Configure git to always show absolute paths

Question

How to configure git to always show absolute paths?

Example for git status -uno :

Actual behavior (relevant paths):

    new file:   xxx/xxx.c

Wanted behavior (absolute paths):

    new file:   /home/zzz/xxx/xxx.c

Answer 1

I don't think you can get git status to show absolute paths, but you can configure it to show paths relative to the git root, see man git-status for details:

If the config variable status.relativePaths is set to false , then all paths shown are relative to the repository root, not to the current directory.

~repo/src $ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    a.txt

And

~repo/src $ git config --global status.relativePaths false

~repo/src $ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
    src/a.txt
