git-addi

Add git files interactively from the command line.

Requirements

fzf

Step 1

Create a new bash script called git-addi...

#!/bin/bash
# Add files interactively

git add $(git status --porcelain | fzf -m | awk '{print $2}')

Make it executable...

$ chmod +x git-addi

Step 2

Move git-addi script to a place that is in your $PATH.

For example, I have ~/.git/bin appended to my $PATH variable. This is where all my git scripts live.

export PATH=$PATH:~/.git/bin

$ mv git-addi ~/.git/bin

Step 3

Execute git addi. To select multiple files, use Shift + Tab. Press ENTER when done.
