The staging area is a file (also called the “index”, “stage”, or “cache”) that stores information about what will go into your next commit. The working directory pulls the project’s files from the Git directory’s object database and places them on the user’s local machine. The working directory is where a user makes local changes to a project. This includes metadata and an object database which includes compressed versions of the project files.
