If it is an initial commit or not
List of the unstage/untracked files(which are newly ADDED or modified but not added to staging/index) List of the files PENDING to commit(these files are previously added to stating/index)

If there is no file/folder to add or commit then it will just display name of the branch and MESSAGE "NOTHING to commit, working directory clean"
