Git is a Distributed Version Control System that mainly used for Source code management by developers.
Git basically divides your code into three part.
Working Area is your state of code before running the git add command.
The files in here also known as "untracked files".
To add the files into git you do git add and they moved to
staging area.
Here your code gets the stage (Pun Intended).
Before finalizing your code into production i.e. 'commit' you make required changes and after making sure
your code is ready to go into production you run git commit command.
which is basically telling git this is a final changes with the special stamp of "commit hash".
Then If you want you can push your code into remote repository sitting onto the cloud waiting to be forked and contributed by peoples across the glob.

Some people also like to create their own custom branches like `alpha, beta, stable` etc i.e. according to release state.
