How can I make git show a list of the files that are being tracked?

Question

Using command line git, how can I make git show a list of the files that are being tracked in the repository?

Answer 1

You might want colored output with this.

I use this one-liner for listing the tracked files and directories in the current directory of the current branch:

ls --group-directories-first --color=auto -d $(git ls-tree $(git branch | grep \* | cut -d " " -f2) --name-only)

You might want to add it as an alias:

alias gl='ls --group-directories-first --color=auto -d $(git ls-tree $(git branch | grep \* | cut -d " " -f2) --name-only)'

If you want to recursively list files:

'ls' --color=auto -d $(git ls-tree -rt $(git branch | grep \* | cut -d " " -f2) --name-only)

And an alias:

alias glr="'ls' --color=auto -d \$(git ls-tree -rt \$(git branch | grep \\* | cut -d \" \" -f2) --name-only)"
