Hi Victor,

I think you can do the following steps:

cd ~/bigtop

## let's say you like to add a new file Lei.txt

# do diff, there is no difference
:bigtop lei$ git diff

# create a dummy new file
:bigtop lei$ echo "Lei Zou" > Lei.txt

:bigtop lei$ git diff

# add the file to local repository
:bigtop lei$ git add -N Lei.txt

# do the diff and find out the difference
:bigtop lei$ git diff
diff --git a/Lei.txt b/Lei.txt
index e69de29..53503b0 100644
--- a/Lei.txt
+++ b/Lei.txt
@@ -0,0 +1 @@
+Lei Zou
:bigtop lei$


I hope it helps.

Lei Zou
