Is there a way to use wildcards with git checkout?

Question

What I would like to do is to checkout a single file or a set of files with a common name part like this

git checkout myBranch */myFile.md and

<

Answer 1

Git does not deal with the wildcard, but your shell does.

Try this :

git checkout myBranch **/myFile.md

and

git checkout myBranch  **/*Test*

With the **, your shell will look for files in all the subdirectories starting from the current working directory.
