git-add: Add a file to the index.
$ git add ${filename}
try on your machine
The command git add ${filename}
is used to add changes made to a specific file to the staging area in Git. Here's a breakdown of the command:
git add
: This is the basic Git command used to add files or changes to the staging area.${filename}
: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the file you want to add. For example, if you want to add a file called "app.js", the command would begit add app.js
.
When you run this command, Git will add the specified file to the staging area, which means that the changes in that file will be included in the next commit. The staging area acts as a buffer between the working directory (where you make changes) and the repository (where your committed changes are stored).
By using the git add
command, you can selectively choose which files or changes to include in your commits, giving you more control over the versioning of your project.
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.
