Staging changes using Git Bash

Staging changes using Git Bash 

Once the changes are done in the local working copy, they need to be staged/indexed, this will move the changes to the staging area, from here the changes should be committed to the local repository, and finally be pushed to the remote repository for other users to use the changes.
