From: Junio C Hamano git-add [-n] [-v] [--interactive] [--] <file>… git-add [-n] [-v] [-f] [--interactive] [--] <file>… The git status command can be used to obtain a summary of what is included
for the next commit. This command only adds non-ignored files, to add ignored files use
-"git update-index --add". This command can be used to add ignored files with -f (force)
+option, but they have to be
+explicitly and exactly specified from the command line. File globbing
+and recursive behaviour do not add ignored files. Please see git-commit(1) for alternative ways to add content to a
commit.SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
- Files to add content from. + 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.
+ Allow adding otherwise ignored files. +
