In Git, while adding files to a commit, we can add all files matching a pattern like so:
git add **Component**
I find this feature pretty useful to quickly add lots of files with similar names.
For example, If all my files are named based on components, then I can add all changes I did to a component quickly.
Similarly, is there a way in git to add all files to commit excluding files matching a pattern?
Something like:
git add *.java --exclude **Component1**
So that I can all my java file changes except the changes that I made to the files of component1?
Try one of
git add *.java ':(exclude):**Component1**'
git add *.java ':!**Component1**'
Any pathspec beginning with a colon is a magic pathspec. exclude is one of them.
