how to list all files that will be comitted

[Rhodes, Kate]

I know ls-files is the tool I need but I haven't been able to figure  
out what combination of options will give me the files that have been  
added to the index.

Have you tried "git status" ?  It will output something similar to the
following:

# On branch master
# Changes to be committed:
#   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
#
#	modified:   somefile
#
# Changed but not updated:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#
#	modified:   anotherfile
#

yeah, but i was hoping for plumbing, not porcelain, that showed just  
what i wanted so that i didn't have to parse status' output.

Unless you want a listing of all the files in the index, you probably
want to call diff-index.

  git diff-index --cached <tree-ish>

gives you the diff between the index and a tree-ish. With the
--name-only option, you get only the filenames and not all the modes,
blob sha1s, etc.

I wasn't able to make "git ls-files" do what you want.  However, "git
diff --name-only --cached" did.  It's still porcelain, but it does what
you want :)

`git status` will do this, unless you need to do additional processing
on the results.

I don't think git ls-files does that, but

git diff --cached --name-only

will.
