[SOLVED] git status filter to NOT show files of extension type

[wtr]

Hello all,

I'm familiar with

Filter to show no untracked files (i.e only tracked)

git status -uno

Filter to show only tracked files ending with .txt

git status *.txt -uno

What I want to be able to do is

Filter to NOT show files of type log

I tried using a regexp which did not match log -> ^.*\.(?!log$)[^.]+$

git status ^.*\.(?!log$)[^.]+$ -uno

However this gave me nothing.

I'd greatly appreciate any advice

FYI.
I know I could git status >> a.txt then vim into a.txt and :g/searchstring/d
But I don't want to be dependant on other tools/applications.

Regards,

How about:

% git status -uno | sed '/\.log/d'

If you are on windows you'll have to get the gnu win version of sed and use the following:

> git status -uno | sed -e "/\.log/d"
or
> git status -uno | sed -e /\.log/d
works too.

Imagine I'm not allowed to install anything.

For linux this is a solution, because unless its something like arch i'm almost certain -find/grep/sed are native.

Whereas in the windows land I guess one might be forced to deviate - unless they can get common tools. Like I said earlier, imagine I have no control over installations.

Well technically you dont install gnu tool on windows. They are natively compiled for win32 they can be copied to any directory.
