First I did git status on my newly cloned repo
$ git status On branch Test nothing to commit, working directory clean
Now I copies a Test project from another Directory
$ git status
On branch Test
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
Test/
no thing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
Following are the files
$ ls Test -a ./ ../ .classpath .gitignore .project Test.class Test.java
But git diff gives below result
$ git diff
Basically, nothing. But if I stage it and do the git diff -cached it shows as bellow
$ git diff --cached diff --git a/Test/.classpath b/Test/.classpath new file mode 100644 index 0000000..233be1d --- /dev/null +++ b/Test/.classpath @@ -0,0 +1,6 @@ +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<classpath> + <classpathentry kind="src" path=""/> + <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER"/> + <classpathentry kind="output" path=""/> +</classpath> diff --git a/Test/.gitignore b/Test/.gitignore new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a9819ad --- /dev/null +++ b/Test/.gitignore @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +/Test.class diff --git a/Test/.project b/Test/.project new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b6bd205 ....
How can I see above changes without staging it ( i.e. while copied folder is unstaged).
Please explain how git works here. Is it ever possible to see copied folder/file changes without first commit ?
