git diff noindex exclude files












1















Does any one how to exclude files when comparing folders with git diff --no-index ? It seems this option



':(exclude)*.min.css'


does not work with no-index (outside working tree)










share|improve this question























  • Copy the trees to be diffed to new trees, and remove the files you don't want. Not pretty but will do the trick.

The pathspec :(exclude) and its short form :! or :^ is available only within a Git working tree.



So:




  • either, as commented, you can put it in a (temporary) git local repo (git init . + git add) or

  • you would need to do your git diff --no-index in a find -exec command with exclude directives.
