git diff filtered by file name
The simplest method is to simply use a wildcard:
git diff -- '*AssemblyInfo.cs'
At least this works on my Git v1.8.4, bash 3.2, and zsh 5.7.
File arguments to git diff
need to be delimited by --
- try this:
find . -name <pattern> | xargs git diff --
xargs makes sure spaces, tabs, newlines, etc are handled correctly.
You could debug it with the --name-status
argument to git diff
. You could also try:
git diff --name-only | grep <pattern>
[edit] Try:
git diff --name-status -- `find . -name '<pattern>'`
ebg@taiyo(98)$ git diff --name-status -- `find . -name '*.scm'`
M scheme/base/boolean.scm
M surf/compiler/common.scm
M surf/compiler/compile.scm
M surf/compiler/expand.scm
Probably the simplest option is to use:
git diff "*/*AssemlyInfo.cs"
works as of git 2.20.1
