```{parsed-literal}
Add file contents to the index


git2cpp add [OPTIONS] [<files>...]


POSITIONALS:
  <files> TEXT ...            Files to add content from.

OPTIONS:
  -h,     --help              Print this help message and exit
  -A,     --all, --no-ignore-removal
                              Update the index not only where the working tree has a file
                              matching <pathspec> but also where the index already has an
                              entry. This adds, modifies, and removes index entries to match
                              the working tree.

                              If no <pathspec> is given when -A option is used, all files in
                              the entire working tree are updated (old versions of Git used to
                              limit the update to the current directory and its
                              subdirectories).
