3. Putting the project under version control

Checking the status of the repository

Let's use the

git status
command to check the current state of the repository.

Task
Completed

Run the git status command in the terminal.

You should see the following output:

Result:
On branch main
nothing to commit, working tree clean

This means that the repository is clean and there are no changes to commit.

I use the git status command pretty often to check what files I have changed since the last commit. It's good practice to check the status and do a quick

review of changes before committing
. This way, you can be sure that you are committing the right changes.
