What is git index?

see explanation

git add -p

-p, --patch
Interactively choose hunks of patch between the index and the work tree and add them to the index. This gives
the user a chance to review the difference before adding modified contents to the index.

The git index goes by many names.

But they all refer to the same thing. Some of the names you may have heard:

  • Index
  • Cache
  • Directory cache
  • Current directory cache
  • Staging area
  • Staged files
