Geez, using `git add .` is the worst thing you can do. Never use this. Tutorials: stop suggesting this. It's just a recipe to getting yourself into a mess (plus, you should never work so blindly!).
Add individual files, and, if possible, use `git add -p`, which lets you review each chunk before adding it to the index. Otherwise, diff and add individual files.
Hell, even if you want to stage every change, what you really want is `git add -A`, which stages deletes too (`git add .` ignores any files you've deleted or renamed, it only stages new files and changes to existing files.)
