=git status= or =git ls-files= will list the files in different statuses.

If there are no other files, such as backup file produced by editor,
you can run =git add .=. If there are, try to configure in file
=.git/info/exclude= or =.gitignore=.

Changed files can be committed automatically by =git commit -a=
