Better git add

gitadd.sh

function ga {
  { git ls-files -o  --exclude-standard --full-name | while read -r file; do
      read -u 3 -n 1 -p "Do you wish to add new file \"$file\"? (y/n)  " answer
      if echo "$answer" | grep -iq "^y" ;then
          git add $file
          echo $'\nAdded file\n'
      else
          echo $'\nSkipping file\n'
      fi
  done; } 3<&0

  git add -p
}

ga

Will first ask you if you wish to add each new untracked file and then will start the normal "patched" mode of git adding each hunk.

Should make it easy to do sanity check before adding items.

Just lift function definition into .bashrc.
