DESCRIPTION
-----------
The 'git add' command will not add ignored files by default. If any
ignored files were explicitly specified on the command line, 'git add'
will fail with a list of ignored files. Ignored files reached by
-directory recursion or filename globbing will be silently ignored.
-The 'add' command can be used to add ignored files with the `-f`
-(force) option.
+directory recursion or filename globbing performed by Git (quote your
+globs before the shell) will be silently ignored. The 'add' command can
+be used to add ignored files with the `-f` (force) option.

OPTIONS
-------
-<file>...::
+<filepattern>...::
Files to add content from. Fileglobs (e.g. `*.c`) can
be given to add all matching files. Also a
leading directory name (e.g. `dir` to add `dir/file1`
and `dir/file2`) can be given to add all files in the
directory, recursively.
--n::
+-n, \--dry-run::
Don't actually add the file(s), just show if they exist.
--v::
+-v, \--verbose::
Be verbose.
-f::
-i, \--interactive::
Add modified contents in the working tree interactively to
- the index.
+ the index. Optional path arguments may be supplied to limit
+ operation to a subset of the working tree. See ``Interactive
+ mode'' for details.
+
+-p, \--patch::
+ Similar to Interactive mode but the initial command loop is
+ bypassed and the 'patch' subcommand is invoked using each of
+ the specified filepatterns before exiting.
-u::
Update only files that git already knows about. This is similar
to what "git commit -a" does in preparation for making a commit,
except that the update is limited to paths specified on the
- command line. If no paths are specified, all tracked files are
- updated.

+ current directory and its subdirectories are updated.
\--refresh::
Don't add the file(s), but only refresh their stat()
and the working tree file and asks you if you want to stage
the change of each hunk. You can say:
- y - add the change from that hunk to index
- n - do not add the change from that hunk to index
- a - add the change from that hunk and all the rest to index
- d - do not the change from that hunk nor any of the rest to index
- j - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next
- undecided hunk
- J - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the next hunk
- k - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous
- undecided hunk
- K - do not decide on this hunk now, and view the previous hunk
+ y - stage this hunk
+ n - do not stage this hunk
+ a - stage this and all the remaining hunks in the file
+ d - do not stage this hunk nor any of the remaining hunks in the file
+ j - leave this hunk undecided, see next undecided hunk
+ J - leave this hunk undecided, see next hunk
+ k - leave this hunk undecided, see previous undecided hunk
+ K - leave this hunk undecided, see previous hunk
+ s - split the current hunk into smaller hunks
+ ? - print help
+
After deciding the fate for all hunks, if there is any hunk
that was chosen, the index is updated with the selected hunks.
