NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-status - Show the working tree status
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-status' <options>...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Displays paths that have differences between the index file and the
|
|
current HEAD commit, paths that have differences between the working
|
|
tree and the index file, and paths in the working tree that are not
|
|
tracked by git (and are not ignored by gitlink:gitignore[5]). The first
|
|
are what you _would_ commit by running `git commit`; the second and
|
|
third are what you _could_ commit by running `git add` before running
|
|
`git commit`.
|
|
|
|
The command takes the same set of options as `git-commit`; it
|
|
shows what would be committed if the same options are given to
|
|
`git-commit`.
|
|
|
|
If there is no path that is different between the index file and
|
|
the current HEAD commit (i.e., there is nothing to commit by running
|
|
`git-commit`), the command exits with non-zero status.
|
|
|
|
If any paths have been touched in the working tree (that is,
|
|
their modification times have changed) but their contents and
|
|
permissions are identical to those in the index file, the command
|
|
updates the index file. Running `git-status` can thus speed up
|
|
subsequent operations such as `git-diff` if the working tree
|
|
contains many paths that have been touched but not modified.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit
|
|
template comment, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'.
|
|
|
|
The paths mentioned in the output, unlike many other git commands, are
|
|
made relative to the current directory if you are working in a
|
|
subdirectory (this is on purpose, to help cutting and pasting). See
|
|
the status.relativePaths config option below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The command honors `color.status` (or `status.color` -- they
|
|
mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward
|
|
compatibility) and `color.status.<slot>` configuration variables
|
|
to colorize its output.
|
|
|
|
If the config variable `status.relativePaths` is set to false, then all
|
|
paths shown are relative to the repository root, not to the current
|
|
directory.
