What's the difference between q and d in git add --patch?












0















I was trying out git add --patch and typing ? at this prompt:




Stage this hunk [y,n,q,a,d,e,?]




gives me the explanation of the commands, but I can't understand the difference between these:



q - quit; do not stage this hunk or any of the remaining ones  
d - do not stage this hunk or any of the later hunks in the file


(using Git version 2.20.1)

  • @lx07 Thanks! No I hadn't seen it. But from what I've seen d does not reset previously staged changes either..?

    I don't know - "d will proceed to the next file" apparently. I don't know the answer - just thought the comments on that question were relevant to your question and may make sense to you. Hopefully someone better informed can add more...
