Git-add : Marking files to add without entering full path

Question

Does anyone knows a cli utility or command that allow to quickly mark files to add to the next commit or rebase ?

For now i have to do :

git add $fullPath0 $fullPath1 $fullPath2...

I heard that "tig" can open a window where you can add files with spacebar key but i can't find anything about this command.

If you want to add all the files in a particular folder, you can use a wildcard:

git add path/to/folder/*

You can also use autocomplete (tab key), if your command line/terminal supports it. Most do. – Nilpo Sep 24 '14 at 04:07
This is exactly what I wanted, except: git add */some_file_in_some_directory.whatever – KANJICODER May 23 '19 at 23:13

I found something with the "tig" utility :

execute this in terminal :

tig status

Navigate up or down with arrow keys then press "u" to stage (add) the files.

You can press "u" again to unstage the files.
