Gitkraken delete repo7/11/2023 ![]() Note that all the icons remain the same in this list, so you can easily tell which type of change was staged for a given entry.Īt this point, you would be ready to “commit” these changes to your local repository, if desired. I can “stage” all of these changes at once by clicking the green, “Stage all changes” button in the area above the “Unstaged Files” list -Ĭlicking this button will move all of the lines shown from “Unstaged Files” to “Staged Files”. The green plus icon indicates a new file was created. The red dash icon indicates a file was deleted. The yellow pencil icon indicates a change was made to a file. You can see in the following screenshot, all three of these types of changes waiting to be staged. With all three of these types of changes, nothing is ready to commit until we “stage” them. If you delete a file that was previously being tracked. ![]() If you add a new file to the repository (that isn’t being ignored by git - we’ll dive into git ignore files soon, too!), it will simply exist on disk, and git will know it’s new, but again if you commit now, nothing would actually happen.We have to tell git that the changed file should be committed by “staging” it. If you were to perform a commit on the repository right now, nothing would actually happen. When you make a change to a “tracked” file (a file that has previously been committed to the repository, for example, a file that you received during the cloning process), it simply exists in a changed state on the file system and git knows it changed.There are three primary reasons you might need to “stage” a file: Let’s get an idea of what it means to “stage” (or “unstage”) your changes in a git repository. In this post, I’m going to show you how to add and remove files - or, in git lingo, stage and unstage files. However, just editing or creating files in the repository doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be committed, pushed (future topics, I promise), and available for other folks to work with. Now that we have a repository to work with, we need to make some changes! Maybe that involves changing existing files, or adding new ones. In my previous post, “ GitKraken Git GUI How-To: Cloning a Repository”, we went over how to do just that.
