$ git status
On branch main
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/main' by 3 commits.
(use "git push" to publish your local commits)
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
.gitignore~
Example Code 2
Example Code 2.php
Example Code 3.php
Example code 1.php
downloadpdf.php
htmllinkpdf.html
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
Let's add the downloadpdf.php file and commit the changes. We run the following code to add it:
$ git add downloadpdf.php
To commit, we run the following command:
$ git commit
After running the git commit command, the commit editor will pop up as shown below:
