The command "git status -sb" is used to display the current status of your git repository in a simplified and concise format. Here is the breakdown of each component:
-
"git status" is a command in Git that shows the current status of your repository. It displays information about any modified, added, deleted, or untracked files, as well as the currently checked-out branch.
-
"-s" is short for "--short" and it provides a more compact and concise output for the status command. It displays the status of files in a shortened format.
-
"-b" is short for "--branch" and it includes information about the current branch you are on in the output. It displays the branch name next to each file.
So, when you run "git status -sb", you will see a list of all modified, added, deleted, or untracked files in your repository, along with a single-character code indicating the status of each file. Additionally, it will show the name of the currently checked-out branch next to each file. This can be useful to quickly check the status and branch information of your repository in a more concise manner.
