-   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*

 2) By using 'git commit -a' directly
 
-   This is a quick way to automatically 'add' the content from all files

-   commit without having to separately 'add' them beforehand.  This will
-   not add content from new files i.e. files that were never added before.
-   Those files still have to be added explicitly before performing a
