// 2. Check status before adding
const statusBefore = await codebolt.git.status();
console.log('Status before add:', statusBefore);

// 3. Add all changes to staging area
const addResult = await codebolt.git.addAll();
console.log('✅ Git add result:', addResult);

// 4. Check status after adding
const statusAfter = await codebolt.git.status();
