Aaw come on! Why fire up perl for such a simple task? Just use sed: git status | sed ‘/Untracked files/q’ Please learn to use the right tools for the right tasks. Perl is _not_ the answer to everything (despite most Perl kids do think so). Reply
mkl – actually, here is a better sed alternative: git status | sed -n -e’/Untracked files:/q’ -ep It filters out that last redundant “Untracked Files” line. I’m new to git and amazed there is not a standard “git status” option to do this?! I use “svn st -q” all the time. Reply
You may find git diff –summary more rewarding.

Now you can simply type “git status -uno”
Thanks!
