## Common Usage Patterns (Compact)

```bash
o   Adds content from all *.txt files under Documentation directory and its subdirectories:
```
o   Considers adding content from all git-*.sh scripts:

```bash
o   Clone from upstream:
```
o   Make a local clone that borrows from the current directory, without checking things out:

```bash
o   Clone from upstream while borrowing from an existing local directory:
```
o   Create a bare repository to publish your changes to the public:

```bash
staging area called the "index" with git add. A file can be reverted back, only in the index but not in the
```
working tree, to that of the last commit with git restore --staged <file>, which effectively reverts git add

```bash
and prevents the changes to this file from participating in the next commit. After building the state to be
```
committed incrementally with these commands, git commit (without any pathname parameter) is used to record
