# Stage Changes Stage implementation changes with precise file selection. ## Step 1: Identify Changes Run `git status` to see all modified, added, and deleted files. ## Step 2: Stage Files Stage only the files relevant to the current task: ```bash git add <file1> <file2> ... ``` - Do not use `git add -A` or `git add .` - If a file contains both relevant and unrelated changes, use `git add -p <file>` to stage only the relevant hunks - Never stage files containing secrets (`.env`, credentials, API keys). Warn if detected. ## Step 3: Verify Run `git status` and `git diff --cached` to verify the staging area contains exactly the intended changes.
