07/16/2024, 10:09 AMHello! I have a question, in the method (POST /repositories/{repository}/branches/{branch}/commits) it is indicated that changes are committed throughout the selected branch, perhaps there are options for an analogue of the git add <fileName> command? We have an urgent need to add sample files to the commit. Perhaps someone had experience solving this problem?

You can import files into lakeFS. Is this the functionality you are looking for?

07/16/2024, 12:05 PMYes, I know about this feature, but I meant using the lakefs API. That is, it is necessary to leave files in the uncommited area, but at the same time call the POST/repositories/{repository}/branches/{branch}/commits method

There is an open feature request for this. Please feel free to comment your use case there

A suggested workaround is to use stageObject to zero-copy the objects off to another branch, then delete them from the branch and commit only the desired objects. Following this you can merge that other branch into the desired branch
This is not a common practice and will not work with GC, but it will probably achieve your requested feature, until the thread mentioned before is implemented

@Борис Стук Is the above workaround applicable to your use case?
