Reading git status
A detective lesson - no staging, no committing, just looking. notes.txt was
committed a while ago. Since then, someone (you, in another sitting) edited it
- and never staged or committed that change. It's just sitting there,
modified, in the working directory.
Your task: run git status and read what it tells you.
You'll practice:
- Recognizing "changes not staged for commit" in real git output
- Using
git status as a free, side-effect-free dashboard - run it anytime
