6 git-status - Show the working tree status
11 'git-status' <options>...
15 Examines paths in the working tree that has changes unrecorded
16 to the index file, and changes between the index file and the
17 current HEAD commit. The former paths are what you _could_
18 commit by running 'git add' before running 'git
19 commit', and the latter paths are what you _would_ commit by
22 If there is no path that is different between the index file and
23 the current HEAD commit, the command exits with non-zero
26 The command takes the same set of options as `git-commit`; it
27 shows what would be committed if the same options are given to
33 The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit
34 template comments, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'.
40 The command honors `color.status` (or `status.color` -- they
41 mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward
42 compatibility) and `color.status.<slot>` configuration variables
43 to colorize its output.
45 As for gitlink:git-add[1], the configuration variable
46 'core.excludesfile' can indicate a path to a file containing patterns
47 of file names to exclude, in addition to patterns given in
48 'info/exclude' and '.gitignore'.
