How do I stage all files at once in Git Gui?
Question
I have just created a GIT on a folder. I now want to add the contents of that folder by "staging" all the files. In the GUI, is there a way to select all the files. I have well over 4000 files and clicking one at a time is proving to be a bit of a pain.
Solution
Yes,
Select the items (select top one hit shift, select bottom one) and hit CTRL T
Or go to commit -> stage to commit
OTHER TIPS
Quite late, but one method is to add an option in the 'Tools' menu.
- Click 'Tools'>Add...
- Name it whatever you want (I chose 'add all')
- In the 'Command' field, type
git add *
- Optionally check the boxes to remove a dialog window, output window, and global configuration.
- Click the
Add
button in the bottom right.
Now, click Tools>Add all and all changes will be staged. Hope this helps!
git add *
or just
git commit -a -m "your message"
Don't mess around with the GUI.
