gogitstatus is a library for finding unstaged/untracked files in local Git repositories
Tested for Linux, FreeBSD and Windows
This library is used in my terminal file manager fen

To try out gogitstatus.Status(), run the showstatus program:

cd showstatus
go build
./showstatus . # In any git repository

To try out gogitstatus.ParseIndex(), run the showindex program:

cd showindex
go build
./showindex index

Run go test -race to run all the tests.

Run go test -fuzz=FuzzParseGitIndexFromMemory to fuzz for crashes in the ParseGitIndexFromMemory() function.

If you are developing on Linux, you can run the ./run_windows_test.sh script to test on "Windows" with wine

• Deal with .git files that point the real .git folder elsewhere (submodules or something)
• Support exclude file priority
• Support SHA-256
• Support other Git Index versions besides 2
