| 7bd7f280 | 6 | git-add - Add files to the index file |
| 7fc9d69f JH |

| 8 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 9 | -------- | |
| 60ace879 | 10 | 'git-add' [-n] [-v] [--] <file>... |
| 7fc9d69f JH |

| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 810bf1f9 JH |
14 | A simple wrapper for git-update-index to add files to the index, |
| 15 | for people used to do "cvs add". | |
| 16 | ||
| 845ae27b SB |
17 | It only adds non-ignored files, to add ignored files use |
| 18 | "git update-index --add". | |

| 20 | OPTIONS | |
| 21 | ------- | |
| 905197de | 22 | <file>...:: |
| 845ae27b | 23 | Files to add to the index (see gitlink:git-ls-files[1]). |
| 7fc9d69f | 24 | |
| 918db541 CS |
25 | -n:: |
| 26 | Don't actually add the file(s), just show if they exist. | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | -v:: | |
| 29 | Be verbose. | |

32 | This option can be used to separate command-line options from |
| 33 | the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken | |
| 34 | for command-line options). | |

37 | DISCUSSION |
| 38 | ---------- | |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | The list of <file> given to the command is fed to `git-ls-files` | |
| 89438677 | 41 | command to list files that are not registered in the index and |
| 810bf1f9 JH |
42 | are not ignored/excluded by `$GIT_DIR/info/exclude` file or |
| 43 | `.gitignore` file in each directory. This means two things: | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | . You can put the name of a directory on the command line, and | |
| 46 | the command will add all files in it and its subdirectories; | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | . Giving the name of a file that is already in index does not | |
| 49 | run `git-update-index` on that path. | |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | ||
| 52 | EXAMPLES | |
| 53 | -------- | |
| 54 | git-add Documentation/\\*.txt:: | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | Adds all `\*.txt` files that are not in the index under | |
| 57 | `Documentation` directory and its subdirectories. | |
| 58 | + | |
| 59 | Note that the asterisk `\*` is quoted from the shell in this | |
| 60 | example; this lets the command to include the files from | |
| 61 | subdirectories of `Documentation/` directory. | |
| 62 | ||
| 63 | git-add git-*.sh:: | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | Adds all git-*.sh scripts that are not in the index. | |
| 66 | Because this example lets shell expand the asterisk | |
| 67 | (i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it does not | |
| 68 | add `subdir/git-foo.sh` to the index. | |
