Editing Git (section)

===File States===
Each file in the working directory can have one the following states: 
* '''Untracked''' (unversioned) means the file is not tracked by the Git repository. This means that the file never staged nor committed.
* '''Tracked''' (committed) means that the data is safely stored in your local database. The tracked files can be:
** '''new file''': new file being staged by <code>git add</code> for the first time for this file
** '''Unmodified''': the file was commited and is unchanged
** '''Modified''' (unstaged): the files was edited (but not staged)
** '''Staged''' (indexed): a modified file is marked in its current version to go into your next commit snapshot by <code>git add</code>
