How to add multiple files with different extensions to git all at one time...
You can add to git by explicitly listing each file with spaces as delimiters.
$ git add file-name-1.php file-name-2.js file-name-3.html …
The accepted answer is perfect for the OP’s specific case. But I got here—via Google—needing to add multiple files with different extensions. Posting here in case you miss this similar answer to a similar question.
Don't forget about interactive staging
Git interactive staging can also work wonders. To enter interactive staging (aka: adding, removing files):
$ git add -i

Putting aside the fact, that this is just a terrible idea, you can add them as any other file:
git add *.o
git commit -m "Committing compiled files, which is bad"
Of course instead of git add *.o you can use git add */*.o or even find -name *.o | while read x; do git add $x; done

the reason I did this is this repository is just for me and my friend,the project took 20 minutes to compile on his computer, and I am testing if this might save a little bit of time.and this helps a lot thanks

find -name '*.o' -type f -exec git add {} \;

Seems like a duplicate question, Checkout this answer too, stackoverflow.com/a/67543452/12415637
Maybe you have ignored your .o file, check out your .gitignore file if it exists.
Otherwise, you can add all files just by:
$ git add .
$ git commit -am "You message"
However, I dot think it's a good idea to trace the .o files. It's binary file, you'll get these files whenever you do build. Ignore it is a good practice. :)

Note that this will add all files (not just the
.o)

@Let_Me_Be ya, I figured he may want thin one. :p
.ofiles?.gitignorefile. It is fairly uncommon to add .o files to the source repository. In that case you will have to force add i.e.git add -f <files>
