What is Git ?

In order to make it more easier to understand, we can break Git as :

Four Areas of Git

• Working Area -> Its a place where we keep our current files on which we are about to work.
• Repository -> Contains entire history of Project
• Index Area -> Intermediate area, a place where we put our files before commit
• Stash -> Temporary storage area
