|
============= |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-status - Show the working tree status |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
[verse] |
|
'git status' [<options>...] [--] [<pathspec>...] |
|
|
|
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 linkgit: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`. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
|
|
-s:: |
|
--short:: |
|
Give the output in the short-format. |
|
|
|
-b:: |
|
--branch:: |
|
Show the branch and tracking info even in short-format. |
|
|
|
--show-stash:: |
|
Show the number of entries currently stashed away. |
|
|
|
--porcelain[=<version>]:: |
|
Give the output in an easy-to-parse format for scripts. |
|
This is similar to the short output, but will remain stable |
|
across Git versions and regardless of user configuration. See |
|
below for details. |
|
+ |
|
The version parameter is used to specify the format version. |
|
This is optional and defaults to the original version 'v1' format. |
|
|
|
--long:: |
|
Give the output in the long-format. This is the default. |
|
|
|
-v:: |
|
--verbose:: |
|
In addition to the names of files that have been changed, also |
|
show the textual changes that are staged to be committed |
|
(i.e., like the output of `git diff --cached`). If `-v` is specified |
|
twice, then also show the changes in the working tree that |
|
have not yet been staged (i.e., like the output of `git diff`). |
|
|
|
-u[<mode>]:: |
|
--untracked-files[=<mode>]:: |
|
Show untracked files. |
|
+ |
|
-- |
|
The mode parameter is used to specify the handling of untracked files. |
|
It is optional: it defaults to 'all', and if specified, it must be |
|
stuck to the option (e.g. `-uno`, but not `-u no`). |
|
|
|
The possible options are: |
|
|
|
- 'no' - Show no untracked files. |
|
- 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories. |
|
- 'all' - Also shows individual files in untracked directories. |
|
|
|
When `-u` option is not used, untracked files and directories are |
|
shown (i.e. the same as specifying `normal`), to help you avoid |
|
forgetting to add newly created files. Because it takes extra work |
|
to find untracked files in the filesystem, this mode may take some |
|
time in a large working tree. |
|
Consider enabling untracked cache and split index if supported (see |
|
`git update-index --untracked-cache` and `git update-index |
|
--split-index`), Otherwise you can use `no` to have `git status` |
|
return more quickly without showing untracked files. |
|
|
|
The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles |
|
configuration variable documented in linkgit:git-config[1]. |
|
-- |
|
|
|
--ignore-submodules[=<when>]:: |
|
Ignore changes to submodules when looking for changes. <when> can be |
|
either "none", "untracked", "dirty" or "all", which is the default. |
|
Using "none" will consider the submodule modified when it either contains |
|
untracked or modified files or its HEAD differs from the commit recorded |
|
in the superproject and can be used to override any settings of the |
|
'ignore' option in linkgit:git-config[1] or linkgit:gitmodules[5]. When |
|
"untracked" is used submodules are not considered dirty when they only |
|
contain untracked content (but they are still scanned for modified |
|
content). Using "dirty" ignores all changes to the work tree of submodules, |
|
only changes to the commits stored in the superproject are shown (this was |
|
the behavior before 1.7.0). Using "all" hides all changes to submodules |
|
(and suppresses the output of submodule summaries when the config option |
|
`status.submoduleSummary` is set). |
|
|
|
--ignored[=<mode>]:: |
|
Show ignored files as well. |
|
+ |
|
-- |
|
The mode parameter is used to specify the handling of ignored files. |
|
It is optional: it defaults to 'traditional'. |
|
|
|
The possible options are: |
|
|
|
- 'traditional' - Shows ignored files and directories, unless |
|
--untracked-files=all is specified, in which case |
|
individual files in ignored directories are |
|
displayed. |
|
- 'no' - Show no ignored files. |
|
- 'matching' - Shows ignored files and directories matching an |
|
ignore pattern. |
|
|
|
When 'matching' mode is specified, paths that explicitly match an |
|
ignored pattern are shown. If a directory matches an ignore pattern, |
|
then it is shown, but not paths contained in the ignored directory. If |
|
a directory does not match an ignore pattern, but all contents are |
|
ignored, then the directory is not shown, but all contents are shown. |
|
-- |
|
|
|
-z:: |
|
Terminate entries with NUL, instead of LF. This implies |
|
the `--porcelain=v1` output format if no other format is given. |
|
|
|
--column[=<options>]:: |
|
--no-column:: |
|
Display untracked files in columns. See configuration variable |
|
column.status for option syntax.`--column` and `--no-column` |
|
without options are equivalent to 'always' and 'never' |
|
respectively. |
|
|
|
--ahead-behind:: |
|
--no-ahead-behind:: |
|
Display or do not display detailed ahead/behind counts for the |
|
branch relative to its upstream branch. Defaults to true. |
|
|
|
--renames:: |
|
--no-renames:: |
|
Turn on/off rename detection regardless of user configuration. |
|
See also linkgit:git-diff[1] `--no-renames`. |
|
|
|
--find-renames[=<n>]:: |
|
Turn on rename detection, optionally setting the similarity |
|
threshold. |
|
