-            - can I have your attention, please?
-            - content can be in three stages
-            - we make changes, these are not yet known to git
-            - we prepare a commit by **successively** adding changes to the
-            staging area
-            - we commit this **set of changes**
-            - a commit **should be a logical unit** of changes
+            - **don't demo here! that's done during next slide, this one is
+              about the concept of the staging area**
+            - **call for attention, this is important**
+            - in a local git repository, content can be in three stages
+            - make local changes, these are **not yet** known to git
