Summary - Commit

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"

Exercise 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.

Show example solution

let workflow = [
  'git add home.html',
  'git add main.css',
  'git commit -m "İlk tasarımı kaydet"'
];

workflow.forEach(item => console.log(item));
