Description: Untracked refers to files in the working directory that are not being tracked by Git. This means that Git has no information about these files, as they have not been added to the tracking index. In a development project, it is common to have files that are not intended to be included in version control, such as temporary files, local configuration files, or build artifacts. These files may be created by the development environment or by the operating system itself. Git allows developers to easily identify these untracked files using the ‘git status’ command, which provides a summary of the repository’s state, including untracked files. Proper management of these files is crucial for keeping a repository clean and organized, preventing accidental inclusion in commits. Additionally, Git offers the option to ignore certain files through a file called ‘.gitignore’, where patterns of file or directory names can be specified for Git to omit. This helps maintain focus on the files relevant to the project and avoid unnecessary conflicts in version control.
