12 Watches for changes to files in the current directory and its subdirec‐
13 tories, and takes care of automatically adding new files, as well as
14 dealing with deleted, copied, and moved files. With this running as a
15 daemon in the background, you no longer need to manually run git com‐
16 mands when manipulating your files.

24 that it does not match will instead be added with git add.
