[{ filename: '.editorconfig', status: 'Deleted' }]

showCommitted & showUnCommitted

Type: boolean Default: true

Examples:

Case 1:

By default, it lists all the changed files.

{ committedFiles: [ '.editorconfig', '.travis.yml', 'destroy.js', 'index.js' ], unCommittedFiles: ['index.js'] }

Case 2:

If showUnCommitted is false then output will be

{ committedFiles: [ '.editorconfig', '.travis.yml', 'destroy.js', 'index.js' ] }

Case 3:

If showCommitted is false then output will be

{ unCommittedFiles: ['index.js'] }

Case 4:

If both options are false then it will throw an error.

Either showCommitted or showUnCommitted must be true
