In my situation, I have a webapp (django) project that has a bunch of staged files I'd not like to discard or commit, but at the same time, I have a file (a sqlite file) that I want to add and commit. At this moment since I have no idea how to do this, I'm taking a way to manually copy (cp) the file to an another non-git directory with renaming, but this is apparently not an efficient practice. So what can I do? Thanks.

Specify the file that you want to commit:

git commit -m 'commit the file' -- /path/to/file

This will commit the specified file but other staged files will not be committed.

stash the staged files, then add and commit the file you want and pop the stash back.
