Notice how you don’t have to run git add on the benchmarks.rb file in this case before you commit.
I think how should be changed to now

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: "Notice how..." is the line Jialin suggest to be changed.
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.
