Different shell command to mass add files to your git commit

git_mass_file_commands.sh

# This is the base of the commands below. This adds all files appearing in git status:
git status -s |grep -E "^.[^D] " |sed "s/^.. //" |xargs git add
git status -s |grep -E "^.D " |sed "s/^.. //" |xargs git rm | wc -l
# For a simple add all (no deletions) you probably want to use this
# (add all files * and all dot files .[!.]*, asterix won't match dot files):
git add * .[!.]*

# These commands rely on the short GIT status output "git status -s"
# Short status line syntax is "XY myfile"
# X (first char) displays the status for a file in the staging area
# Y (second char) displays the status for a file in the working directory

# Add all but untracked files
git status -s |grep -E "^[^\?][^D] " |sed "s/^.. //" |xargs git add
git status -s |grep -E "^[^\?]D " |sed "s/^.. //" |xargs git rm | wc -l

# Unstage all staged files
git status -s |grep -E "^[^ ]. " |sed "s/^.. //" |xargs git reset HEAD

# There's more to come ...
