Adding certain files from a folder

I have a folder temp/ with ten files, but I need to git add only three of them. What is the easiest way to do so besides adding temp/ and then doing git reset for unnecessary files?

bash-3.2$ git status
On branch master
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    temp/

For your question, I would like to recommend you trying tig, On the status view of tig, you can easily choose files to be staged.
