<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>This command updates the index using the current content found in
the working tree, to prepare the content staged for the next commit.
It typically adds the current content of existing paths as a whole,
but with some options it can also be used to add content with
only part of the changes made to the working tree files applied, or
remove paths that do not exist in the working tree anymore.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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 tree, and before running
the commit command, you must use the <code>add</code> command to add any new or
modified files to the index.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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 <code>git add</code> again to add the new content to the index.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>git status</code> command can be used to obtain a summary of which
files have changes that are staged for the next commit.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The <code>git add</code> command will not add ignored files by default. If any
ignored files were explicitly specified on the command line, <code>git add</code>
will fail with a list of ignored files. Ignored files reached by
directory recursion or filename globbing performed by Git (quote your
globs before the shell) will be silently ignored. The <em>git add</em> command can
be used to add ignored files with the <code>-f</code> (force) option.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Please see <a href="git-commit.html">git-commit(1)</a> for alternative ways to add content to a
commit.</p></div>
</div>

<p>
Files to add content from. Fileglobs (e.g. <code>*.c</code>) can
be given to add all matching files. Also a
leading directory name (e.g. <code>dir</code> to add <code>dir/file1</code>
and <code>dir/file2</code>) can be given to update the index to
match the current state of the directory as a whole (e.g.
specifying <code>dir</code> will record not just a file <code>dir/file1</code>
modified in the working tree, a file <code>dir/file2</code> added to
the working tree, but also a file <code>dir/file3</code> removed from
the working tree). Note that older versions of Git used
to ignore removed files; use <code>--no-all</code> option if you want
to add modified or new files but ignore removed ones.

<dt class="hdlist1">
-v

<dt class="hdlist1">

<dd>
<p>
Allow adding otherwise ignored files.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--sparse
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Allow updating index entries outside of the sparse-checkout cone.
Normally, <code>git add</code> refuses to update index entries whose paths do
not fit within the sparse-checkout cone, since those files might
be removed from the working tree without warning. See
<a href="git-sparse-checkout.html">git-sparse-checkout(1)</a> for more details.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-i
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--interactive
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Add modified contents in the working tree interactively to
the index. Optional path arguments may be supplied to limit
operation to a subset of the working tree. See “Interactive
mode” for details.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-p
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--patch
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Interactively choose hunks of patch between the index and the
work tree and add them to the index. This gives the user a chance
to review the difference before adding modified contents to the

<p>
Open the diff vs. the index in an editor and let the user
edit it. After the editor was closed, adjust the hunk headers
and apply the patch to the index.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The intent of this option is to pick and choose lines of the patch to
apply, or even to modify the contents of lines to be staged. This can be
quicker and more flexible than using the interactive hunk selector.
However, it is easy to confuse oneself and create a patch that does not
apply to the index. See EDITING PATCHES below.</p></div>

<dt class="hdlist1">
--update

<dd>
<p>
Update the index just where it already has an entry matching
<em><pathspec></em>. This removes as well as modifies index entries to
match the working tree, but adds no new files.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If no <em><pathspec></em> is given when <code>-u</code> option is used, all

<p>
Update the index not only where the working tree has a file
matching <em><pathspec></em> but also where the index already has an
entry. This adds, modifies, and removes index entries to
match the working tree.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>If no <em><pathspec></em> is given when <code>-A</code> option is used, all

<dt class="hdlist1">
--no-all

<dt class="hdlist1">
--ignore-removal
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Update the index by adding new files that are unknown to the
index and files modified in the working tree, but ignore
files that have been removed from the working tree. This
option is a no-op when no <em><pathspec></em> is used.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>This option is primarily to help users who are used to older
versions of Git, whose "git add <em><pathspec></em>…" was a synonym
for "git add --no-all <em><pathspec></em>…", i.e. ignored removed files.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-N

<dt class="hdlist1">
--intent-to-add
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Record only the fact that the path will be added later. An entry
for the path is placed in the index with no content. This is
useful for, among other things, showing the unstaged content of
such files with <code>git diff</code> and committing them with <code>git commit
-a</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--refresh

<p>
Don’t add the file(s), but only refresh their stat()
information in the index.

