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).

See the status.relativePaths config option below.</p></div> <h3 id="_short_format">Short Format</h3><div style="clear:left"></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>In the short-format, the status of each path is shown as</p></div> <div class="literalblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><tt>XY PATH1 -> PATH2</tt></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>where <tt>PATH1</tt> is the path in the <tt>HEAD</tt>, and the ` -> PATH2` part is shown only when <tt>PATH1</tt> corresponds to a different path in the index/worktree (i.e. the file is renamed). The <em>XY</em> is a two-letter status code.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>The fields (including the <tt>-></tt>) 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.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>For paths with merge conflicts, <tt>X</tt> and <em>Y</em> show the modification states of each side of the merge. For paths that do not have merge conflicts, <tt>X</tt> shows the status of the index, and <tt>Y</tt> shows the status of the work tree. For untracked paths, <tt>XY</tt> are <tt>??</tt>. Other status codes can be interpreted as follows:</p></div> <div class="ulist"><ul> <li> <p> ' ' = unmodified </p> </li> <li> <p> <em>M</em> = modified </p> </li> <li> <p> <em>A</em> = added </p> </li> <li> <p> <em>D</em> = deleted </p> </li> <li> <p> <em>R</em> = renamed </p> </li> <li> <p> <em>C</em> = copied </p> </li> <li> <p> <em>U</em> = updated but unmerged </p> </li> </ul></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>Ignored files are not listed.</p></div> <div class="literalblock"> <div class="content"> <pre><tt>X Y Meaning ------------------------------------------------- [MD] not updated M [ MD] updated in index A [ MD] added to index D [ M] 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 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 -------------------------------------------------</tt></pre> </div></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>If -b is used the short-format status is preceded by a line</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>## branchname tracking info</p></div> <h3 id="_porcelain_format">Porcelain Format</h3><div style="clear:left"></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>The 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.

In that format, the status field is the same, but some other things change. First, the <em>-></em> is omitted from rename entries and the field order is reversed (e.g <em>from -> 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. Fourth, there is no branch line.</p></div> </div> <h2 id="_configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="paragraph"><p>The command honors <tt>color.status</tt> (or <tt>status.color</tt> — they mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward compatibility) and <tt>color.status.<slot></tt> configuration variables to colorize its output.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>If the config variable <tt>status.relativePaths</tt> is set to false, then all paths shown are relative to the repository root, not to the current directory.</p></div> <div class="paragraph"><p>If <tt>status.submodulesummary</tt> 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 <a href="git-submodule.html">git-submodule(1)</a>).</p></div> </div> <h2 id="_see_also">SEE ALSO</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="paragraph"><p><a href="gitignore.html">gitignore(5)</a></p></div> </div> <h2 id="_git">GIT</h2> <div class="sectionbody"> <div class="paragraph"><p>Part of the <a href="git.html">git(1)</a> suite</p></div> </div> <div id="footer"> <div id="footer-text"> Last updated 2011-05-31 19:37:07 UTC </div> </div> </body> </html>
