DETAILS¶
'repo status' compares the working tree to the staging area (aka index), and the most recent commit on this branch (HEAD), in each project specified. A summary is displayed, one line per file where there is a difference between these three states.
The -j/--jobs option can be used to run multiple status queries in parallel.
The -o/--orphans option can be used to show objects that are in the working directory, but not associated with a repo project. This includes unmanaged top-level files and directories, but also includes deeper items. For example, if dir/subdir/proj1 and dir/subdir/proj2 are repo projects, dir/subdir/proj3 will be shown if it is not known to repo.
Status Display
The status display is organized into three columns of information, for example if the file 'subcmds/status.py' is modified in the project 'repo' on branch 'devwork':
- project repo/
 - branch devwork
 - -m
 - subcmds/status.py
 
The first column explains how the staging area (index) differs from the last commit (HEAD). Its values are always displayed in upper case and have the following meanings:
- -:
 - no difference
 - A:
 - added (not in HEAD, in index )
 - M:
 - modified ( in HEAD, in index, different content )
 - D:
 - deleted ( in HEAD, not in index )
 - R:
 - renamed (not in HEAD, in index, path changed )
 - C:
 - copied (not in HEAD, in index, copied from another)
 - T:
 - mode changed ( in HEAD, in index, same content )
 - U:
 - unmerged; conflict resolution required
 
The second column explains how the working directory differs from the index. Its values are always displayed in lower case and have the following meanings:
