Learn.GitHub - Normal Workflow

So you have a Git repository and everything is all setup. What now?
Generally, it is not going to be much different than working with any other source control system, the only real difference should be the staging process. The workflow will generally go something like this:

• modify files
• see what you’ve changed
• stage the changes you want to commit
• commit your staged changes
• rinse, repeat

That is the most complex case - if you’re not collaborating with anyone and so have no upstream repository to push to, and you want to ignore the staging area, it can be as simple as:

• modify files
• commit your changes
• repeat

Easy peasy. Remember, Git is decentralized, so you don’t actually need a public or shared server to commit to - you can use it like RCS if you want and just track local changes.
