git-touch: Create new files and add them to the index.
$ git touch ${filename1 filename2 ---}
try on your machine

The command git touch ${filename1 filename2 ---} is not a valid Git command. Git does not have a touch command. The touch command in Unix-like systems is used to update the access and modification timestamps of a file, but it is not a part of Git. If you are trying to add or update files in Git, you can use the following commands: To add one or more files to the Git staging area:

git add filename1 filename2
``` To add all modified files to the staging area:

git add -A `` To update the modification timestamp of a file without making any changes to its content, you can use thetouch` command separately from Git. For example:


touch filename1
``` Remember to replace `filename1` and `filename2` with the actual names of the files you want to add or modify.
