Git - Add all new files in the repo

I'm trying to automate an update process. The process is basically:

  1. Check out repo A
  2. Check out repo B
  3. Run a process in repo B that updates/creates a bunch of files
  4. Copy files into repo A
  5. Compile repo A and make sure it doesn't fail
  6. Commit changes into repo A and repo B
  7. Push changes to the remote server.

Everything is working as expected except step 6. I can commit the changes, but how do I commit any new files? I tried git add . as I've read elsewhere but that doesn't catch all the new files in all the sub directories. Is there an easy way to do a "Add all new files"?

I know I'm late to the party here, but you can also do git -a -m "commit message here". This takes care of adding files as well as committing them in one command. I use this command pretty heavily.

You can use git add -A As already mentioned or the long subcommand git add --all

git add -A

will stage all modifications to the working tree. Add really means "include in the index" or "add changes to the index".

Take a look here. Perhaps you're interested in git add -u or git add -A.
