Today I learned you can show the git status for a specific directory simply by specifying it. e.g., for the current directory:

git status .

#git #dev #devTips

@aral so git status is the current dir and down and git status . doesn’t recurse down?

@shanselman That’s the effect I’m seeing :)

@aral @shanselman hmm, I just checked that, and I see that it still shows me the same thing in case of using "git status" and "git status ."
However, when I do "git status <folder>" it is in fact showing changes from this folder only, ignoring changes from outside of it.
