Could we add a: git locate <filename> or git find <filename>How about "git ls-files \*<filename>"?Or "git ls-files '*filename'... ... but how to make an (git) alias for this?Add something like this to your $HOME/.gitconfig: [alias] locate = !sh -c 'git ls-files "\\*$1"' -
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
