You can use git add --update
or git add -u
in short to stage all changes that are displayed in the “Changed but not updated” section in git status
.
Using this option on git add
will not stage untracked files, so it’s safe to use even when you have lots of other changes (unlike git add -A
).
This is especially helpful for situations like yours where you have lots of removed files. If you have some changes you do not want to stage, you can afterwards use git reset <path>
to unstage the change (without undoing that change of course).
