#    SECTION - ADD FILES TO A GIT REPOSITORY
#========================================================================

# ADD FILES TO A GIT REPOSITORY 

# To tell Git about the file, we will use the git add command:

git add paper.md 
git status 

# Now our file is listed underneath where it says Changes to be 
# committed.
#
# git add is used for two purposes:
# - to tell Git that a given file should be tracked. 
# - Secondly, to put the file into the Git staging area which is 
#   also known as the index or the cache.
