"stage files" vs "cached files"

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

after having read tutorial1+2, I thought the following were more or less synonyms: index ~ directory cache ~ staging area

But then I discover that --cache and --staged are two different things, notably when using ls-files.

The documentation states indeed:
 "--cached   Show cached files in the output"
 "--stage    Show stage files in the output"

I'm a bit confused. Is maybe a "stage file" entry missing in the glossary?

TIA for clarification/pointer.
