Mastering Vim

Adding files, committing, and pushing

Let's add a file to our repository, animals/lion.py:

"""A lion."""import animalclass Lion(animal.Animal):    def __init__(self):        self.kind = 'lion'    def get_kind(self):        return self.kind

Next let's add a bit to animal_farm.py that invokes the file (the added lines are highlighted in bold):

...from animals import dogfrom animals import lionfrom animals import sheep...    if kind == 'dog':        return dog.Dog()    if kind == 'lion':        return lion.Lion()    if kind == 'sheep':        return sheep.Sheep()...

You can check the status of your files (to see which changes are going to make it into a commit) by running the following command:

$ git status

The output of the command will show you that you swap animal_farm.py repository ...
