# Otherwise, stage what you wish to include beforehand and/or pass an argument
# here for git add.
#
# Examples:
# deploy-working #=> Stages everything (git add .) and deploys
#
# git add foo.txt
# git add bar.jpg
# deploy-working #=> foo.txt and bar.jpg are already staged, deploys them
#
# deploy-working foo.txt #=> foo.txt gets staged (git add foo.txt), deploys
