What does each of the [y,n,q,a,d,/,K,j,J,g,e,?] stand for in context of git -p

Question

When using -p mode of git add -p or git stash -p what does each of the letters stand for?

I\'m guessing y is yes and n

Answer 1

The meaning of these letters can be found by typing ? and hit the Enter key. For me these didn't come when run git add --help. I got the meaning of these options as below :-
