Automatically show status after git add

Question

My usual git workflow is

<make changes>
git add FILES
git status
git commit -m "some remarks"

where I need the git status just to check if I added the correct files.

Is there a way to tell git to automatically display the status after each git add?

Answer 1

When run with -v (verbose) option, git add outputs the name of files that were added:

» git add -v hello?
add 'hello1'
add 'hello2'

Answer 2

Here's what I have using the answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/26243454 and combining it with devnull's answer:

[alias]
    sadd = !sh -c 'cd -- ${GIT_PREFIX:-.} && git add -- "$@" && git status' --

This way you don't need to pass in the working directory manually.
