Automatically remove files in GIT repository after renaming them - linux

Question

I usually does the following with
$ mv file1.py file2.py
$ git add .
$ git rm file1.py
How can I skip the last step? So that whenever I add the newly name
files it will automatically remove the old one file1.py in the git repository.
I know I can do git mv file1.py file2.py. But in my workflow I tend to do many mv commands and prefer to add and commit them at the very end.

If you want to stage all current files you can do it with git add -u So you can try the following combination:
git add . #add new files
git add -u #stage removed files
Example
lol4t0#lol4t0-VirtualBox:~/gtets$ mv foo bar
lol4t0#lol4t0-VirtualBox:~/gtets$ git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add/rm <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
deleted: foo
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
bar
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
lol4t0#lol4t0-VirtualBox:~/gtets$ git add -u
lol4t0#lol4t0-VirtualBox:~/gtets$ git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
deleted: foo
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
bar
lol4t0#lol4t0-VirtualBox:~/gtets$ git add .
lol4t0#lol4t0-VirtualBox:~/gtets$ git status
On branch master
Changes to be committed:
(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
renamed: foo -> bar
