# Review and commit changes [#review-and-commit-changes]

Once you have edited a few pages, you need to commit them. Atlas has Git built in, so you can review what changed and commit without switching to a terminal.

## Reviewing what changed [#reviewing-what-changed]

Atlas shows your working-tree changes: every file you have added, edited, or removed since the last commit. Select a file to see its diff, so you can read exactly what you are about to commit, line by line.

## Staging and committing [#staging-and-committing]

You choose which files go into a commit. Stage the ones you want, write a commit message, and commit. The files you leave out stay as working changes for a later commit.

This makes it easy to split unrelated edits into clean, separate commits instead of one big mixed one.

<Callout type="info">
  Atlas works on the same Git repo as your terminal. Anything you commit here shows up in `git log`, and anything you commit in the terminal shows up here.
