Combine add and commit to record the first snapshot.
Save Your First Snapshot
Before your first commit, you add files to the staging area with git add. Then use git commit -m to save these changes to the repository history with a descriptive message.
git add index.html
git add style.css
git commit -m "Create first page"Practice Build the First Commit Command Sequence
Stage home.html and main.css with separate commands. Then use git commit -m with the message Save the first design. Store all three commands in an array in order and print each on a separate line.
Starter code
// Komut dizisini oluştur
let workflow = [];
// Dosyaları sahneleme ve commit komutlarını ekle
// Komutları ekrana yazdırSample solution
let workflow = [
'git add home.html',
'git add main.css',
'git commit -m "İlk tasarımı kaydet"'
];
workflow.forEach(item => console.log(item));Expected output
git add home.html git add main.css git commit -m "İlk tasarımı kaydet"
