Is there a way to add all files no matter what you do to them whether it be deleted, untracked, etc? like for a commit. I just don't want to have to git add or git rm all my files every time I commit, especially when I'm working on a large product.

Try:

git add -A

Warning: Starting with git 2.0 (mid 2013), this will always stage files on the whole working tree.
If you want to stage files under the current path of your working tree, you need to use:

git add -A .
