Add way to get only topmost untracked folders/files #996
Description
Activity
Indeed it would be nice to have additional options to make GitPython more like 'porcelain', and less like the 'plumbing' it was intended to be.
The recommended action is to transform the returned set of untracked files into the form that Git provides. This algorithm could potentially be donated back to GitPython, which supports it using an additional function, maybe along the line of
repo.status.Thanks for understanding that GitPython is in maintenance mode and thus is hesitant to take on feature requests unless they are accompanied by a PR implementing them.
Please feel free to comment on the closed issue if there are any follow-up questions.
Hello, thanks for the response.
For the time being I Implemented a workaround that calls git directly.
I am not sure if this is useful for you, but here is the code:import subprocess command = ["git", "ls-files", "--others", "--directory", "--exclude-standard", "--no-empty-directory"] process = subprocess.Popen(command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE) untracked_files_and_folders = [u.decode().strip() for u in process.stdout]Reacted by Sebastian Thiel- locked and limited conversation to collaborators

Let's say I have a new folder with three new files in it.
When I use
git statusit will show like this:But when I use GitPython's
repo.untracked_filesit will show like this:Is there a way to get the same result as the
git statusversion?
