How to avoid specifying absolute file path while git-add

Question

Using git add command becomes tedious once the file path becomes lengthy. For e.g. git add src_test/com/abc/product/server/datasource/manager/aats/DSManger.ja

Answer 1

With bash, you can set "globstar" (shopt -s globstar) and then do:

git add **/DSManger.java

to add all files called DSManager.java present below the current directory.

(**/ matches all directories and subdirectories.)
