A developer must move all the files in the plugins directory to the local Git staging area. Which Git command must be used to perform this task?

There is no standard Git command 'git track'; tracking is generally an implied concept when adding files or setting up remote branches.

The 'git commit' command is used to record staged changes to the repository history, not to move files to the staging area.

The 'git branch' command is used to create, list, or delete branches, not to stage files.

The 'git add' command is used to add changes from the working directory to the staging area. By specifying 'plugins/*', it tells Git to add all files and subdirectories directly within the 'plugins' directory to the staging index, preparing them for the next commit.
