git add all files recursively

git add all files recursively

http://gitref.org/basic/

It is also common to recursively add all files in a new project by specifying the current working directory like this: git add .. Since Git will recursively add all files under a directory you give it, if you give it the current working directory, it will simply start tracking every file there. In this case, a git add . would have done the same thing as a git add README hello.rb, or for that matter so would git add *, but that's only because we don't have subdirectories which the * would not recurse into
