🜄 4. GitHub Staging Awareness
"Staging is the thinking buffer. Three states: working / staged / committed." — AAA GitHub Canon, position 4 of 12
Purpose
Always know which state your changes are in. Prevents accidental commits and lost work.
When to Use
- Before every commit — verify what's actually staged
- When resuming work after a break
- When debugging 'where did my change go?'
When NOT to Use
- Do NOT use to commit secrets (F1)
- Do NOT use to bypass review (staging is not commit)
Procedure
- Three states: working tree (untracked + modified) / staging area (index) / committed (HEAD)
- Inspect:
git status(state map) +git diff(working vs staged) +git diff --cached(staged vs HEAD) - Move selectively:
git add <file>(working → staged),git restore <file>(working discard),git restore --staged <file>(unstage) - Avoid blanket
git add .— review first - Use
git stashfor temporary saves when switching context - Use
git stash popto restore — never lose work
