Is it possible to `git add` a list of files from a file? [duplicate]

Question

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.

Answer 1

You can use xargs:

xargs -a file -d '\n' git add
