commiting all files except two in git

I have a bulk of modified files.

I want to commit them in 3 commits.

(some added by auto-merge, some relevant for bug1, some relevant for bug2)

how can I commit only 2 files out of 30 ?

how can I commit 25 out of 30 ?

Firstly, add all files:

git add .

To commit 2(or any less no.) files:

git commit -m "my commit msg" file1 file2

To commit 25:

git commit -m "my commit msg" file1 file2 .. file25

or

git reset HEAD file26 file27 ..
git commit -m "my commit msg"

Basically, first remove the files you don't want to commit from "Changes to be committed" list, then commit all remaining ones.

You can add only 2 files and commit!

$git add <file1>

$git add <file12>

$git commit -m "Your message"

If you permanently dont want to stage file(s), make a .gitignore file in you folder where you have initialised the git and specify the files that dont want to be tracked.
