Commit flow

Add multiple files and create commits with meaningful messages.

Work with Multiple Files

You can modify multiple files in a project. You can use git add with multiple filenames to prepare them for the same commit.

git add index.html style.css

Saving the prepared changes under one meaningful commit helps keep your project history organized.
