How I wish I could selectively stage files with git...

gistfile1.txt

↪ git status

# On branch sample
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#  [1] modified:   this/or/that/file.css
#  [2] modified:   this/or/that/file.py
#  [3] modified:   some/unrelated/thing.js
#
# Untracked files:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
#
#	[4] another/new/file.py
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

↪ git add -s 1,2,4
