Can Intellij Idea automatically stage changes

Question

After a couple of days working on the task I decided to take a look at what's been done with git status from Git Bash.

Some files are in Changes to be committed list, some are in Changes not staged for commit. Interesting thing is, I've never added anything explicitly to the staging area. Never! How is that possible that some of the files ended up there?

Apart from just coding I did git pull once and git stash/stash pop. That's it.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You may have enabled/disabled the version control silently mode in IDEA:

File -> Settings -> Version control -> Confirmation

The Git integration in IntelliJ IDEA stages files when the "Add" action is performed. Normally this happens when a new file is added to Git, but you can also invoke "Add" on an existing file, in which case its current contents will be staged.
