How to list all unchanged (tracked) files?

Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Maybe, if you unzip a archive, you may also won't use git but unzip -u? It echos (the name of) all updated files and you may extract the list with sed or something if you like...
