Re-enabled a folder set as untracked

Hi,

Using SourceTree I issue the Stop Tracking command (I think it executed the add untracked https://git-scm.com/docs/git-add#Documentation/git-add.txt-adduntracked). Is there anyway to revert this command and re-enable the folder? I was able to re-add to the index all files into the folder by the git add -f pathtofolder command, but new files are not asked to be committed and pushed.

Thanks in advance,

I don't use SourceTree. I doubt that your suggested git-add.txt-adduntrackedis the command used, as that is within a command line sub-menu.

I would guess that the command was a variant of https://git-scm.com/docs/git-rm with an option to retain the working tree file.

You ask about re-enabling the tracking of a _folder_ - this is a misunderstanding as git only tracks the named files, rather than complete folders.

To re-track a file, simply use `git add <pathspec>` (see the documentation notes about how the pathspec can add the contents of a complete folder..).
