`git status` shows (between more) `git diff --cached --name-only` and `git diff --name-only`?

Question

Am I right if I state that git status shows (if we disregard untracked files)

git diff --cached --name-only (with green color)

and

git diff --name-only (with red color)

Is that true?

Answer 1

Essentially, yes, assuming you're talking about the long form git status output (in the short form the same information is squeezed into just two letters at the front of each file). Note also that the colors are configurable; green and red are simply the defaults.
