 ### What is GIT?
 
-GIT is software that allows you to save your work at any given moment in time during your work. It's typically called a `version control system`, which essentially means that it allows you to create `versions` of your workspace and makes possible to switch between older and newer states.
-
-For example, let's say you have a folder with a single file. You can use GIT to make a "snapshot" of the current state of your workspace. This snapshot can be accessed at any given moment, in case something went wrong (files corrupted, complex code that can't easily be reverted).
+GIT is software that allows you to save your work at any given moment in time. It's typically called a `version control system`, which essentially means that it allows you to create `versions` of your workspace and makes possible to switch between older and newer states.
 
 You can think of it like a video game. You get to a certain point in the game, after hours of struggle. You're really proud of how far you've come, and don't want to do it over again in case you die. So you decide to _save your game_. If something bad happens after that point you can always reload your game and start from that point on.
 
-This is exactly what happens with GIT: however, instead of calling it _saving your game_ we call it **committing your changes**. If you want to ever go back to a previous _game save_ you can load it by **checking out that commit**. You will learn more about that in the next sections.

+There are different ways of using GIT. For now we'll learn one procedure: committing your workspace to a local repository. Let's take that phrase apart first:
 
 - **Committing** is another word for saving or storing the changes you've made to the files in your workspace. For example, changing the content of a file is a "change".
 - **Workspace** is another word for the project folder (and its contents). When making a repository it will be in the root (in other words, the top level) of the folder.
 - **Local** refers to your computer, with no involvement of the internet. When you create a file or folder on your computer, you are creating it "locally".
-- **Repository** is a storage location inside which the data regarding your project folder is kept. GIT creates a hidden folder `.git` that functions as the local repository.

 No we can continue with the actual procedure itself. This happens in 3 stages:
 
 1. **Untracked**. In this stage GIT is not aware of the changes in your workspace.
-2. **Staged**. In this stage the changes are kept track of by GIT.
-3. **Committed** In this stage your changes have been saved into the local repository. If at any moment you need to refer to a previous version of your workspace you can safely do that now.

 ### Responsive design with media queries
 
-Nowadays people use different devices to access websites: desktops, tablets and mobiles of all different sizes. Responsive design is a way to put together a website so that it automatically scales its content and elements to match the screen size on which it is viewed. It keeps images from being larger than the screen width, and prevents visitors on mobile devices from needing to do extra work to read your content.
