30 | DISCUSSION |
| 31 | ---------- | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | The list of <file> given to the command is fed to `git-ls-files` | |
| 89438677 | 34 | command to list files that are not registered in the index and |
| 810bf1f9 JH |
35 | are not ignored/excluded by `$GIT_DIR/info/exclude` file or |
| 36 | `.gitignore` file in each directory. This means two things: | |
| 37 | ||
| 38 | . You can put the name of a directory on the command line, and | |
| 39 | the command will add all files in it and its subdirectories; | |
| 40 | ||
| 41 | . Giving the name of a file that is already in index does not | |
| 42 | run `git-update-index` on that path. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | ||
| 45 | EXAMPLES | |
| 46 | -------- | |
| 47 | git-add Documentation/\\*.txt:: | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | Adds all `\*.txt` files that are not in the index under | |
| 50 | `Documentation` directory and its subdirectories. | |
| 51 | + | |
| 52 | Note that the asterisk `\*` is quoted from the shell in this | |
| 53 | example; this lets the command to include the files from | |
| 54 | subdirectories of `Documentation/` directory. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | git-add git-*.sh:: | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | Adds all git-*.sh scripts that are not in the index. | |
| 59 | Because this example lets shell expand the asterisk | |
| 60 | (i.e. you are listing the files explicitly), it does not | |
| 61 | add `subdir/git-foo.sh` to the index. | |
