Suppose I have a list of files (newline delimited) in a file, and I want to git add all these files.
Is there some way to do this directly?
I have checked online and looked at git help add, but did not see anything that helps.

@BrianRoach, I agree it is a more specific case of the other question, but when I was trying to solve this problem, the first thing that comes to mind is not to Google for "command line arguments from a file content". Therefore I think this question will still be beneficial for future seekers. – merlin2011 Mar 21 '14 at 21:18

Do this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4227994/how-do-i-use-the-lines-of-a-file-as-arguments-of-a-command/4229346#4229346. But, replace `some_command $line` with `git add $line`. – Gabriel Staples Feb 18 '20 at 08:01
