Adding a file to staging area
I just created a new file:
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
# (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
# (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
# modified: pages/git.md
#
# Untracked files:
# (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
# pages/git/add-file-to-staging.md
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")What should I do?
$ git add .
$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
# (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
# modified: pages/git.md
# new file: pages/git/add-file-to-staging.md
#And then you can commit.
But, if your files are already tracked, you can do one command to use both ‘git add .’ and ‘git commit -m <message>’
$ git commit -am "Adding file to staging"
