git-add(1) Manual Page

<h2>NAME</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>git-add -
Add files to the index file.
</p>
</div>
</div>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p><em>git-add</em> [-n] [-v] &lt;file&gt;&#8230;</p>
</div>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>A simple wrapper for git-update-index to add files to the index,
for people used to do "cvs add".</p>
</div>
<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<dl>
<dt>
&lt;file&gt;&#8230;
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Files to add to the index.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
-n
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Don't actually add the file(s), just show if they exist.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>
-v
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Be verbose.
</p>
</dd>
</dl>
</div>
<h2>DISCUSSION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<p>The list of &lt;file&gt; given to the command is fed to <tt>git-ls-files</tt>
command to list files that are not registered in the index and
are not ignored/excluded by <tt>$GIT_DIR/info/exclude</tt> file or
<tt>.gitignore</tt> file in each directory. This means two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>
You can put the name of a directory on the command line, and
the command will add all files in it and its subdirectories;
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Giving the name of a file that is already in index does not
run <tt>git-update-index</tt> on that path.
</p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<dl>
<dt>
git-add Documentation/\*.txt
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Adds all <tt>*.txt</tt> files that are not in the index under
<tt>Documentation</tt> directory and its subdirectories.
</p>
<p>Note that the asterisk <tt>*</tt> is quoted from the shell in this
example; this lets the command to include the files from
subdirectories of <tt>Documentation/</tt> directory.</p>
</dd>
<dt>
git-add git-*.sh
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Adds all git-*.sh scripts that are not in the index.
Because this example lets shell expand the asterisk
(i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it does not
add <tt>subdir/git-foo.sh</tt> to the index.
</p>