See also linkgit:git-diff[1] `--find-renames`. |
|
|
|
<pathspec>...:: |
|
See the 'pathspec' entry in linkgit:gitglossary[7]. |
|
|
|
OUTPUT |
|
------ |
|
The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit |
|
template comment. |
|
The default, long format, is designed to be human readable, |
|
verbose and descriptive. Its contents and format are subject to change |
|
at any time. |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
Short Format |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
In the short-format, the status of each path is shown as one of these |
|
forms |
|
|
|
XY PATH |
|
XY ORIG_PATH -> PATH |
|
|
|
where `ORIG_PATH` is where the renamed/copied contents came |
|
from. `ORIG_PATH` is only shown when the entry is renamed or |
|
copied. The `XY` is a two-letter status code. |
|
|
|
The fields (including the `->`) are separated from each other by a |
|
single space. If a filename contains whitespace or other nonprintable |
|
characters, that field will be quoted in the manner of a C string |
|
literal: surrounded by ASCII double quote (34) characters, and with |
|
interior special characters backslash-escaped. |
|
|
|
For paths with merge conflicts, `X` and `Y` show the modification |
|
states of each side of the merge. For paths that do not have merge |
|
conflicts, `X` shows the status of the index, and `Y` shows the status |
|
of the work tree. For untracked paths, `XY` are `??`. Other status |
|
codes can be interpreted as follows: |
|
|
|
* ' ' = unmodified |
|
* 'M' = modified |
|
* 'A' = added |
|
* 'D' = deleted |
|
* 'R' = renamed |
|
* 'C' = copied |
|
* 'U' = updated but unmerged |
|
|
|
Ignored files are not listed, unless `--ignored` option is in effect, |
|
in which case `XY` are `!!`. |
|
|
|
.... |
|
X Y Meaning |
|
------------------------------------------------- |
|
[AMD] not updated |
|
M [ MD] updated in index |
|
A [ MD] added to index |
|
D deleted from index |
|
R [ MD] renamed in index |
|
C [ MD] copied in index |
|
[MARC] index and work tree matches |
|
[ MARC] M work tree changed since index |
|
[ MARC] D deleted in work tree |
|
[ D] R renamed in work tree |
|
[ D] C copied in work tree |
|
------------------------------------------------- |
|
D D unmerged, both deleted |
|
A U unmerged, added by us |
|
U D unmerged, deleted by them |
|
U A unmerged, added by them |
|
D U unmerged, deleted by us |
|
A A unmerged, both added |
|
U U unmerged, both modified |
|
------------------------------------------------- |
|
? ? untracked |
|
! ! ignored |
|
------------------------------------------------- |
|
.... |
|
|
|
Submodules have more state and instead report |
|
M the submodule has a different HEAD than |
|
recorded in the index |
|
m the submodule has modified content |
|
? the submodule has untracked files |
|
since modified content or untracked files in a submodule cannot be added |
|
via `git add` in the superproject to prepare a commit. |
|
|
|
'm' and '?' are applied recursively. For example if a nested submodule |
|
in a submodule contains an untracked file, this is reported as '?' as well. |
|
|
|
If -b is used the short-format status is preceded by a line |
|
|
|
## branchname tracking info |
|
|
|
Porcelain Format Version 1 |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
Version 1 porcelain format is similar to the short format, but is guaranteed |
|
not to change in a backwards-incompatible way between Git versions or |
|
based on user configuration. This makes it ideal for parsing by scripts. |
|
The description of the short format above also describes the porcelain |
|
format, with a few exceptions: |
|
|
|
1. The user's color.status configuration is not respected; color will |
|
always be off. |
|
|
|
2. The user's status.relativePaths configuration is not respected; paths |
|
shown will always be relative to the repository root. |
|
|
|
There is also an alternate -z format recommended for machine parsing. In |
|
that format, the status field is the same, but some other things |
|
change. First, the '\->' is omitted from rename entries and the field |
|
order is reversed (e.g 'from \-> to' becomes 'to from'). Second, a NUL |
|
(ASCII 0) follows each filename, replacing space as a field separator |
|
and the terminating newline (but a space still separates the status |
|
field from the first filename). Third, filenames containing special |
|
characters are not specially formatted; no quoting or |
|
backslash-escaping is performed. |
|
|
|
Any submodule changes are reported as modified `M` instead of `m` or single `?`. |
|
|
|
Porcelain Format Version 2 |
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
Version 2 format adds more detailed information about the state of |
|
the worktree and changed items. Version 2 also defines an extensible |
|
set of easy to parse optional headers. |
|
|
|
Header lines start with "#" and are added in response to specific |
|
command line arguments. Parsers should ignore headers they |
|
don't recognize. |
|
|
|
Branch Headers |
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
|
|
If `--branch` is given, a series of header lines are printed with |
|
information about the current branch. |
|
|
|
.... |
|
Line Notes |
|
------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
# branch.oid <commit> | (initial) Current commit. |
|
# branch.head <branch> | (detached) Current branch. |
|
# branch.upstream <upstream_branch> If upstream is set. |
|
