#Terminal commands that have been used so far in this challenge:

*git clone . Clones the github repository on personal computer. *touch awesome_page.md. Creates a md document inside the phase-0-gps-1 repo on computer. *git add awesome_page.md. Stages the new file, preparing it for commit. *git commit -m "commit message". Commits the new file in git with a message explaining the last changes that were made prior to the commit. *git push origin master.

Git can track when a file is modified, whether it is untracked or staged, and whether it is committed or not. To begin tracking a file, use the 'git add' command to stage the file. Now that the file is staged, the next step is to commit it with a commit message, thus saving the new version.
