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

I believe you can just say "git add DSManger.java" if your terminal window is currently cd into the proper folder (src_test/com/abc/product/server/datasource/manager/aats). So just do:

cd src_test/com/abc/product/server/datasource/manager/aats
git add DSManger.java

Otherwise, I can't think of any other way unless you make a separate repo.
