How to commit all the files in a folder in Git

Published on Aug. 22, 2023, 12:16 p.m.

To commit all the files in a folder in Git, you can use git add followed by the folder name to stage all the changes in the folder. Here’s an example:

# Stage all changes in the "myfolder" folder
git add myfolder/

# Commit the changes
git commit -m "Commit message"

This will stage all changes in the “myfolder” folder, including new files, modified files, and deleted files. Then, you can use git commit to commit the changes with a commit message.

If you want to commit changes in a folder and its subfolders recursively, you can use the -A option with git add:

# Stage all changes in the "myfolder" folder and its subfolders
git add myfolder/ -A

# Commit the changes
git commit -m "Commit message"

This will recursively stage all changes in the “myfolder” folder and its subfolders, including changes in existing files, new files, and deleted files. Then, you can use git commit to commit the changes with a commit message.

Note that the -A option stages all changes in the repository, so be careful when using this command to avoid staging unwanted changes.
