How to detect changing files in selected folder and selected file extension?

Question

How to config git hook for detecting exactly selected folder (exem /../../schemas) and exactly selected file extension (exem *.xsd)?

I want just get name of changed file and author name. I want to automatically send email with this info to smbd. But I'll deal with sending email myself =) — Slava Podolskiy, May 11 '18 at 10:29

You can run git diff to see all changes and grep results by the pattern you like. Like this

all_changes=$(git diff --cached --find-copies --find-renames --name-only --diff-filter=ACR)
only_xsd_files=$(echo $all_changes | grep "\.xsd")
only_schemas=$(echo $only_xsd_files | grep "path/to/schemas")

And then you can run rest of your script
