6 cg-add - add new files to the repository
7
9 cg-add [-a] [-N] [-r] FILE...
10
11
13 Takes a list of file names at the command line, and schedules them for
14 addition to the GIT repository at the next commit. Those files are
15 denoted by A in the cg-status(1) list. You can add cg-rm(1)oved files
16 to undo the removal (use cg-restore(1) if the file is already deleted
17 from the working copy as well); you can undo additions in an analogous
18 way using cg-rm(1).
19
20 The command will fail if one of the given files does not exist.
21
22 Note that directories never have to be added to the repository, and are
23 not tracked on their own. That means, you cannot currently add an empty
24 directory to Cogito. The reason for this is that Cogito manages content
25 and empty directories have no content. Directories are added
26 automatically when adding files inside them, or you can add all files
27 in a directory using cg-add -r.
28
29
31 -a Add all files in the repository that are currently untracked.
32 Useful when there were some random files added/removed (e.g. by
33 some third-party application) and you want to get the repository
34 in sync: just use cg-rm -a && cg-add -a. Note that contrary to
35 cg-add -r ., this will not re-add cg-rm(1)oved files.
36
37 -N Only update the cache: do not copy the data into the object
38 database. This is for special purposes when you might not
39 actually _have_ any object database. This option is normally not
40 interesting.
41
42 -r If you pass cg-add this flag and any directory names, it will
43 try to add files in those directories recursively (with regard
44 to your ignore rules - see cg-status(1) for a more detailed
45 description of those). See also above for more notes about
46 cg-add vs. directories.
47
48 -h, --help
49 Print usage summary.
50
51 --long-help
52 Print user manual. The same as found in cg-add(1).
