 <h1>
 git-add(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-add -
  Add file contents to the changeset to be committed next
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p><em>git-add</em> [-n] [-v] [-f] [--interactive | -i] [--] &lt;file&gt;&#8230;</p>
 </div>
 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>All the changed file contents to be committed together in a single set
 of changes must be "added" with the <em>add</em> command before using the
 <em>commit</em> command. This is not only for adding new files. Even modified
 files must be added to the set of changes about to be committed.</p>
 <p>This command can be performed multiple times before a commit. The added
 content corresponds to the state of specified file(s) at the time the
 <em>add</em> command is used. This means the <em>commit</em> command will not consider
 subsequent changes to already added content if it is not added again before
 the commit.</p>
 <p>The <em>git status</em> command can be used to obtain a summary of what is included
 for the next commit.</p>
 <p>This command can be used to add ignored files with <tt>-f</tt> (force)
 option, but they have to be
 explicitly and exactly specified from the command line. File globbing
 and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files.</p>
 <p>Please see <a href="git-commit.html">git-commit(1)</a> for alternative ways to add content to a
 commit.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 &lt;file&gt;&#8230;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Files to add content from. Fileglobs (e.g. <tt>*.c</tt>) can
  be given to add all matching files. Also a
  leading directory name (e.g. <tt>dir</tt> to add <tt>dir/file1</tt>
  and <tt>dir/file2</tt>) can be given to add all files in the
  directory, recursively.
 </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>
 <dt>
 -f
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Allow adding otherwise ignored files.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -i, --interactive
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Add modified contents in the working tree interactively to
  the index.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This option can be used to separate command-line options from
  the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
  for command-line options).
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl>
 </div>
 <h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 git-add Documentation/\*.txt
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Adds content from all <tt>*.txt</tt> files 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>
  Considers adding content from all git-*.sh scripts.
  Because this example lets shell expand the asterisk
  (i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it does not
  consider <tt>subdir/git-foo.sh</tt>.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl>
 </div>
 <h2>Interactive mode</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>When the command enters the interactive mode, it shows the
 output of the <em>status</em> subcommand, and then goes into its
 interactive command loop.</p>
 <p>The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and
 gives a prompt "What now&gt; ". In general, when the prompt ends
 with a single <em>&gt;</em>, you can pick only one of the choices given
 and type return, like this:</p>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt> *** Commands ***
  1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked
  5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help
  What now&gt; 1</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the
 choice is unique.</p>
 <p>The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit).</p>
 <dl>
 <dt>
 status
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what will be
  committed if you say "git commit"), and between index and
  working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further before
  "git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample output
  looks like this:
 </p>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt> staged unstaged path
  1: binary nothing foo.png
  2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is
 binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no
 difference between indexed copy and the working tree
 version (if the working tree version were also different,
 <em>binary</em> would have been shown in place of <em>nothing</em>). The
 other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added
 and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but
 working tree file has further modifications (one addition and
 one deletion).</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 update
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This shows the status information and gives prompt
  "Update&gt;&gt;". When the prompt ends with double <em>&gt;&gt;</em>, you can
  make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or
  comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose
  2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say <em>*</em> to choose
  everything.
 </p>
 <p>What you chose are then highlighted with <em>*</em>,
 like this:</p>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt> staged unstaged path
  1: binary nothing foo.png
 * 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>To remove selection, prefix the input with <tt>-</tt>
 like this:</p>
 <div class="listingblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>Update&gt;&gt; -2</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>After making the selection, answer with an empty line to stage the
 contents of working tree files for selected paths in the index.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 revert
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This has a very similar UI to <em>update</em>, and the staged
  information for selected paths are reverted to that of the
  HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 add untracked
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This has a very similar UI to <em>update</em> and
  <em>revert</em>, and lets you add untracked paths to the index.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 patch
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This lets you choose one path out of <em>status</em> like selection.
  After choosing the path, it presents diff between the index
  and the working tree file and asks you if you want to stage
  the change of each hunk. You can say:
 </p>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>y - add the change from that hunk to index
 n - do not add the change from that hunk to index
 a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index
 d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index
 j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next
  undecided hunk
 J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk
 k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous
  undecided hunk
 K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
 that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.</p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 diff
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  This lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between
  HEAD and index).
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl>

	<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<dl>
	<dt>
	git-add Documentation/\*.txt
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	Adds content from all <tt>*.txt</tt> files 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>
	Considers adding content from all git-*.sh scripts.
	Because this example lets shell expand the asterisk
	(i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it does not
	consider <tt>subdir/git-foo.sh</tt>.
	</p>
	</dd>
	</dl>
	</div>
	<h2>Interactive mode</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<p>When the command enters the interactive mode, it shows the
	output of the <em>status</em> subcommand, and then goes into its
	interactive command loop.</p>
	<p>The command loop shows the list of subcommands available, and
	gives a prompt "What now> ". In general, when the prompt ends
	with a single <em>></em>, you can pick only one of the choices given
	and type return, like this:</p>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt> * Commands *
	1: status 2: update 3: revert 4: add untracked
	5: patch 6: diff 7: quit 8: help
	What now> 1</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<p>You also could say "s" or "sta" or "status" above as long as the
	choice is unique.</p>
	<p>The main command loop has 6 subcommands (plus help and quit).</p>
	<dl>
	<dt>
	status
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what will be
	committed if you say "git commit"), and between index and
	working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further before
	"git commit" using "git-add") for each path. A sample output
	looks like this:
	</p>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt> staged unstaged path
	1: binary nothing foo.png
	2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<p>It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is
	binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no
	difference between indexed copy and the working tree
	version (if the working tree version were also different,
	<em>binary</em> would have been shown in place of <em>nothing</em>). The
	other file, git-add--interactive.perl, has 403 lines added
	and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but
	working tree file has further modifications (one addition and
	one deletion).</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	update
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This shows the status information and gives prompt
	"Update>>". When the prompt ends with double <em>>></em>, you can
	make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or
	comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose
	2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. You can say <em>*</em> to choose
	everything.
	</p>
	<p>What you chose are then highlighted with <em>*</em>,
	like this:</p>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt> staged unstaged path
	1: binary nothing foo.png
	* 2: +403/-35 +1/-1 git-add--interactive.perl</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<p>To remove selection, prefix the input with <tt>-</tt>
	like this:</p>
	<div class="listingblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt>Update>> -2</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<p>After making the selection, answer with an empty line to stage the
	contents of working tree files for selected paths in the index.</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	revert
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This has a very similar UI to <em>update</em>, and the staged
	information for selected paths are reverted to that of the
	HEAD version. Reverting new paths makes them untracked.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	add untracked
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This has a very similar UI to <em>update</em> and
	<em>revert</em>, and lets you add untracked paths to the index.
	</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	patch
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This lets you choose one path out of <em>status</em> like selection.
	After choosing the path, it presents diff between the index
	and the working tree file and asks you if you want to stage
	the change of each hunk. You can say:
	</p>
	<div class="literalblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt>y - add the change from that hunk to index
	n - do not add the change from that hunk to index
	a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index
	d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index
	j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next
	undecided hunk
	J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk
	k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous
	undecided hunk
	K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk</tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<p>After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
	that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.</p>
	</dd>
	<dt>
	diff
	</dt>
	<dd>
	<p>
	This lets you review what will be committed (i.e. between
	HEAD and index).
	</p>
	</dd>
	</dl>
