|
||||
shows what would be committed if the same options are given to
|
||||
`git-commit`.
|

|

If any paths have been touched in the working tree (that is,
|
||||
their modification times have changed) but their contents and
|
||||
permissions are identical to those in the index file, the command
|
||||
updates the index file. Running `git-status` can thus speed up
|
||||
subsequent operations such as `git-diff` if the working tree
|
||||
contains many paths that have been touched but not modified.
