Command "git status -u no" filters tracked files also
git
Solution
Try:
git status --untracked-files=no
The complete argument form works. But actually, if you are using the abbreviation, you need to remove the space between `-u` and the mode:
git status -uno
Oleh Prypin helpfully comments that `git status -u` accepts an optional argument (defaults to `all`). `-u no` would be ambiguous just like `--untracked-files no`, because `git status -u some_file.txt` has to keep working.
Problem
I want to see the status of the working directory and the index but not untracked files. The git-status doc http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-status.html tells that the -u switch will filter untracked files. But the following command ``` git status -u no ``` filters untracked files and also filters the modifications of the tracked files in the working tree and the index.
