DESCRIPTION
-----------
specifying `dir` will record not just a file `dir/file1`
modified in the working tree, a file `dir/file2` added to
the working tree, but also a file `dir/file3` removed from
- the working tree. Note that older versions of Git used
+ the working tree). Note that older versions of Git used
to ignore removed files; use `--no-all` option if you want
- to add modified or new files but ignore removed ones.
+ to add modified or new files but ignore removed ones.
+
For more details about the <pathspec> syntax, see the 'pathspec' entry
in linkgit:gitglossary[7].
--no-ignore-removal::
Update the index not only where the working tree has a file
matching <pathspec> but also where the index already has an
- entry. This adds, modifies, and removes index entries to
+ entry. This adds, modifies, and removes index entries to
match the working tree.
+
If no <pathspec> is given when `-A` option is used, all
warning (e.g., if you are manually performing operations on
submodules).
+--renormalize::
+ Apply the "clean" process freshly to all tracked files to
+ forcibly add them again to the index. This is useful after
+ changing `core.autocrlf` configuration or the `text` attribute
+ in order to correct files added with wrong CRLF/LF line endings.
+ This option implies `-u`.
+
--chmod=(+|-)x::
Override the executable bit of the added files. The executable
bit is only changed in the index, the files on disk are left
unchanged.
+--pathspec-from-file=<file>::
+ Pathspec is passed in `<file>` instead of commandline args. If
+ `<file>` is exactly `-` 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 `core.quotePath`
+ (see linkgit:git-config[1]). See also `--pathspec-file-nul` and
+ global `--literal-pathspecs`.
+
+--pathspec-file-nul::
+ Only meaningful with `--pathspec-from-file`. Pathspec elements are
+ separated with NUL character and all other characters are taken
+ literally (including newlines and quotes).
+
\--::
This option can be used to separate command-line options from
the list of files, (useful when filenames might be mistaken
for command-line options).
-Configuration
--------------
-
-The optional configuration variable `core.excludesFile` indicates a path to a
-file containing patterns of file names to exclude from git-add, similar to
-$GIT_DIR/info/exclude. Patterns in the exclude file are used in addition to
-those in info/exclude. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
