git add
. is a Git command used to stage all changes made to a working directory, before committing them.
Here is an example:
Suppose you made changes to two files named file1.txt
and file2.txt
. You want to include both changes in your next commit.
To do so, first navigate to the project directory in the terminal and execute:
git add .
This command stages all of the changes made in repository. You can now review the changes staged by executing:
git status
You should see that file1.txt
and file2.txt
have been staged.
Now you can commit the staged changes by running:
git commit -m "Added new feature to file1.txt"
The commit will include all changes.
