status

Print the status of the files and scripts managed by chezmoi in a format similar to git status.

The first column of output indicates the difference between the last state written by chezmoi and the actual state. The second column indicates the difference between the actual state and the target state, and what effect running chezmoi apply will have.

Character	Meaning	First column	Second column
