git commit auto add new folders or files?

git

Solution

As long as I am informed right there is no such command (It could be dangerous when you have debug-files containing passwords), but if you want to simulate you could add this alias to your git config:

git config --global alias.commitx "!git add . && git commit"

Using `git commitx` will now run `git add .` followed by `git commit`, so you can do

git commitx -m "testing commitx on new unstaged files"

Problem

Is it possible to have `git commit` also add new files and directories? It seems a lot of needless typing in the long run to have to type `git add .` then `git commit` (That, and I have a tendency to often forget to call `git add .` resulting in versions with missing directories and such)
