Not wrong, but something I found confusing, in section 2.7.5 (page 11 of PDF):

"Let's say you modified foo.txt but didn't add it. You could: <git command>"

Followed by:

"And that would add it and make the commit. You can only do this with files you added before."

Wait, what? So, I modified foo.txt but didn't add it, and then the command to add and commit at the same time can only be done with files I did add before?

Guide was working great to heal years of git trauma up until that point though!
