Question

How do you list tracked files (git ls-files) in magit?

Answer 1

@tarsius is right about the fact that there is currently no built-in command for doing this.

You can, however, do this:

: ls-files RET

: is bound to magit-git-command which allows you to

Execute a Git subcommand asynchronously, displaying the output. With a prefix argument run Git in the root of the current repository. [...]

You can of course automate the process described above by recording a keyboard macro or defining a custom command and binding it to a key sequence of your choice:

(defun magit-ls-files ()
  "List tracked files of current repository."
  (interactive)
  (if (derived-mode-p 'magit-mode)
      (magit-git-command "ls-files" default-directory)
    (message "Not in a Magit buffer.")))

(define-key magit-mode-map (kbd "K") 'magit-ls-files)
