The command git status -s is used to view the status of Git repository files in a short and concise format.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

• git status: This is the main command that is used to check the current status of the Git repository. It provides information about any changes, commits, or untracked files in the repository.

• -s or --short: This flag is used to display the status in a short, summarized format. With this flag, git status provides a two-column output, where the first column displays the status codes and the second column shows the file paths.

The status codes used in the short format are as follows:

• ??: This code indicates untracked files that are not being ignored by Git.

• A: This code means that a file has been added to the staging area and is ready to be committed.

• M: This code signifies that a file has been modified since the last commit.

• D: This code represents a file that has been deleted.

• R: This code denotes a file that has been renamed.

• C: This code indicates a file that has been copied.

• U: This code shows that there are conflicts in the file.

By using git status -s, you get a quick overview of the current state of your repository and any changes made to the files. The short format makes it easier to scan and understand the status of multiple files at once.
