In NeogitStatus how do I stage a single file in a directory with 2 untracked files.

[rluiten]

I am new to neogit so maybe I am just missing an option or behavior.

Scenario 'data' contains 'main.config' and 'other.config'.

• data/ -- untracked currently
  • main.config -- untracked currently
  • other.config -- untracked currently

Launch Neogit to status and I see
v Untracked files (1)
> data/

If I press <tab> on that line it shows
v Untracked files (1)
v data/

It does not show untracked files inside the folder as I expected.
I've tried the Depth settings 1,2,3,4 but no affect on seeing files inside data
I've tried "OpenTree" on the data with no affect.

Alternative which I don't think is a great solution but doable.
If I stage the directory with "s" then all files are staged.
I can then go and unstage other.config

Now I see
v Untracked files (1)
> data/other.config

v Staged changes (1)
> new file data/main.config

What I find interesting is that Untracked now shows the untracked file with data/ which I like but doesn't help much with my current starting point.

Am I just missing an option or command here?

EDIT by me.
I believe I understand now why files inside the data folder due to a comment elsewhere about it just presenting data from git status. It's still against my expectations in neogit.

Correct, neogit just shows a projection of git status - I believe this will help:

I still regularly learn more about git despite having used it for many years now :).
Thank you.

Honestly, same 😅

For anyone in the future, CKolkey was referencing this:

Untracked Files                                 *neogit_status_buffer_untracked*
  Neogit respects status.showUntrackedFiles. It can be set to "no" to hide
  untracked files entirely, "normal" to show files and directories (default),
  or "all" to show all files in all directories.

You can configure status.showUntrackedFiles through Git config.
