SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git status'
+'git-status' <options>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Examines paths in the working tree that has changes unrecorded
to the index file, and changes between the index file and the
current HEAD commit. The former paths are what you _could_
-commit by running 'git-update-index' before running 'git
+commit by running 'git add' before running 'git
commit', and the latter paths are what you _would_ commit by
running 'git commit'.
the current HEAD commit, the command exits with non-zero
status.
+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`.
+
OUTPUT
------
template comments, and all the output lines are prefixed with '#'.
+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.
