How to select multiple file types with glob matching in git


I have the following:

$ tree
.
├── bar
│   ├── foo.js
│   ├── foo.herp
│   ├── foo.derp
│   └── foo.py
├── bar.herp
└── baz.py

I want to use the following

git ls-files -- {} where {} is some sort of glob pattern

and I want it to return

bar/foo.js
bar/foo.py
baz.py

Solution

  • You can provide any number of glob expressions after ls-files:

    git ls-files -- '*.js' '*.py'
