Equivalent of `git add -A` and `git show` in jGit [message #1002468]

I'm looking for equivalent commands for `git add -A` and `git show` in jGit.
I know how to add a single file using this code:

git.add().addFilepattern(path).call();

However, I'm used to the command:

git add -A

Which basically adds all the files automatically.

-----------

Also, I want to retrieve a specific version of a file from Git repository. In git I use:

git show HEAD~1:file.txt

How can I achieve this in jGit?

Any help will be appreciated.

I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. I'm using the API library (the .jar file), not the command line version.
Thanks for the reply though.

"." will be interpreted as "all" files. But, I'd say that's a bug, at the defail
level. jgit add . will add all files in the working tree, even if you've cd'd to
a subdirectory. JGit is probably bad at considering the current directory in
general, so be careful. If you want to add everything at the top level, then "." is fine.

See the org.eclipse.jgit.pgm.Show class. It uses Repository.resolve which will return the blob id, or you
could use TreeWalk.forPath(). The latter requires some more work. An example can be found in
org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.decorators.GitDocument.
