which can help you maintain a clean and organized Git history.

What's the difference between stage changes and changes?
n Git, "changes" refer to modifications made to files in your working directory since the last commit. These changes are not yet staged, meaning they have not been added to the Git staging area and are not yet ready to be committed.

On the other hand, "staged changes" or "staged modifications" refer to changes that you have explicitly added to the Git staging area, indicating that you want to include them in your next commit. Staged changes are essentially a snapshot of the changes that you have reviewed and confirmed as ready to be committed to your Git repository.

When you commit, a popup window will appear allowing to either commit state changes or commit everything including the changes. Watch my video for this popup window.
