Three Stage Architecture of Git:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Working Directory

2.Staging Area

3.Git Directory(Repository)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Working Directory

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The working directory is a single checkout of one version of the project.

This essentially means if you checkout a branch (e.g. master) and are sat on a particular commit (e.g. HEAD),
your working directory is the "umbrella" term for all your files and folders.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.Staging Area

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The staging area is like a rough draft space, it's where you can git add the version of a file or multiple files
that you want to save in your next commit (in other words in the next version of your project)

In simple terms,the files which we want to commit further will be sent to the staged area.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.Git Directory

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The . git folder contains all the information that is necessary for your project in version control and all the information about commits,
remote repository address, etc. All of them are present in this folder. It also contains a log that stores your commit history so that
you can roll back to history.
