I'm trying to figure out how to easily count the files in my uncommitted index.
I've tried:
git status | grep '#' | wc -l but there are a few lines that start with # that don't represent changed files. Anyone got anything better? Figured there had to be a flag for git status to do this.
Even tools like GitX don't easily allow you to select the staged files/directories and see how many of them there are.

simply typing git status gives you a list of staged files, a list of modified yet unstaged files, and a list of untracked files. @houtanb, git status shows you a diff. (It doesn't show you all staged files).
If your changes are already staged, then there's no difference to show. But there's a command line option that will show you staged changes if you specify it: git diff --staged . With the --staged option, git diff will compare your staged changes against the previous commit.
If you want something a script can use:
git diff --cached --numstat | wc -l
If you want something human readable:
git diff --cached --stat

This worked for me:
git status | grep 'modified:' | wc -l
it returns a number
