In which case? (the page is rather long) I didn't see a case where "git add" was not needed (or "git commit" used with "-a", which gives the same effect). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Jialin: "how" is correct; "how" starts a subsentence (subclause) which is used as the object for the verb "notice". ("Notice [that] now..." would be correct, too.) BTW: This is not in what many would call "git documentation" (i.e. git.git/Documentation/). It's in the Git book. But git-scm calls the the former "reference" and puts both under "Documentation". This is not about the question "who's the Git community". It's simply (im)practical: You contribute to the Git book via pull requests on GitHub and to "git documentation within the git project" by patches on this list.
