When you initialize a Git repository in a directory, Git starts
tracking the changes you make inside that directory.
This tracking creates a history of the way the files have changed
over time.
Git uses a two-step process to record changes to your files. Changes
to files must first be added to the staging area, then committed to the
Git repository.
