======

add the specified files on the next commit
------------------------------------------

Schedule files to be version controlled and added to the
repository.

The files will be added to the repository at the next commit. To
undo an add before that, see :hg:`forget`.

If no names are given, add all files to the repository (except
files matching ``.hgignore``).

   Examples:

     - New (unknown) files are added
       automatically by :hg:`add`::

         $ ls
         foo.c
         $ hg status
         ? foo.c
         $ hg add
         adding foo.c
         $ hg status
         A foo.c

     - Specific files to be added can be specified::

         $ ls
         bar.c  foo.c
         $ hg status
         ? bar.c
         ? foo.c
         $ hg add bar.c
         $ hg status
         A bar.c
         ? foo.c
