| <div class="paragraph"><p>This command updates the index using the current content found in | |
| the working tree, to prepare the content staged for the next commit. | |
| It typically adds the current content of existing paths as a whole, | |
| but with some options it can also be used to add content with | |
| only part of the changes made to the working tree files applied, or | |
| remove paths that do not exist in the working tree anymore.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>The "index" holds a snapshot of the content of the working tree, and it | |
| is this snapshot that is taken as the contents of the next commit. Thus | |
| after making any changes to the working directory, and before running | |
| the commit command, you must use the <code>add</code> command to add any new or | |
| modified files to the index.</p></div> | |
| <div class="paragraph"><p>This command can be performed multiple times before a commit. It only | |
| adds the content of the specified file(s) at the time the add command is | |
| run; if you want subsequent changes included in the next commit, then | |
