Get status of working directory

To see what files in the working directory have changes that have not been staged, use git status.

If you have no changes in the working directory, you’ll see something like this:

$ git status
on branch issue-178-docsissue
nothing to commit, working directory clean

If you have unstaged changes, you’ll see something like this:

On branch issue-178-docsissue
Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
  
  docs/introduction.md

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
