Indexing. For every tracked file, Git records information such as its size, creation time and last modification time in a file known as the index. To determine whether a file has changed, Git compares its current stats with those cached in the index. If they match, then Git can skip reading the file again.
As you edit files, Git sees them as modified, because you've changed them since your last commit. As you work, you selectively stage these modified files and then commit all those staged changes, and the cycle repeats.
The easiest way to add all files to your Git repository is to use the “git add” command followed by the “-A” option for “all”. In this case, the new (or untracked), deleted and modified files will be added to your Git staging area. We also say that they will be staged.
To add and commit files to a Git repository Enter git status to see the changes to be committed. Enter git commit -m '<commit_message>' at the command line to commit new files/changes to the local repository. For the <commit_message>, you can enter anything that describes the changes you are committing.
You can't do this with git status, but you could use git ls-files -m to show all modified files.
It looks like git status -uno will show you only files that git is tracking, without showing anything else in the directory. Not exactly what you asked for, but perhaps accomplishes the same thing (getting a readable-length list of files that git tracks).
git status -s | awk '{if ($1 == "M") print $2}'
For modified files:
git status | grep modified:
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=M
git diff --name-only works too.
I was looking for the same info and found following gives modified files:
git status -uno
