git_stage: Stage changes for the next commit.
In jennybc/githug: Interface to local and remote Git operations

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Stage changes to files in preparation for a commit. In an interactive session, you'll get the chance to "just stage everything: Y/N?", if you haven't pre-staged or specified any paths. To pre-authorize the staging of all current file additions, deletions, and modifications, use git_stage(all = TRUE).

git_stage(..., all = FALSE, force = FALSE, repo = ".")

git_add(..., all = FALSE, force = FALSE, repo = ".")

`...`	One or more paths or shell glob patterns that will be matched against files in the repo's working directory. Paths that match will be added to the set of changes staged for the next commit.
`all`	Logical, consulted if no paths are given. If `TRUE`, pre-authorizes the staging of all new files, file deletions, and file modifications. Emulates `git add -A`, which is equivalent to `git add .; git add -u`.
`force`	Logical, defaults to `FALSE`. Value `TRUE` is required if any of the to-be-staged paths are currently ignored.
`repo`	Path to a Git repo. If unspecified, current working directory is checked to see if it is or is inside a Git repo.

git_add() and git_stage() are aliases for each other, so use what feels most natural, i.e. "add" a file to the repo and "stage" modifications. These are convenience wrappers around git2r::add().
