It is not easy for me to understand all the various contexts which show files (and those contexts' names, and the commands to see into them) in git, yet.. but now thanks to you I know better where to look (and reread) in various docs. >> I would sort that untracked file listing for ease of reading.. but I do >> not >> know how (if it is even possible)... is there an option for 'git status >> -?' >> that causes the list to sort alphabetically?

(That makes no sense to me.) > $ git status -s | grep "^?" | sort Apparently, I do not know how to use this that you gave me ^^^ . So far, nothing I tried for generating a 'git status' listing would make the (more-than-one, and separate) alphabetical clumps of file names sort into just ONE homogenous alphabetical list. for example: [Govindas-iMac-2:SS_site_root] Govind% git status -s sort [Govindas-iMac-2:SS_site_root] Govind% git status -s A VL_ShowMan.html ??

The first one spans the files: ?? CSS/ . . . ?? WelcometoNewVL.html ...while the second list spans the files: ?? _SS_Govinda_only.php . . . ?? upload_CORRECT.html My knowledge CL is limited, so I apologize in case you have already answered me and I just do not yet see it. Can you show me an example for a git status *sorted* command I could copy and paste into CL directly.. that would thus show me how to apply what you told me... so I can sort the file names into ONE homogenous alphabetical list?
