Only analyze changes in specific file patterns/extensions?

[ebousse]

It is possible to ask diff to only compute changes on specific file patterns, such as extensions.

For instance (taken from this answer) :

git diff -- '***.py'

will only yield changes on .py files.

Is there any way to achieve something similar with git-quick-stats?

Maybe allowing positional arguments in a variable would suffice to enable this?

Answering myself: solved using the _GIT_PATHSPEC variable.

In my case i did this to only analyse java and asciidoc files:

_GIT_PATHSPEC=':*.java :*.adoc'
