git add -A

This simple tip, which will soon be the default in git for git add, automatically adds ALL changes to your local cache/staging area for the next commit. What that means is that all new files are added, all changed files are added (just like with regular git add -a), and all removed files are added (as if you ran git rm <file-name> on each one of them).

git add -A

Enjoy!

git add . also works.

Oh yes, @searsaw, that's right. I don't know that git add . in the current version of git automatically removes manually deleted files, but it will add all new files as well as all changed files.
