Combine the status output to explain the file lifecycle.
The Git File Status Lifecycle
A new file starts as untracked. When a tracked file is changed, it becomes modified; when the change is staged, it enters the staged state.
untracked → staged
modified → stagedPractice Build a File Status Flow
Put the stages of a new file being staged and saved into an array. Use untracked, staged, and committed in that order. Then print each state on a separate line.
Starter code
// Dosya yaşam döngüsünü tanımla
let lifecycle = [];
// Durumları ekrana yazdırSample solution
let lifecycle = ['untracked', 'staged', 'committed'];
lifecycle.forEach(state => console.log(state));Expected output
untracked staged committed
