Now git supports exclude certain paths and files by pathspec magic :(exclude) and its short form :!. So you can easily achieve it as the following command.
The -- option separates the add command from the list of files, so the files won't be mistaken as command-line options. In the case above, all files in the current directory (.), except excludedfile.
I've yet to find a documentation for the syntax of the exclusion of files, but I've been using the command and has been working for me (my Git version is 2.20).
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
