Add

syntax: git add file/folder

What?

git add adds changes in the working directory to the staging area. It tells Git that you want to include updates to a particular file in the next commit.

How?

suppose you have a project tree looking like this:

├── LICENSE
├── README.md
├── docs
│   ├── Commands
│   │   ├── add.md
│   │   ├── clone.md
│   │   └── pull.md
│   └── index.md
├── mkdocs.yml

You have made changes to the file add.md and want to add it to the staging area. You can do this by running:

git add docs/Commands/add.md

To add all changes in the folder Commands you can run:

git add docs/Commands
