What's the use of the staging area in git? on Stackoverflow (10 min)
The idea of the staging area is frequently one of the trickiest concepts to wrap your head around when you're first learning git. Read the question and answers (or do your own Googling on the git staging area). Then, create your own metaphor comparing the staging area to something in real life.
- Type your metaphor below: Bull riding. You have a bull in the shoot, it has been selcted to be ridden, then it is placed in the staging pen (a smaller stall where the rider is fitted to the bull but but the bull can't move yet), then you open the pen door and bull and rider are sent off, at this point the rider has commited to the ride.
If you have any questions, comments, or confusions that you would an instructor to address, list them below:
- Git is hard but trying to do a lot of practicing.
Nice work, @Garrett-Iannuzzi! Bull riding sounds scary, but I like your staging area metaphor. It shows that when you have added things to the git staging area, you can still modify them, just like you can still back out of bull riding even when it is in the staging pen.
