I want to stage a file or a hunk using vc-git (the vc system that comes with Emacs). How do I do this?
(To clarify, I made modifications on a file that is already (registered) in git. I would like to stage the new modifications made. How do I do this with vc-git?)
C-x v v will run vc-next-action command.
Do the next logical version control operation on the current fileset. This requires that all files in the current VC fileset be in the same state. If not, signal an error.
For merging-based version control systems:
- If every file in the VC fileset is not registered for version control, register the fileset (but don’t commit).
- If every work file in the VC fileset is added or changed, pop up a
*vc-log*buffer to commit the fileset.
vc-git-register, which does a little bit more -- the first argument needs to be in list form. If you want it to do less, then you may need to create a custom function. To see what makes it tick, you can useM-x find-function.vc-gitdoes not provide any means to manipulate Git's "index", instead it tries hard to hide it. You'll probably be better served by Magit if you want to use that kind of Git feature from Emacs.
