  • Best practice is to always review what you have in staging area before commit
  • Changes in the old copy are indicated by - sign
  • Changes in the new copy are indicated by + sign
  • git will not show the entire file but only the changes
  • git divide the file into chunks, every chunk has a header with info context
  • segment with - sign shows details about old copy
  • segment with + sign shows details about new copy
