Use this:

    git status -uno

which is equivalent to:

    git status --untracked-files=no

It&#39;s a bit hidden in the manuals, but the manpage for status says &quot;supports the same options as git-commit&quot;, so that&#39;s where you&#39;d have to look.

Also:

    git config status.showuntrackedfiles no


Note that, since [git 1.8.3 (April, 22d 2013)][1], you will know about the `--untracked-files=no` even if you didn&#39;t add that option in the first place!

&gt; &quot;`git status`&quot; suggests users to look into using `--untracked-files=no` option when it takes too long.

See [commit https://github.com/git/git/commit/5823eb2b28696bf0eb25f6ca35b303447869f85][2]:

&gt; In some repositories users experience that &quot;`git status`&quot; command takes long time.   
The command spends some time searching the file system for untracked files.

&gt; Explain the trade-off struck by the default choice of `normal` to help users make an appropriate choice better, before talking about the configuration variable.

The [`git status` documentation][3] now states:

&gt; When `-u` option is not used, untracked files and directories are shown (i.e. the same as specifying `normal`), to help you avoid forgetting to add newly created files.   
**Because it takes extra work to find untracked files in the filesystem, this mode may take some
 time in a large working tree.   
You can use `no` to have `git status` return more quickly without showing untracked files**.

&gt; The default can be changed using the **`status.showUntrackedFiles`** configuration variable documented in [`git config`][4].

I have a Bash script that runs a program with parameters.  That program outputs some status (doing this, doing that...). There isn&#39;t any option for this program to be quiet. How can I prevent the script from displaying anything?

With `git rebase --interactive &lt;commit&gt;` you can squash any number of commits together into a single one.

That&#39;s all great unless you want to squash commits into the initial commit. That seems impossible to do.

Are there any ways to achieve it?

### Moderately related:

In a related question, I managed to come up with a different approach to the need of squashing against the first commit, which is, well, to make it the second one.

I have my Git repository which, at the root, has two sub directories:

    /finisht
    /static

When this was in [SVN][1], `/finisht` was checked out in one place, while `/static` was checked out elsewhere, like so:

    svn co svn+ssh://admin@domain.com/home/admin/repos/finisht/static static

Is there a way to do this with Git?

How do I clone a subdirectory only of a Git repository?

Suppose I have 5 local commits. I want to push only 2 of them to a centralized repo (using an SVN-style workflow). How do I do this? 

This did not work: 

    git checkout HEAD~3  #set head to three commits ago
    git push #attempt push from that head

That ends up pushing all 5 local commits. 

I suppose I could do git reset to actually undo my commits, followed by git stash and then git push -- but I&#39;ve already got commit messages written and files organized and I don&#39;t want to redo them. 

My feeling is that some flag passed to push or reset would work. 

If it helps, here&#39;s my git config

    [ramanujan:~/myrepo/.git]$cat config 
    [core]
            repositoryformatversion = 0
            filemode = true
            bare = false
            logallrefupdates = true
    [remote &quot;origin&quot;]
            url = ssh://server/git/myrepo.git
            fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    [branch &quot;master&quot;]
            remote = origin
            merge = refs/heads/master


how do you push only some of your local git commits?

I have a Git repository and I&#39;d like to see how some files looked a few months ago. I found the revision at that date; it&#39;s `27cf8e84bb88e24ae4b4b3df2b77aab91a3735d8`. I need to see what one file looks like, and also save it as a (&quot;new&quot;) file.

I managed to see the file using `gitk`, but it doesn&#39;t have an option to save it. I tried with command-line tools, the closest I got was:

    git-show 27cf8e84bb88e24ae4b4b3df2b77aab91a3735d8 my_file.txt
 
However, this command shows a diff, and not the file contents. I know I can later use something like `PAGER=cat` and redirect output to a file, but I don&#39;t know how to get to the actual file content.

Basically, I&#39;m looking for something like **svn cat**.

SVN made branching much easier by making branches really cheap, but merges remain a real problem in SVN - one that Git supposedly solves.

Does Git achieve this, and how?

What is the best branching strategy to use when you want to do continuous integration?

1. *Release Branching:* develop on trunk, keep a branch for each release.
2. *Feature Branching:* develop each feature in a separate branch, only merge once stable.

Does it make sense to use both of these strategies together?  As in, you branch for each release but you also branch for large features? Does one of these strategies mesh better with continuous integration?  Would using continuous integration even make sense when using an unstable trunk?

I am currently using TortoiseHg (Mercurial) and accidentally committed an incorrect commit message. How do I go about editing this commit message in the repository?


How to edit incorrect commit message in Mercurial?

When doing:
 
    &gt;git status

It shows a big list of .pyc files under &quot;untracked files&quot;.  I don&#39;t want it to show these, as it adds noise.

In other words, how do I make git ignore .pyc files all the time and for all projects?

__EDIT__

I&#39;m not asking for a way to spread my ignored files to other people, I really just mean &quot;for all projects&quot;, meaning I don&#39;t want to configure each new project to ignore .pyc files.

__UPDATE__

I should add that I&#39;m working on windows, and my git is [msysgit](http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/)

&gt;Patterns which a user wants git to ignore in all situations (e.g., backup or temporary files generated by the user&#39;s editor of choice) generally go into a file specified by core.excludesfile in the user&#39;s ~/.gitconfig.

Is .gitconfig a file or a folder? I don&#39;t have such a thing in my home directory (`C:\users\&lt;myusername&gt;\`)

__UPDATE2__

Thanks everybody for the responses, 

I solved the issues by using:

    &gt;git config --global core.excludesfile c:\git\ignore_files.txt

and putting *.pyc in `c:\git\ignore_files.txt`
