4  Working with git

The basic git workflow looks as follows:

   a[make change] --> b[git add] --> c[git commit] --> d[git push]

1. Make an edit. For example in one of your chapters. Save the edit (CNTR + S)
2. Take a look whether git has recorded that you have made a change:
   1. Terminal:
      1. git status will list all the files which have been edited, but not committed.
      2. git diff YOURFILENAME will display what content of your file has been changed.
   2. RStudio:
      1. Click the Git tab on the top right of your screen. There, you will see which files have been edited, but not committed.
      2. Select a file from the list in the Git tab, and click Diff to see what content of the file has been changed.
3. Commit the change [WIP]
