This command represents a faster alternative to git add -i or git gui.
It allows you to stage or unstage files from the index in an editor, just like
when you perform an interactive rebase.
For example, let's assume you have the following three modified files (git status --short):
.. code-block:: text
M path/to/file1
M another/path/to/file2
M yet/another/path/to/file3
After running git edit-index, an editor will show up with the above output.
To stage (add) the first two files, simply change the text to
.. code-block:: text
A path/to/file1
A another/path/to/file2
M yet/another/path/to/file3
The supported statuses are M, A, D, and ?. They allow you to
not only stage files but also unstage them, delete them, or revert changes done
to them since the last commit.
