1) By using 'git add <file_spec>...'
- This can be performed multiple times before a commit. Note that this
- is not only for adding new files. Even modified files must be
- added to the set of changes about to be committed. The "git status"
- command gives you a summary of what is included so far for the
- next commit. When done you should use the 'git commit' command to
- make it real.

- Note: don't forget to 'add' a file again if you modified it after the
- first 'add' and before 'commit'. Otherwise only the previous added
- state of that file will be committed. This is because git tracks
- content, so what you're really 'add'ing to the commit is the *content*
- of the file in the state it is in when you 'add' it.
