Create a git patch for particular file types

Question

How could I create a git patch from thousands of changed files but only include specific file types. For example I only need .cp and .js file types that are changed within my repository to be included in the patch.

Answer 1

It's so simple. If you want to include only specific file types in your patch, you could do so by following the below syntax:

> git diff  0fa393b64893 940dd1e792b -- '*.cp' '*.js' > my.patch
> git apply my.patch

You need to navigate to your repository directory in your bash.
