1git-status(1) 2============= 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-status - Show the working tree status 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-status' <options>... 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15Examines paths in the working tree that has changes unrecorded 16to the index file, and changes between the index file and the 17current HEAD commit. The former paths are what you _could_ 18commit by running 'git-update-index' before running 'git 19commit', and the latter paths are what you _would_ commit by 20running 'git commit'. 21 22If there is no path that is different between the index file and 23the current HEAD commit, the command exits with non-zero 24status. 25 26The command takes the same set of options as `git-commit`; it 27shows what would be committed if the same options are given to 28`git-commit`. 29 30 31OUTPUT 32------ 33The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit 34template comments, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'. 35 36 37CONFIGURATION 38------------- 39 40The command honors `color.status` (or `status.color` -- they 41mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward 42compatibility) and `color.status.<slot>` configuration variables 43to colorize its output. 44 45 46Author 47------ 48Written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> and 49Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>. 50 51Documentation 52-------------- 53Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 54 55GIT 56--- 57Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite 58
