Working Directory

Once the repo is created, every change that you make, whether creating, modifying or deleting files, are going to be tracked automatically by git.

Use the following command to see the current status of the repo:

git status

git status gives us this information:

• current branch
• modified files that are being tracked
• modified files that are not being tracked

Modified files are recognized by git, but they are in a stage called working directory.

In order to track a modified file you can use git add command.
