How Often Should I Use ‘git add’ Before Committing Changes?

Definitely every time! After adding, I usually run 'git diff --cached' to see which files I've staged before committing. It helps double-check what’s about to be included.

Always! My usual workflow is: first, I check with 'git status', then use 'git add .' to stage, check status again to confirm, and finally commit with a message. Just remember, the first time you add files they get tracked, but you need to stage any changes for each commit.

Exactly, it’s necessary to stage each time you want to commit. But instead of using 'git add .', you might want to try 'git commit -a' to automatically stage everything before the commit, just a tip!

Yes, you need to run 'git add' every time you want to include changes in a commit. It's like adding items to a shopping cart – you need to add them before you can check out. If you want a quicker way, you can use 'git add .' to stage all modified files at once.
