Git Status Command Quiz
Question
What information does `git status` show you?
Hint
Think about what 'status' means — the current situation.
Explanation
git status shows the current state of your working directory and staging area: which files are modified, which are staged, and which are untracked. It does NOT show commit history (that is git log), branches (that is git branch), or .gitignore contents.
