Can I write a more compact rule for git add?

Question

I need add into the staged area all ini files of current directory and its subdirectories recursively. Is exist a single filter for it?

I use it:

git add *.ini ./**/\*.ini

So I pointed two selection rules. Can I write it more compactly through a single rule?

I tried such variants: **/\*.ini, ./**/\*.ini, */**/\*.ini but these are not the same.

Answer 1

Use git add "*.ini". By putting *.ini in quotes you avoid that your shell is expanding the pattern to only the matching file(s) in your current directory before even passing the argument to git.

Answer 2

In general, you can use find for more complicated operations:

find . -type f -name '*.ini' -exec git add {} +
