如何在不进行暂存的情况下查看git中新创建的文件的列表？

Question

When I create a new file in a local git repo, it doesn't show up in the output of git status unless I add it via git add . Then it will show up under the files that are staged for commit.

When I do a git reset , files that already exist in the remote repo will show up under unstaged files but newly-created ones will not show up at all.

My question is this: Is there a way to show newly-created files in the output of git status without staging them for commit? And if not, is there a "right"--or indeed, any--way of having them show up in the output, without staging them, so I can keep track of which files I created?

Answer 1

git status -u is what you need. You can add "all" ( git status -uall ) for extra detail.

The config option is status.showUntrackedFiles . So if you want to permanently change what you see, try one of these:

git config --global status.showUntrackedFiles normal
git config --global status.showUntrackedFiles all
