Several <pathspec> in one git command

Question

How to run git command with several pathspecs? For example, I want to look diffs of three different file extensions:

$ git diff -- *.ts | *js | *.map

Answer 1

You're close. Try:

git diff -- '*.ts' '*js' '*.map'

In your form, you'd be telling the shell to pipe data from git diff -- *.ts into *js (whatever happened to be picked up with that glob) and piped into *.map . That's definitely not what you want.

The form I give above is the correct way to say show me all *.ts, *js, and *.map files that have change. You need the quotes around the globs to keep the shell from expanding them, so that git can see what you are actually asking for.
