An explanation maps the four file states (uncreated, staged area, edited, saved) to concrete Git commands and shows how to do everyday work from the terminal: git pull, git checkout/new branch, then edit locally, then git add and git commit, then git push. The claim is that those six commands cover 75% of day-to-day Git needs; the lightning format demonstrates the simple mental model and a working minimal workflow.
