git vscode autostage files on change

I have various log files that I'm tracking through git, and because they're log files, they are constantly changing with every commit.

I would like for these files to be automatically staged (git add ...) when they are changed, to save me some time. Is this possible?

Try the Ghost Stage extension for VS Code with Auto Stage.

Beside an alias, a shell script like gitwatch could help, provided you have a recent enough WSL (if you are on Windows, to support systemd/systemctl)

On Mac:

systemctl --user --now enable gitwatch@$(systemd-escape "'-r url/to/repository' /path/to/log/folder").service

That being said, this is not considered a best practice, and could lead to "too many commits" cluttering your Gitrepo history.
