I love git grep
to search in all files checked in to a repository. It's great. But is it possible to use it (or some other Git command) to just use to find files (independent of content)?
At the moment I do this:
find . | grep middleware
which works, but it's not using the Git index which means it's going through every found file and it reports on files that are matching the .gitignore
.
Are there some clever tricks?
You may want git ls-files
which lists the files in the index (and automatically adjusts for your current directory inside the Git work directory).
