Git tracked file states
The states of tracked files that we saw in previous lessons have names. A file can have three states: modified, staged, and committed.
A file becomes modified when edits have been made to it but not saved. A file becomes staged when it has been added for inclusion in a commit. A committed state means that the commit has already been saved and included in your repository.
