Summary - Status

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 → staged

Exercise 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.

Show example solution

let lifecycle = ['untracked', 'staged', 'committed'];

lifecycle.forEach(state => console.log(state));

Test yourself

Which command do you use to prepare a tracked file for commit after modifying it?
