DESCRIPTION
-----------
All the changed file contents to be committed together in a single set
of changes must be "added" with the 'add' command before using the
'commit' command. This is not only for adding new files. Even modified
files must be added to the set of changes about to be committed.
This command adds the current content of new or modified files to the
index, thus staging that content for inclusion in the next commit.
This command can be performed multiple times before a commit. The added
content corresponds to the state of specified file(s) at the time the
'add' command is used. This means the 'commit' command will not consider
subsequent changes to already added content if it is not added again before
the commit.
The "index" holds a snapshot of the content of the working tree, and it
is this snapshot that is taken as the contents of the next commit. Thus
after making any changes to the working directory, and before running
the commit command, you must use the 'add' command to add any new or
modified files to the index.
The 'git status' command can be used to obtain a summary of what is included
for the next commit.
This command can be performed multiple times before a commit. It only
adds the content of the specified file(s) at the time the add command is
run; if you want subsequent changes included in the next commit, then
you must run 'git add' again to add the new content to the index.
This command can be used to add ignored files with `-f` (force)
option, but they have to be
explicitly and exactly specified from the command line. File globbing
and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files.
The 'git status' command can be used to obtain a summary of which
files have changes that are staged for the next commit.
