Hey all, Could we add a: git locate <filename> or git find <filename> that is just an alias to "git ls-files | grep filename" ? Reasons: 1) git ls-files does not autocomplete, since it's an low-level plumbing command 2) It's nice having shell equivalents - e.g. git grep etc John

How about "git ls-files \*<filename>"? Ciao, Dscho

Or "git ls-files '*filename'... ... but how to make an (git) alias for this? -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git

Add something like this to your $HOME/.gitconfig:
[alias]
locate = !sh -c 'git ls-files "\\*$1"' -

Thanks a lot, Dscho! I think it would be nice to have this trick alias.<cmd> = !sh -c '<commands with $1, $@, $#>' - described in git-config (alias) documentation. Unfortunately I don't understand this trick well enough to do it myself... -- Jakub Narebski Poland

I think having this alias by default would be very nice though - it's pretty common to locate/find files, and it's nice to have unixy equivalents in git. If this really isn't wanted, then perhaps the ls-files command should be bash auto-completed? Thanks! John

Heh. I initially read @$^&*#^&*@#$.
described in git-config (alias) documentation. Unfortunately I don't understand this trick well enough to do it myself...
I tried to explain things properly in http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Aliases#Advanced_aliases_with_arguments Ciao, Dscho

The alias 'git locate' and the command 'git ls-files' runs differently if I run them in a subdirectory. Is it expected? [master] ~/srcs/git[299]$ git locate urls.txt Documentation/urls.txt [master] ~/srcs/git[300]$ git ls-files '*urls.txt' Documentation/urls.txt [master] ~/srcs/git[301]$ cd t [master] ~/srcs/git/t[302]$ git locate urls.txt Documentation/urls.txt [master] ~/srcs/git/t[303]$ git ls-files '*urls.txt' [master] ~/srcs/git/t[304]$ Thanks, namsh

Yes, aliases with "!" are executed from the root of the worktree, ls-files from the current wd. Michael

Yeah, as stated in another part of the Wiki page Dscho referred to
(namely the "Serve repo on the spot" section):
"It makes use of the fact that (currently, as of git 1.5.6.1) non-git
alias are executed from the top-level dir of a repo."
("non-git" == those starting with "!", which is the case here)

I just ran into this (I wanted to alias 'git find' but to me the 'run ls-files from cwd' is desirable. Also, I prefer to have a trailing glob as well, so I added one :). An easy solution is to drop 'git-find' in your path somewhere: sverre@laptop-sverre:~/bin$ cat git-find #!/bin/bash git ls-files "*$1*" -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier

I have finally settled on:
[alias]
locate = !sh -c 'git ls-files | grep --color=auto "$1"' -
This acts as if there is a leading and trailing wildcard, and also
colors the output nicely.
Can we add this as default please? There didn't seem to be any
resistance in this thread to making it default, just that nobody did
it :)

Actually could someone help me with this.. the trouble is that this returns paths relative to the root. Can I get it to find all the files, but relative to where I am now? John

Make it a git command, not an alias. You'll then be fine. put git-locate somewhere in your $PATH --<-- #!/bin/sh git ls-files | grep --color=auto "$1" --<-- Of course you need to chmod u+x for it. -- Duy
