​

Example Output

To save the changes you’ve made to your local files in your local Git repository, you should use the following Git commands:

1. git add . or git add <file>
   • This command stages the changes you’ve made, preparing them to be committed. The . adds all changes in the current directory and its subdirectories. If you only want to stage specific files, replace . with the file name or path.
2. git commit -m "Your commit message"
   • This command commits the staged changes to your local Git repository. The -m flag allows you to provide a commit message describing the changes you’ve made. Replace "Your commit message" with a brief, descriptive summary of your changes.

For example, if you’ve made changes to a file named example.txt, you would run:

Copy

git add example.txt
git commit -m "Update example.txt with new content"

These commands will save your changes in your local Git repository, creating a new commit with the provided message. You can later push these changes to a remote repository or continue working on your local branch. Remember to run these commands from within your Git repository directory in your terminal or command prompt.
