Add multiple paths at once

[rnag]

I was surprised that this doesn't seem to be supported... In command line i can simply do:

git add <file1> <file2> <folder1> <folder2>

but in go-git I guess i would need to do:

paths := []string{"file2", "file2", "folder1", "folder2"}
for p := range paths {
  _, err := gitRepo.Worktree().Add(p)
  CheckIfError(err)
}

is that right? It seems like there should be an easier way 🤔 Also I'm concerned that eventually this way it will end up being much slower than via the command line, if i am adding a lot of files and directories (but in the case I don't want to do a git add ., if i have other untracked files that i don't want to add). I was worried it will be slower because i notice that it's calling git status each time before committing every file or folder, as well as running checks on each path like whether it was modified, is a file or directory for example - could there be an easier way to batch add paths to the index that i'm missing?

from my personal tests, when i'm adding multiple directories and files to the index, it seems to take the same amount of time with go-git vs. calling command line git add <paths>. So I'm just running git add <paths> same as from command line, instead for now.

also, I was getting a weird error when I'm adding a file to the index that was not changed (via go-git), but is already in the index and on remote (for example, a README.md). I receive below error:

error: rename <longPath>\.git\objects\<obj>: Access is denied.

When I call git add <paths> from within command line or exec.Command(), it doesn't seem to throw me any strange error like that as well 👍
