git-stage: Add all files (tracked and untracked).

$ git stage -A

try on your machine

The command git stage -A is used to stage all the changes in your working directory for the next commit.

In Git, staging refers to the process of preparing files to be included in the next commit. When you make changes to files in your working directory, Git allows you to choose which changes to include in the next commit. This allows you to separate unrelated changes and commit them separately.

The -A flag in the command stands for "all" and is used to include all changes in the staging area. This means that all changes, including modifications, deletions, and new files, will be included in the staging area for the next commit.

By running git stage -A, you are readying all the changes in your working directory to be committed. After staging, you can make a commit using the git commit command to permanently save the changes.
