Combine the add command to stage multiple files.
Stage Multiple Files
To stage multiple files individually, specify each file path with a separate git add command. This lets you choose which files will be prepared for a commit.
git add index.html
git add style.css
git statusPractice Build a Two-File Staging Flow
Add commands that stage index.html and style.css separately to an array. Add git status as the final command, then print all commands line by line.
Starter code

let commands = [
'git add index.html',
'git add style.css',
'git status'
];
commands.forEach(command => console.log(command));Expected output
git add index.html git add style.css git status
