Commit your source

Quest: commit-source

Mission

Review a real source change before staging it, then commit and inspect the history. Preserve source as you improve it, not only at the final handoff.

Run cd ~/src. Stop if it fails; do not run Git in a different directory by accident. If this is not yet a repository, follow the Git workflow first.
Run git status and git diff --staged. If unrelated changes are already staged, preserve them and ask for help separating the work before committing.
Run git diff to read unstaged changes. Read new files in your editor too: unstaged diffs do not display untracked file contents.
Stage only the intended source paths with git add --, followed by those paths. For an edited homepage, use git add -- pages/index.md; do not use git add ..
Run git diff --staged again. Inspect the complete staged diff for unintended changes and credentials before proceeding.
If the staged changes are correct, commit with a message describing the actual work, such as git commit -m "Document my web server". If nothing changed, do not create an empty commit.
Run git log --oneline and git status to confirm the result. This quest does not require pushing.
If you use recorded progress, ask the guide to check your command history. Its observation is not a review of your source or proof of a recoverable handoff.

Commit source, not generated output under ~/public_html. Never stage passwords, tokens, or private keys.
Read both unstaged and staged diffs before the commit; the complete staged diff determines what will be saved.

Run the missing git command, then ask for another check.
