I\nassume you can classify \"the rest 10\" because there's no way to\nexpress \"Adding all except the rest 10\".\n-- \nDuy\n"},{"id":"242707","messageId":"CACsJy8B7TeeT-xOoZyPc6_LLEL-ugdgzbKf3FYci28f9eGrpvA@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"36755","inReplyTo":"CALZVapnUgEnw6rv630awF7AjnfhRzzK8H5wP6jTLN6XZGVJDEQ@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Can we stage all files using \"git add\" command, except some specific files ?","fromName":"Duy Nguyen","fromEmail":"pclouds@gmail.com","sentAt":"2014-05-26T22:24:56Z","receivedAt":"2014-05-26T22:24:56Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"pclouds@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/720?v=4"},"body":"On Tue, May 27, 2014 at 5:06 AM, Javier Domingo Cansino\n wrote:\n> If you don't want an specific file, but you neither the .gitignore,\n> just use .git/info/exclude file for project specific or\n> $HOME/.config/git/ignore for user level.\n\nThis is actually better. 'git add' does not allow to specify exclude\npatterns in command line (more convenient then editing .gitignore)\nlike ls-files.

That I know, but I show that in my post, just as an example. Here \nquestion was other files, not _.gitignore_. Anyway, I understand now, that I am \nlooking for is not available in Git. The way, I was doing, is the only way to \ndo it.\n\nThanks for your reply.\n\n-- \n===============\nRegards,\nArup Rakshit\n"}]}
