How to see untracked files in git instead of untracked directory

Question

git status shows directory (e.g smaller_fc) is untracked. However, I want to see exactly which files inside the directories (e.g smaller_fc) are untracked.

I would like to know if .gitignore is indeed ignoring certain subdir inside smaller_fc dir.

Here is terminal output.

$ git status On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add ..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- ..." to discard changes in working directory)

modified:   .gitignore 

Untracked files: (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed)

nets/models/500K_iterations/500K_iteration_eval.txt nets/models/from_solverstate_150K/ nets/models/pretrained_model/ nets/models/smaller_fc/ 

.gitignore file:

.cproject .project .pydevproject build *~ *.pyc *.caffemodel */solverstate/* 

directory structure:

root -models --model1 ---solverstate ----somefiles.txt --model2 ---solverstate ----anotherfiles.txt .gitignore 

Could not find it on google.

Answer 1

If git only shows that the directory is untracked, then every file in it (including files in subdirectories) is untracked.

If you have some ignored files in the directory, pass the -u flag when running git status (i.e., git status -u) to show the status of individual untracked files.
