How to get git-status of a single folder in a non-recursive way (not showing its subfolders)

Question

How can I get git-status of a single folder in a non-recursive way?

This is not a duplicate of this question since they address there how to git-status a single folder and it subdirectories, e.g. the accepted answer there is to use git status . which returns a recursive result.

go into the desired folder and the use:

git status .

This will display the status of the given folder which you are in right now.

Another option is to use:

git ls-files -t -o -m <desired path>

This would display all files changed but not updated (unstaged), or untracked for the given directory.

Non recursive way:

In the desired folder use the combination of git status + grep to filter the results

git status | grep -v /

This answer ignores my question.. I asked how to get `git-status` **in a non-recursive way** – Yuval Atzmon Dec 06 '15 at 05:37
Thanks, should it be `git status | grep -v /` or `git status . | grep -v /`? – Yuval Atzmon Dec 09 '15 at 19:41
