Managing Files - Git Recipes - page 146

• The git add --update command will stage all modified files (it in-
cludes modified and deleted files but excludes new ones).
• The git add --all stages all files (includes new, modified, and de-
leted files).
Depending on your needs you can stage all files with $ git add -A or tailor re-
visions as you wish.
Finally you can create the revision using the $ git commit command. If you use
the $ git commit command without -a flag only the files manually added to the
staging area will be affected. The operations performed by the $ git add , $ git
rm , and $ git mv commands are shown in Figure 4-11 .
