what is the difference between git add . and git add *

Comment

$git add * means add all files in the current directory, except for files whose name begin with a dot. This is your shell functionality and Git only ever receives a list of files.

$git add . has no special meaning in your shell, and thus Git adds the entire directory recursively, which is almost the same, but including files whose names begin with a dot.

what is the difference between git add . and git add *

Comment

Note 1. git add -A and git add -u commands performed without additional parameters would be additional refinement (subdirectory or mask indication for the file name) work in the range of the entire working directory (also if we execute the command in the working subdirectory of the directory). 

Note 2. The . and * are respectively the directory path (current directory) and the wildcard, which clarify the path of the command. For example, if the git add . or git add * command is executed in some subdirectory of a working directory, then their action is only used within this subdirectory, not the entire working directory.

Note 3. The git add -A and git add -u commands can be further refined by adding a path or mask for files, for example, git add -A app/controllers or git add -u app\styles\*.
