Does git support wildcards in paths?

Question

I have looked, searched, and read documentation and can\'t really find anything about this.

Basically, I want to be able to do this:

git reset -- *.exe
<         


        

Answer 1

To reset all exe files recursively from within a git folder, you can do the following:

git reset -- \*.exe

Or if you would like to add all java files within a specific sub-folder you can do that too, like this:

git add ./some/sub/folder/path/**/*.java

where ** means all folders recursively from this point in the path
