9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <h2>add</h2> 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: The often used <code>add</code> command is how you tell <b>fossil</b> to 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: include a (usually new) file in the repository. 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <b>fossil</b> is designed to manage artifacts whose role is being 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: "source" for something, most probably software program code or other 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: text. One can imagine all kinds of ways to let fossil know just what 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: constitutes a source; the simplest and most direct way it 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <i>actually</i> finds out is when you give it the 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <code> fossil add <i>file</i> </code> command. 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: It's reasonable to think of 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: the <a href="cmd_import.wiki"><code>import</code></a> 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: and <a href="cmd_clone.wiki"><code>clone</code></a> 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: commands as very high-powered versions of the <code>add</code> 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: command that are combined with system level file movement and 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: networking functions. Not particularly accurate, but reasonable. 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: Typing <code>fossil add myfile</code> causes fossil to put 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <i>myfile</i> into the repository at the next 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <code>commit</code>—provided you issue it from within the source 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: tree, of course. 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: Note that the repository is <u>not</u> changed by the <code>add</code> 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: command, but by the <code>commit</code> command. <code>add</code> 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <i>myfile</i> tells <b>fossil</b> to "mark" <i>myfile</i> as part of 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: the repository. Only commands which actually manipulate the content 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: of the "source" artifacts can physically put the file into (or remove 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: it from) the repository. 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: Just to keep things confused, there are also commands that can 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: manipulate the repository without affecting the checked-out sources 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: (see <a href="cmd_pull.wiki">fossil pull</a>, for instance.) 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: See also: <a href="cmd_rm.wiki">fossil rm</a>, 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <a href="cmd_import.wiki">fossil import</a>, 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <a href="cmd_clone.wiki">fossil clone</a>, 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <a href="cmd_commit.wiki">fossil commit</a>, 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <a href="cmd_pull.wiki">fossil pull</a>, 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <a href="cmd_settings.wiki">fossil setting</a> (async), 9436bb75c3 2008-11-15 kejoki: <a href="reference.wiki">Reference</a>
