22 git-add \- Add files to the index file.
26 \fIgit\-add\fR [\-n] [\-v] [\-\-] <file>...
31 A simple wrapper for git\-update\-index to add files to the index, for people used to do "cvs add"\&.
37 Files to add to the index\&.
41 Don't actually add the file(s), just show if they exist\&.
49 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)\&.
54 The list of <file> given to the command is fed to git\-ls\-files command to list files that are not registered in the index and are not ignored/excluded by $GIT_DIR/info/exclude file or \&.gitignore file in each directory\&. This means two things:
58 You can put the name of a directory on the command line, and the command will add all files in it and its subdirectories;
61 Giving the name of a file that is already in index does not run git\-update\-index on that path\&.
67 git\-add Documentation/\\*\&.txt
68 Adds all *\&.txt files that are not in the index under Documentation directory and its subdirectories\&.
70 Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in this example; this lets the command to include the files from subdirectories of Documentation/ directory\&.
74 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 subdir/git\-foo\&.sh to the index\&.
