Git Command-Line: Listing All Untracked Files

When a new folder is added to a local Git repo, "git status" only shows the folder name:

C:\repo>git status

On branch bug/jdnark/1234408-Fix-Automation-Unzip

Untracked files:

  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        CICDAutomation/

To see all the files that are untracked, and not just the folder, use the following:

git status --untracked-files=all

An example of the files that are untracked is as follows:

C:\repo>git status --untracked-files=all

On branch bug/jdnark/1234408-Fix-Automation-Unzip

Untracked files:

  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        Automation/.gitignore

        Automation/Readme.md

        Automation/get_logs.py

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
