What's the use of the staging area in git? on Stackoverflow (10 min)
The idea of the staging area is frequently one of the trickiest concepts to wrap your head around when you're first learning git. Read the question and answers (or do your own Googling on the git staging area). Then, create your own metaphor comparing the staging area to something in real life.
- Type your metaphor below: Staging area helps to organize and to split big project into pieces. It looks like bilding house. You can do small projects such as prepare construction site and pour foundation (first commit), construct rough framing (second commit), install walls (third commit), etc. Whithin one small project you do all necessary actions, correct mistakes and then finish it. Commit is finish of small project which can be united in bigger project or in final project.
