How to exclude path/files from git-diff-index

Question

I have a sh file that runs pre-commit stage but I want to exclude some paths but I also want to know how to exclude files that ends with "*Test" for example.

Here's my sh file;

for FILE in `git-diff-index HEAD 2>&1 --name-only | sed 's/^:.*     //' | uniq` ; do

I know that this exclude path can be written with git-diff-index but I don't know how to write it.

Thanks

You can use magic pathspec to exclude some of the paths. For example

git diff-index HEAD -- :!*Test

would exclude all files that end with Test.

_{Minor compatibility note: do not use the dashed form git-diff-index, because support for it will be dropped; use the command form git diff-index.}

git-diff-index HEAD 2>&1 --name-only -- . ':(exclude)*Tests.java' -- . ':(exclude)*Test.java' -- . ':(exclude)*\as\*' | sed 's/^:.* //' | uniq

This works well for both path and specific files
