What is git status -uno in git

Question

When I type git status There is message saying

It took 2.39 seconds to enumerate untracked files. 'status -uno'
may speed it up, but you have to be careful not to forget to add
new files yourself (see 'git help status').
nothing to commit, working tree clean

I type git help status and read but not understand how to get same as git status result

Answer 1

Git is telling you that because you have many untracked files, the result of git status takes longer time than usual.

The fix is to use git status -uno. From the manual:

-u[<mode>]
--untracked-files[=<mode>]

Show untracked files.

The mode parameter is optional (defaults to all), and is used to specify the handling of untracked files; when -u is not used, the default is normal, i.e. show untracked files and directories.

The possible options are:

no - Show no untracked files

normal - Shows untracked files and directories

all - Also shows individual files in untracked directories.
