<dt class="hdlist1">

</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">

</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-b
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--branch
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Show the branch and tracking info even in short-format.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">

<dd>
<p>
Show the number of entries currently stashed away.
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--porcelain[=&lt;version&gt;]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
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.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The version parameter is used to specify the format version.
This is optional and defaults to the original version <em>v1</em> format.</p></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--long
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Give the output in the long-format. This is the default.

<dt class="hdlist1">
-v
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--verbose
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
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 <code>git diff --cached</code>). If <code>-v</code> is specified
twice, then also show the changes in the working tree that
have not yet been staged (i.e., like the output of <code>git diff</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
-u[&lt;mode&gt;]
</dt>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--untracked-files[=&lt;mode&gt;]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Show untracked files.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The mode parameter is used to specify the handling of untracked files.
It is optional: it defaults to <em>all</em>, and if specified, it must be
stuck to the option (e.g. <code>-uno</code>, but not <code>-u no</code>).</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The possible options are:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
<em>no</em> - Show no untracked files.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<em>normal</em> - Shows untracked files and directories.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<em>all</em> - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>When <code>-u</code> option is not used, untracked files and directories are
shown (i.e. the same as specifying <code>normal</code>), 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
<code>git update-index --untracked-cache</code> and <code>git update-index
--split-index</code>), Otherwise you can use <code>no</code> to have <code>git status</code>
return more quickly without showing untracked files.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
configuration variable documented in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>.</p></div>
</li>
</ul></div>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--ignore-submodules[=&lt;when&gt;]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Ignore changes to submodules when looking for changes. &lt;when&gt; 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
<em>ignore</em> option in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> or <a href="gitmodules.html">gitmodules(5)</a>. 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
<code>status.submoduleSummary</code> is set).
</p>
</dd>
<dt class="hdlist1">
--ignored[=&lt;mode&gt;]
</dt>
<dd>
<p>
Show ignored files as well.
</p>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The mode parameter is used to specify the handling of ignored files.
It is optional: it defaults to <em>traditional</em>.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>The possible options are:</p></div>
<div class="ulist"><ul>
<li>
<p>
<em>traditional</em> - Shows ignored files and directories, unless
--untracked-files=all is specified, in which case
individual files in ignored directories are
displayed.
</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
<em>no</em> - Show no ignored files.

<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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.</p></div>

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.</p></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>For paths with merge conflicts, <code>X</code> and <code>Y</code> show the modification
states of each side of the merge. For paths that do not have merge
conflicts, <code>X</code> shows the status of the index, and <code>Y</code> shows the status
of the work tree. For untracked paths, <code>XY</code> are <code>??</code>. Other status

<div class="paragraph"><p>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:</p></div>
<div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
<li>
<p>

shown will always be relative to the repository root.
</p>
</li>
</ol></div>
<div class="paragraph"><p>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 <em>-&gt;</em> is omitted from rename entries and the field
order is reversed (e.g <em>from -&gt; to</em> becomes <em>to from</em>). 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.</p></div>

to colorize its output.</p></div>

that the summary output from the status command will be suppressed for all
submodules when <code>diff.ignoreSubmodules</code> is set to <em>all</em> or only for those
submodules where <code>submodule.&lt;name&gt;.ignore=all</code>. To also view the summary for

<h2 id="_background_refresh">BACKGROUND REFRESH</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph"><p>By default, <code>git status</code> 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&#8217;t
strictly necessary (<code>status</code> computes the values for itself, but writing
them out is just to save subsequent programs from repeating our
computation). When <code>status</code> is run in the background, the lock held
during the write may conflict with other simultaneous processes, causing
them to fail. Scripts running <code>status</code> in the background should consider
using <code>git --no-optional-locks status</code> (see <a href="git.html">git(1)</a> for details).</p></div>
