The next core idea or command is git status over here on our computer. We've got our repository, we want to know what files have we changed.
0:12
What files could be added that are just hanging around. What have we deleted all those kinds of things.
0:17
Basically. What is the state of our repository of uncommitted work locally. So that's where status comes in.
0:27
We can go over and if we have these three files we could type git status and you would see that on the command prompt is going to show us like,
0:34
oh, file two is actually new and file three is untracked. Great. But that's not how we normally see it.
0:41
Normally we're in something like source tree where we have a cool listing that says, look here, you have some pending files,
0:49
File two is green with a plus and it's got a check that means it's added
0:53
and ready to be committed. File three as a question mark because it's just completely untracked. But if you check that check mark,
1:00
it will add it. We can also see that in PyCharm in the colors in the projects and the editors.
1:06
Again, you don't necessarily directly work this most of the time. It just happens behind the scenes with the UI tools that we're using.
1:13
It's worth pointing out. This has no relationship to the hosting server if there are changes or other things going on that other people have done.
1:23
Maybe unsynced changes. You have stuff you could push or stuff you could pull
1:27
it doesn't address that. This is only about what has happened locally on your copy of the github repository.
