Why do you need to Google when `git status` tells you how to do it?

    $ touch foo
    $ git add foo
    $ git status
    On branch master
    Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

    Changes to be committed:
      (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
    	new file:   foo
    
    $ git restore --staged foo
    $ git status
    On branch master
    Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

    Untracked files:
      (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    	foo

    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
