When i run «git status» on a cloned git repo with build files around i get

$ git status # On branch master # Untracked files: # (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed) # # git-help--browse nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

So i think something like this is needed
Thanks for your time.

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to
lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores
the fact that it was he who, by peddling second-rate technology, led
them into it in the first place.
