dolt-add: Add a table to the list of staged tables (stage a table).
$ dolt add ${table}
try on your machine

The command "dolt add ${table}" is used in Dolt, a version-controlled database system, to add changes from a table to the staging area.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dolt": This is the command-line interface (CLI) for Dolt.
  • "add": This is the specific command used to add changes to the staging area.
  • "${table}": This is a placeholder for the table name. You need to replace "${table}" with the actual name of the table you want to add changes from.

When you run this command, Dolt identifies the changes made to the specified table (e.g., inserts, updates, or deletes) since the last commit and adds them to the staging area. The staging area is where you prepare your changes before committing them to the version history of the database.

This command is typically used in conjunction with other Dolt commands, such as "dolt commit", which permanently saves the changes from the staging area to the version history.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
