No edit option when "git add --patch" a new file

Yuchen Ying· Sep 8, 2020, 16:16 UTC · lore

Hi list,

I was attempting to "add --patch" a newly created file but the "edit" option is not provided.

Steps to reproduce this problem:

$ echo "test\ntest" > test $ git add -N test $ git add -p test

Expected: e is an option
Got:

$ git add -p

diff --git a/terraform/test b/terraform/test
index 0000000..992533b
--- /dev/null
+++ b/terraform/test
new file mode 100644
@@ -0,0 +1,2 @@
+asdf
+asdf
(1/1) Stage addition [y,n,q,a,d,?]? e
Sorry, cannot edit this hunk
