Git has 3 main sections - Working Directory, Staging Area and Local Repository. image.png

Working Directory:

  • This has all our project files and the .git directory.
  • This is the directory where we make changes to the files, add new files, delete files, etc.

Staging Area:

  • This is a section that contains all the information about what will go in the next commit.
  • That is, it contains information about what will be stored in the local repository next.

Local Repository:

  • This is the section where Git stores metadata and object database for our project.