</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--ignore-errors
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
If some files could not be added because of errors indexing
them, do not abort the operation, but continue adding the
others. The command shall still exit with non-zero status.
The configuration variable <code>add.ignoreErrors</code> can be set to
true to make this the default behaviour.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--ignore-missing
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
This option can only be used together with --dry-run. By using
this option the user can check if any of the given files would
be ignored, no matter if they are already present in the work
tree or not.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--no-warn-embedded-repo
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
By default, <code>git add</code> will warn when adding an embedded
repository to the index without using <code>git submodule add</code> to
create an entry in <code>.gitmodules</code>. This option will suppress the
warning (e.g., if you are manually performing operations on
submodules).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--renormalize
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Apply the "clean" process freshly to all tracked files to
forcibly add them again to the index. This is useful after
changing <code>core.autocrlf</code> configuration or the <code>text</code> attribute
in order to correct files added with wrong CRLF/LF line endings.
This option implies <code>-u</code>. Lone CR characters are untouched, thus
while a CRLF cleans to LF, a CRCRLF sequence is only partially
cleaned to CRLF.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--chmod=(+|-)x
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Override the executable bit of the added files. The executable
bit is only changed in the index, the files on disk are left
unchanged.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--pathspec-from-file=<file>
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Pathspec is passed in <em><file></em> instead of commandline args. If
<em><file></em> is exactly <code>-</code> then standard input is used. Pathspec
elements are separated by LF or CR/LF. Pathspec elements can be
quoted as explained for the configuration variable <code>core.quotePath</code>
(see <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>). See also <code>--pathspec-file-nul</code> and
global <code>--literal-pathspecs</code>.
</p>

<dt class="hdlist1">
--pathspec-file-nul
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Only meaningful with <code>--pathspec-from-file</code>. Pathspec elements are
separated with NUL character and all other characters are taken
literally (including newlines and quotes).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--

This option can be used to separate command-line options from
the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken

This shows the change between HEAD and index (i.e. what will be
committed if you say <code>git commit</code>), and between index and
working tree files (i.e. what you could stage further before
<code>git commit</code> using <code>git add</code>) for each path. A sample output
looks like this:

<div class="listingblock">
<div class="content">
<pre><code> staged unstaged path

<div class="paragraph"><p>It shows that foo.png has differences from HEAD (but that is
binary so line count cannot be shown) and there is no
difference between indexed copy and the working tree
version (if the working tree version were also different,
<em>binary</em> would have been shown in place of <em>nothing</em>). The
other file, add-interactive.c, has 403 lines added
and 35 lines deleted if you commit what is in the index, but
working tree file has further modifications (one addition and
one deletion).</p></div>

make more than one selection, concatenated with whitespace or
comma. Also you can say ranges. E.g. "2-5 7,9" to choose
2,3,4,5,7,9 from the list. If the second number in a range is
omitted, all remaining patches are taken. E.g. "7-" to choose
7,8,9 from the list. You can say <em>*</em> to choose everything.

<p>
This has a very similar UI to <em>update</em>, and the staged

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>Invoking <code>git add -e</code> or selecting <code>e</code> from the interactive hunk
selector will open a patch in your editor; after the editor exits, the
result is applied to the index. You are free to make arbitrary changes
to the patch, but note that some changes may have confusing results, or
even result in a patch that cannot be applied. If you want to abort the
operation entirely (i.e., stage nothing new in the index), simply delete
all lines of the patch. The list below describes some common things you
may see in a patch, and which editing operations make sense on them.</p></div>
<div class="openblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
added content
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Added content is represented by lines beginning with "+". You can
prevent staging any addition lines by deleting them.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
removed content
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Removed content is represented by lines beginning with "-". You can
prevent staging their removal by converting the "-" to a " " (space).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
modified content
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Modified content is represented by "-" lines (removing the old content)
followed by "+" lines (adding the replacement content). You can
prevent staging the modification by converting "-" lines to " ", and
removing "+" lines. Beware that modifying only half of the pair is
likely to introduce confusing changes to the index.
</p>
</dd>
</dl></div>
</div></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>There are also more complex operations that can be performed. But beware
that because the patch is applied only to the index and not the working
tree, the working tree will appear to "undo" the change in the index.
For example, introducing a new line into the index that is in neither
the HEAD nor the working tree will stage the new line for commit, but
the line will appear to be reverted in the working tree.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>Avoid using these constructs, or do so with extreme caution.</p></div>
<div class="openblock">
<div class="content">
<div class="dlist"><dl>
<dt class="hdlist1">
removing untouched content
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Content which does not differ between the index and working tree may be
shown on context lines, beginning with a " " (space). You can stage
context lines for removal by converting the space to a "-". The
resulting working tree file will appear to re-add the content.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
modifying existing content
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
One can also modify context lines by staging them for removal (by
converting " " to "-") and adding a "+" line with the new content.
Similarly, one can modify "+" lines for existing additions or
modifications. In all cases, the new modification will appear reverted
in the working tree.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
new content

You may also add new content that does not exist in the patch; simply
add new lines, each starting with "+". The addition will appear
reverted in the working tree.
