git ls-files: howto identify new files (added, not committed)?

Question

After I called git add the command git status will show me something like:

...
new file:    

Answer 1

Clarification: This is a way to show the files that I intend to add. This is not what the OP was looking for, but I'll leave this post in case it's useful to others.

This seems to show only the files that I have added [to my working copy, not the index] but aren't matched by my standard ignore patterns:

 $ git ls-files --others --exclude-standard

Without --exclude-standard, it also shows files that are ignored when I run git status.
