Hey everyone, I’m just getting started with Git and I’m trying to understand the basics. What’s the command to check the current status of my repository, like which files have been modified or are staged for a commit? Thanks in advance

Heya!
To check the current status of your repository, you can use the command:
git status
This command will show you which files have been modified, added, or deleted, and whether they’re staged for commit or not. It’s super useful to keep track of what’s happening in your repo. Hope this helps!
