git-stage: Only add already tracked files.

$ git stage -u

try on your machine

The command "git stage -u" is not a valid command in Git.

However, there are a couple of similar commands that you might be referring to:

git add -u: This command updates the index (staging area) with any modifications made on existing tracked files. It does not add new files to the index. The -u option stands for "update".
git stash save --keep-index: This command creates a new stash while keeping the changes added to the index (staging area). The --keep-index option ensures that the state of the staged changes is preserved in the stash.

It's worth noting that the specific behavior and available options of Git commands can vary depending on the Git version and configuration. It's always a good practice to consult the Git documentation or use the "git --help" command for more accurate and up-to-date information.
