Question

I wanted to browse the new files created in the repo.

:Pick git_files scope="untracked" shows untracked files along with ignored files. This is because the only argument that get's passed in that case is --others.

  local args = ({
    tracked = { '--cached' },
    modified = { '--modified' },
    untracked = { '--others' },
    ignored = { '--others', '--ignored', '--exclude-standard' },
    deleted = { '--deleted' },
  })[local_opts.scope]

:Pick git_files scope="ignored" has similar behavior to scope="untracked" as far as I can see right now.

untracked needs to have --exclude-standard so that ignored files don't show up in the results, I think?

Technically, this is a documented behavior. The ignored files are (in some sense) not tracked. But yeah, I agree that there needs to be a way to pick only "added" files.

Not quite, as it doesn't show purely "added" files.

I'll take a look.

After having some time to reconsider, I do now think that scope="untracked" was meant to act like described here. I.e. it should show only untracked files that are meant to be tracked.

This should now be fixed on the latest main. Thanks for bringing this up!
