+Explain the following: `git directory`, `working directory` and `staging area` + + +The Git directory is where Git stores the metadata and object database for your project. This is the most important part of Git, and it is what is copied when you clone a repository from another computer. + +The working directory is a single checkout of one version of the project.

It’s sometimes referred to as the index, but it’s becoming standard to refer to it as the staging area. + +This answer taken from [git-scm.com](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v1/Getting-Started-Git-Basics#_the_three_states) +
