grunt-git-index-files

Grunt plugin for filtering the set of files other tasks operate on into git index files only.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.1

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins.
Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-git-index-files --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-git-index-files');

The "gitIndexFiles" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named gitIndexFiles to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  gitIndexFiles: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    },
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific options go here.
    },
  },
})

Options

option.workTree

Type: String
Default: .

Your Git working tree.

options: {
  workTree: 'my_project'
}

option.gitDir

Type: String
Default: ./.git

The location of the .git directory.

options: {
  gitDir: 'my_project/.git'
}

option.configSrcPath

Type: Array
Default: []

An array of config path as described here.

options: {

The files set defined by config paths will be filtered when the task runs with files that are on the git index.

The task will not add files that are not originally present in the files set.
