beginnerStage Your First File
Goal
Move changes from the working tree into the staging area with git add.
This repository was just initialized, and all three project files are untracked. Stage them one at a time first, then learn the shortcut for staging everything that is left.
Keep an eye on the Working Tree and Staging Area panels as you go.

Reference
Staging a single file
$ git add README.md
git add prints nothing when it succeeds, like most Git commands. Run git status afterwards: the file moves from "Untracked files" to "Changes to be committed".
Staging everything at once
$ git add .
The . means "this folder". Every new, modified or deleted file inside it is staged.
