How To Track, Stage, Diff, Commit and Ignore Files in Git
On these video series, we are going to learn and master using Git. A distributed version control system.
In Part 2 we will touch a little bit more on where the git configuration is found. We will look into how Git records and track changes to files. Add new files to track and commit. Use Diff to compare changes between staged and unstaged files and also how to compare from the last commit. And a learn how to ignore files from being tracked.
