Commit and push

A commit is a snapshot on your computer. A push sends those snapshots to GitHub so the rest of the studio can see them.

Work on a branch, not main, unless a maintainer asked you to.

1. See what changed

git status
git diff

status lists files. diff shows the edits.

2. Stage and commit

git add .
git commit -m "Add clone steps to the Git handbook"

• git add . stages every change in the current folder. Prefer git add path/to/file.md when you only want some files.
• Write a short, imperative subject: “Add…”, “Fix…”, “Document…”.

3. Push the branch
