git add - Is it possible to skip the staging area and (also) commit untracked, new files to git?

Question

Is it possible to skip the staging area and (also) commit untracked, new files to git in a single built-in, command-line command ? If not, what are the alternatives ?

Providing the -a option to the git commit command makes Git automatically stage every file that is already tracked before doing the commit, letting you skip the git add part:

$ git commit -a -m 'added new benchmarks'

Thanks.

Answer 1

Using a single, built-in, command-line command? No.

Using two commands:

git add -A
git commit

Using a custom alias:

Add this to .gitconfig:

[alias]
   commituntracked = "!git add -A; git commit"

Then you can do

git commituntracked
