Hello list,

if i'm in a git repo and change a file, it is listed in git status. But
i have to add this file manually and commit them.

Is it possible to autoadd such files?

Greetings
Sascha

$ git commit -a

From the git commit help:  by using the -a switch with the commit command to automatically
"add" changes from all known files (i.e. all files that are already
listed in the index) and to automatically "rm" files in the index
that have been removed from the working tree, and then perform the
actual commit;

Cheers,
Randall
