 <dt class="hdlist1">
 -s
 </dt>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --short
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Give the output in the short-format.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 -b
 </dt>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --branch
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show the branch and tracking info even in short-format.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --porcelain
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Give the output in an easy-to-parse format for scripts.
  This is similar to the short output, but will remain stable
  across Git versions and regardless of user configuration. See
  below for details.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --long
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Give the output in the long-format. This is the default.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 -u[&lt;mode&gt;]
 </dt>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --untracked-files[=&lt;mode&gt;]

 <dd>
 <p>
  Show untracked files.
 </p>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The mode parameter is optional (defaults to <em>all</em>), and is used to
 specify the handling of untracked files.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The possible options are:</p></div>
 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>no</em> - Show no untracked files.
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>normal</em> - Shows untracked files and directories.
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 <em>all</em> - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
 </p>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>When <code>-u</code> option is not used, untracked files and directories are
 shown (i.e. the same as specifying <code>normal</code>), to help you avoid
 forgetting to add newly created files. Because it takes extra work
 to find untracked files in the filesystem, this mode may take some
 time in a large working tree. You can use <code>no</code> to have <code>git status</code>
 return more quickly without showing untracked files.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The default can be changed using the status.showUntrackedFiles
 configuration variable documented in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a>.</p></div>
 </li>
 </ul></div>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --ignore-submodules[=&lt;when&gt;]
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Ignore changes to submodules when looking for changes. &lt;when&gt; can be
  either "none", "untracked", "dirty" or "all", which is the default.
  Using "none" will consider the submodule modified when it either contains
  untracked or modified files or its HEAD differs from the commit recorded
  in the superproject and can be used to override any settings of the
  <em>ignore</em> option in <a href="git-config.html">git-config(1)</a> or <a href="gitmodules.html">gitmodules(5)</a>. 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). Using "all" hides all changes to submodules
  (and suppresses the output of submodule summaries when the config option
  <code>status.submodulesummary</code> is set).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --ignored
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show ignored files as well.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 -z
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Terminate entries with NUL, instead of LF. This implies
  the <code>--porcelain</code> output format if no other format is given.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --column[=&lt;options&gt;]
 </dt>
 <dt class="hdlist1">
 --no-column
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Display untracked files in columns. See configuration variable
  column.status for option syntax.<code>--column</code> and <code>--no-column</code>
  without options are equivalent to <em>always</em> and <em>never</em>
  respectively.

 <h2 id="_output">OUTPUT</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The output from this command is designed to be used as a commit
 template comment, and all the output lines are prefixed with <em>#</em>.
 The default, long format, is designed to be human readable,
 verbose and descriptive. Its contents and format are subject to change
 at any time.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The paths mentioned in the output, unlike many other Git commands, are
 made relative to the current directory if you are working in a
 subdirectory (this is on purpose, to help cutting and pasting). See
 the status.relativePaths config option below.</p></div>
 <div class="sect2">
 <h3 id="_short_format">Short Format</h3>
 <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><code>XY PATH1 -&gt; PATH2</code></pre>
 </div></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>where <code>PATH1</code> is the path in the <code>HEAD</code>, and the " <code>-&gt; PATH2</code>" part is
 shown only when <code>PATH1</code> 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 <code>-&gt;</code>) 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, <code>X</code> and <em>Y</em> show the modification
 states of each side of the merge. For paths that do not have merge
 conflicts, <code>X</code> shows the status of the index, and <code>Y</code> shows the status
 of the work tree. For untracked paths, <code>XY</code> are <code>??</code>. Other status
 codes can be interpreted as follows:</p></div>
 <div class="ulist"><ul>
 <li>
 <p>
 ' ' = unmodified

 <em>M</em> = modified

 <em>A</em> = added

 <em>U</em> = updated but unmerged
 </p>

 </ul></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>Ignored files are not listed, unless <code>--ignored</code> option is in effect,
 in which case <code>XY</code> are <code>!!</code>.</p></div>

 <div class="sect2">
 <h3 id="_porcelain_format">Porcelain Format</h3>
 <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. This makes it ideal for parsing by scripts.
 The description of the short format above also describes the porcelain
 format, with a few exceptions:</p></div>
 <div class="olist arabic"><ol class="arabic">
 <li>
 <p>
 The user&#8217;s color.status configuration is not respected; color will
  always be off.
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 The user&#8217;s status.relativePaths configuration is not respected; paths
  shown will always be relative to the repository root.
 </p>
 </li>
 </ol></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>There is also an alternate -z format recommended for machine parsing. In
 that format, the status field is the same, but some other things
 change. First, the <em>-&gt;</em> is omitted from rename entries and the field
 order is reversed (e.g <em>from -&gt; 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.</p></div>

 <h2 id="_configuration">CONFIGURATION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="paragraph"><p>The command honors <code>color.status</code> (or <code>status.color</code>&#8201;&#8212;&#8201;they
 mean the same thing and the latter is kept for backward
 compatibility) and <code>color.status.&lt;slot&gt;</code> configuration variables
 to colorize its output.</p></div>
 <div class="paragraph"><p>If the config variable <code>status.relativePaths</code> 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 <code>status.submodulesummary</code> 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>
