Is there a way to just commit one file type extension from a folder?

Question

I have a folder with a lot of stuff and I would like just to commit ".c" extension files. Is there a command to do this or do I need to add each file name manually?

Answer 1

For me, just git add *.c didn't work. I encountered fatal error like this:

git add *.php The following paths are ignored by one of your .gitignore files: wp-config.php Use -f if you really want to add them. fatal: no files added 

So, in this variant git tried to add ignored files.

But such variant:

git add \*.php 

worked flawlessly. By the way, you can do git diff the same way:

git diff -- \*.php
