git add -A is not adding all modified files in directories

Question

I want to add all files no matter what: whether it is deleted, created, modified, untracked, etc? I just don\'t want to git add ALL my files EVERY T

Answer 1

I had a similar problem on Windows where I git add --all left some files untracked, problem was that there were several files with different casing 'test.php' and 'Test.php' so git tracked Test.php and not lowercase version of it.

This may help someone in future and save some head scratching.
