The short answer
Committing is separate from pushing and publishing. Distinguishing them prevents accidental assumptions about what is public.
Try it in three steps
- Edit a short description in a practice repository.
- Review the diff and commit with a specific explanation.
- Check remote and deployment state separately.
A practice prompt
Before you start
Start with state classification, not commands in a real repository.
Practice material (fictional)
A: saved in editor. B: committed locally. C: pushed remotely. D: deployment reports the new live revision.Replace placeholders in the prompt with this material, or append the material if there are no placeholders. Reading time excludes doing the exercise.
Report save, commit, push and publication states separately. Mark unknowns and perform no remote actions.What to look for (not a recorded test result)
The stages differ. A or B does not establish remote visibility, and D still needs a public revision check.
If it goes wrong
Replace vague messages with purpose, such as document offline startup steps.
Check your result
You can understand the change's purpose without confusing its publication status.
