git-status

I unzipped an older "git-image" onto my git repository and most of the files have been changed. I would like to know which files remained untouched. How to list these files? Chris Maes I didn't find anything purely git, but with some bash it is possible: ( git ls-files --modified ; git ls-files ) | sort | uniq -u explanation git ls-files lists all files tracked by git git ls-files --modified lists all the modified files tracked by git the rest is some bash scripting to remove the duplicates from both lists. Maybe, if you unzip a archive, you may also won't use git but unzip -u ? It echos (the

If I run 'git status' on my repo it gives: # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage) # # modified: myfile However, if I do a 'git diff myfile' it shows no differences. Is this because I have made a change and removed it so it is back to the original? Should I run 'git checkout myfile' to clear it? Your file is already staged to be committed.

I have a scenario in which there a several remote tracking branches within my local repository that I must sync up to. Our workflow model is: make a branch locally, based off of the desired remote tracking branch make our changes build/test/fix commit push back to the remote server I've noticed that "git status" doesn't show me what branch my local branch is based on unless something has changed; i.e. uncommitted local changes or a recent fetch puts my local branch behind the times. Is there some way of knowing what branch my local branch is based on without having to change things? Something
