I have a bunch of files deleted from the fs and listed as deleted in git status.
How can I stage this changes faster then running git rm for each file?

Delete Files using git rm. The easiest way to delete a file in your Git repository is to execute the “git rm” command and to specify the file to be deleted. Note that by using the “git rm” command, the file will also be deleted from the filesystem.
To add a single file to the commit that you've deleted, you can do git add what/the/path/to/the/file/used/to/be . This is helpful when you have one or two deletions to add, but doesn't add a batch of deletions in one command.
You can do this with:
git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -0 git rm Whenever this question is asked, people suggest git add -u, but the problem with that answer is that it also stages other modifications in your working copy, not just deletions. That might be OK in many situations, but if you want to just stage the deletion of files that have been deleted from the working copy, the suggestion I've made is more precise.
There's actually a section of the git rm documentation that discusses how to do what you want - I believe that the command suggested in the "Other ways" section is equivalent to what I've suggested here.

Use the -u-flag: man git-add
git add -u . If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
