Explanation

git add stages file changes so they are included in the next commit. Even for files already tracked by Git, modifications must be explicitly staged with git add <filename> (or git add .) before running git commit. Without this step, the changes remain in the working directory but are not committed. git update is not a valid Git command. git merge integrates branches, not individual file changes. git rebase replays commits onto another base branch - it does not stage files.
