Adding Changes to Staging (git add)

The 'git add' command is used to add changes in your working directory to the staging area.

Usage

To add files to staging:

git add [file]
# or to stage all changes
git add .

Explanation: Replace [file] with the specific file name or use '.' to stage all changes in the current directory.

Key Takeaways

  • 'git add' prepares changes for a commit by moving them to the staging area.
  • You can stage individual files or all changes at once.
