1git-runstatus(1) 2================ 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-runstatus - A helper for git-status and git-commit 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-runstatus' [--color|--nocolor] [--amend] [--verbose] [--untracked] 12 13 14DESCRIPTION 15----------- 16Examines paths in the working tree that has changes unrecorded 17to the index file, and changes between the index file and the 18current HEAD commit. The former paths are what you _could_ 19commit by running 'git add' (or 'git rm' if you are deleting) before running 'git 20commit', and the latter paths are what you _would_ commit by 21running 'git commit'. 22 23If there is no path that is different between the index file and 24the current HEAD commit, the command exits with non-zero status. 25 26Note that this is _not_ the user level command you would want to 27run from the command line. Use 'git-status' instead. 28 29 30OPTIONS 31------- 32--color:: 33 Show colored status, highlighting modified file names. 34 35--nocolor:: 36 Turn off coloring. 37 38--amend:: 39 Show status based on HEAD^1, not HEAD, i.e. show what 40 'git-commit --amend' would do. 41 42--verbose:: 43 Show unified diff of all file changes. 44 45--untracked:: 46 Show files in untracked directories, too. Without this 47 option only its name and a trailing slash are displayed 48 for each untracked directory. 49 50 51OUTPUT 52------ 53The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit 54template comments, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'. 55 56 57Author 58------ 59Originally written by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> as part 60of git-commit, and later rewritten in C by Jeff King. 61 62Documentation 63-------------- 64Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>. 65 66GIT 67--- 68Part of the gitlink:git[7] suite
