git-stage: Also add ignored files.

$ git stage -f

try on your machine

I'm sorry, but the command "git stage -f" does not exist in the Git command line interface. The correct command for staging changes in Git is "git add" followed by the file or files you want to stage.

The "git add" command adds changes in the working directory to the staging area, so that they can be included in the next commit. By default, it simply stages modifications and new files, while ignoring deletions. However, you can use different options with "git add" to modify its behavior.

For example, using "git add -f" or "git add --force" allows you to forcibly add ignored files or files listed in the gitignore file. This can be helpful when you want to add certain files that are typically ignored, such as configuration files or build artifacts.

In summary, "git stage -f" is not a valid Git command, but "git add -f" or "git add --force" can be used to forcefully stage ignored files.

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.
