git stage all files that are already tracked and have a certain extension
As the title says: Is it somehow possible in git to...
- ...stage all files that are already under version control...
- ...and have a certain file extension?
The use case is a repo where I often have files that remain untracked (changes too fast to add them to gitignore) and I have some binary data files that I don't want and need to commit after each modification, only occasionally.
So basically I often want to say: "Hey git, stage all already tracked files with extension *.xyz".

Simply
git add -u '*.xyz'
( thanks to UnbearableLightness for the insight about -u )
( and mind the quotes )
