1) By using 'git add <file_spec>...'
This can be performed multiple times before a commit. Note that this
is not only for adding new files. Even modified files must be
added to the set of changes about to be committed. The "git status"
command gives you a summary of what is included so far for the
next commit. When done you should use the 'git commit' command to
make it real.

Note: don't forget to 'add' a file again if you modified it after the
first 'add' and before 'commit'. Otherwise only the previous added
state of that file will be committed. This is because git tracks
content, so what you're really 'add'ing to the commit is the *content*
of the file in the state it is in when you 'add' it.

2) By using 'git commit -a' directly
This is a quick way to automatically 'add' the content from all files
that were modified since the previous commit, and perform the actual
commit without having to separately 'add' them beforehand. This will
not add content from new files i.e. files that were never added before.
Those files still have to be added explicitly before performing a
commit.

But here's a twist. If you do 'git commit <file1> <file2> ...' then only
the changes belonging to those explicitly specified files will be
