Scenario:

You have a Git repository at /home/interview/repo where you modified three files: app.js, style.css, and config.json.

Task:

Stage only app.js and style.css for commit in the repository at /home/interview/repo, leaving config.json unstaged.

Step 1: Navigate to the repository

cd /home/interview/repo

Step 2: Check current status

git status

Shows all modified files in the working directory.

Step 3: Stage specific files

git add app.js style.css

Add both app.js and style.css to the staging area in a single command, leaving config.json unstaged.

Step 4: Verify staging

git status

Should show app.js and style.css staged (green), config.json unstaged (red).
