# Basic Workflow

1. Status

git status
```

2. Add File 

The git add command is used to add file contents to the Index (Staging Area).

```bash
git add
Ex: git add filename
```

```bash
git add . or git add *
```

```bash
git add test.txt
```

3. Commit

```bash
git commit
```

```bash
git commit -m “msg”
Ex: git commit -m “First file”
```

4. Remove File

```bash
git rm
```

git rm is used to remove a file from a Git repository.

```bash
git rm test.txt 
git rm -r test.txt
```
