Subject: "git commit -a" Doesn't Add New Files. Why?
Date: Tue, 27 May 2025 09:03:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1014npb$rbl$1@ciao.gmane.io> (raw)
The documentation clearly says that running "git commit -a"
doesn't add new files to the index. I wonder why that choice
was made.
Would the addition of "git commit -A" (note the capital letter)
that works the same as "git commit -a", except that new files
are also added be something you'd consider?
Cordially,
Jon Forrest
