Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/758 ## Jochen Roemling, 2005-05-29 17:40 Subject: [COGITO PATCH] Allow file list for cg-add through stdin Message-ID: <4299FE8A.1060207@roemling.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4299FE8A.1060207%40roemling.net ``` |Hello, how is the preferred way to add a whole new directory to a git-repository using cogito? Currently cg-add expects all new files on the command line. The following patch allows to feed files through stdin, which allows to do find mynewdir -type f | cg-add - What about a functionality to specify a directory on the command line and all files are recursively added?

But a patch for cg-add processing directories recursively would be great anyway... ;-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ C++: an octopus made by nailing extra legs onto a dog. -- Steve Taylor ``` ## Jochen Roemling, 2005-05-29 20:22 Subject: Re: [COGITO PATCH] Allow file list for cg-add through stdin Message-ID: <429A24A1.1010402@roemling.net> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/429A24A1.1010402%40roemling.net In-Reply-To: <20050529184642.GL1036@pasky.ji.cz> ``` Petr Baudis wrote: >But a patch for cg-add processing directories recursively would be great >anyway... ;-) > > > Okay, okay, what about this one: [Cogito PATCH] Add directories recursively with cg-add Signed-off-by: Jochen Roemling --- a/cg-add +++ b/cg-add @@ -10,12 +10,11 @@ [ "$1" ] || die "usage: cg-add FILE..." -for file in "$@"; do - if [ -f "$file" ] || [ -h "$file" ]; then - echo "Adding file $file" - else - die "$file does not exist" - fi -done +TMPFILE="${TMP:-/tmp}/$(basename $0).$$.tmp" -git-update-cache --add -- "$@" +find $@ -type f > $TMPFILE || die "not all files do exist, nothing added" + +cat $TMPFILE | awk '{print "Adding file " $0}' +cat $TMPFILE | xargs git-update-cache --add -- + +rm -f $TMPFILE ```
