why we need to add at staging area before commit

Question

Hi,

I'm new in Git & GitHub. From tutorials I came to know before commit, I have to add in staging area. 

Can somebody tell why we need to add into staging area before commit?

Thank You

Hi@akhtar,

The staging area is like a rough draft space, it's where you can git add the version of a file or multiple files that you want to save in your next commit (in other words in the next version of your project).
