Throughout your Rails programming career you're going to type `rails server` a
lot. In fact, you'll type this so much that DHH (David Heinemeier Hansson, creator of Ruby on Rails) and the Rails Core team
decided to save you 5 keystrokes per server restart. Simply typing `rails s`
is the same as `rails server`.

With Git, there are usually many ways to do very similar things. `git add` adds changes in your working directory to the local repository.

* `git add -A` adds everything, including deletions
"Adding deletions" may sound weird, but if you think of a version control system as keeping track of *changes*, it might make more sense.