# branch.ab +<ahead> -<behind> If upstream is set and |
|
the commit is present. |
|
------------------------------------------------------------ |
|
.... |
|
|
|
Changed Tracked Entries |
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
|
|
Following the headers, a series of lines are printed for tracked |
|
entries. One of three different line formats may be used to describe |
|
an entry depending on the type of change. Tracked entries are printed |
|
in an undefined order; parsers should allow for a mixture of the 3 |
|
line types in any order. |
|
|
|
Ordinary changed entries have the following format: |
|
|
|
1 <XY> <sub> <mH> <mI> <mW> <hH> <hI> <path> |
|
|
|
Renamed or copied entries have the following format: |
|
|
|
2 <XY> <sub> <mH> <mI> <mW> <hH> <hI> <X><score> <path><sep><origPath> |
|
|
|
.... |
|
Field Meaning |
|
-------------------------------------------------------- |
|
<XY> A 2 character field containing the staged and |
|
unstaged XY values described in the short format, |
|
with unchanged indicated by a "." rather than |
|
a space. |
|
<sub> A 4 character field describing the submodule state. |
|
"N..." when the entry is not a submodule. |
|
"S<c><m><u>" when the entry is a submodule. |
|
<c> is "C" if the commit changed; otherwise ".". |
|
<m> is "M" if it has tracked changes; otherwise ".". |
|
<u> is "U" if there are untracked changes; otherwise ".". |
|
<mH> The octal file mode in HEAD. |
|
<mI> The octal file mode in the index. |
|
<mW> The octal file mode in the worktree. |
|
<hH> The object name in HEAD. |
|
<hI> The object name in the index. |
|
<X><score> The rename or copy score (denoting the percentage |
|
of similarity between the source and target of the |
|
move or copy). For example "R100" or "C75". |
|
<path> The pathname. In a renamed/copied entry, this |
|
is the target path. |
|
<sep> When the `-z` option is used, the 2 pathnames are separated |
|
with a NUL (ASCII 0x00) byte; otherwise, a tab (ASCII 0x09) |
|
byte separates them. |
|
<origPath> The pathname in the commit at HEAD or in the index. |
|
This is only present in a renamed/copied entry, and |
|
tells where the renamed/copied contents came from. |
|
-------------------------------------------------------- |
|
.... |
|
|
|
Unmerged entries have the following format; the first character is |
|
a "u" to distinguish from ordinary changed entries. |
|
|
|
u <xy> <sub> <m1> <m2> <m3> <mW> <h1> <h2> <h3> <path> |
|
|
|
.... |
|
Field Meaning |
|
-------------------------------------------------------- |
|
<XY> A 2 character field describing the conflict type |
|
as described in the short format. |
|
<sub> A 4 character field describing the submodule state |
|
as described above. |
|
<m1> The octal file mode in stage 1. |
|
<m2> The octal file mode in stage 2. |
|
<m3> The octal file mode in stage 3. |
|
<mW> The octal file mode in the worktree. |
|
<h1> The object name in stage 1. |
|
<h2> The object name in stage 2. |
|
<h3> The object name in stage 3. |
|
<path> The pathname. |
|
-------------------------------------------------------- |
|
.... |
|
|
|
Other Items |
|
^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
|
|
Following the tracked entries (and if requested), a series of |
|
lines will be printed for untracked and then ignored items |
|
found in the worktree. |
|
|
|
Untracked items have the following format: |
|
|
|
? <path> |
|
|
|
Ignored items have the following format: |
|
|
|
! <path> |
|
|
|
Pathname Format Notes and -z |
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |
|
|
|
When the `-z` option is given, pathnames are printed as is and |
|
without any quoting and lines are terminated with a NUL (ASCII 0x00) |
|
byte. |
|
|
|
Without the `-z` option, pathnames with "unusual" characters are |
|
quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath` |
|
(see linkgit:git-config[1]). |
|
|
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
If `status.submoduleSummary` is set to a non zero number or true (identical |
|
to -1 or an unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled for |
|
the long format and a summary of commits for modified submodules will be |
|
shown (see --summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note |
|
that the summary output from the status command will be suppressed for all |
|
submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only for those |
|
submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. To also view the summary for |
|
ignored submodules you can either use the --ignore-submodules=dirty command |
|
line option or the 'git submodule summary' command, which shows a similar |
|
output but does not honor these settings. |
|
|
|
BACKGROUND REFRESH |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
By default, `git status` will automatically refresh the index, updating |
|
the cached stat information from the working tree and writing out the |
|
result. Writing out the updated index is an optimization that isn't |
|
strictly necessary (`status` computes the values for itself, but writing |
|
them out is just to save subsequent programs from repeating our |
|
computation). When `status` is run in the background, the lock held |
|
during the write may conflict with other simultaneous processes, causing |
|
them to fail. Scripts running `status` in the background should consider |
|
using `git --no-optional-locks status` (see linkgit:git[1] for details). |
