title: Git status is not working correctly
body: <p>I don't think that my <code>git status</code> command is working correctly in this terminal session:    </p>
  
  <pre><code>prompt&gt; git add .
  
  prompt&gt; git status
  On branch feature-api_sync
  Changes to be committed:
    (use "git reset HEAD &lt;file&gt;..." to unstage)
  
      modified:   api_sync/README.md
      modified:   storm_tier/README.md
  
  prompt&gt; git commit -m "updated instructions"
  [feature-api_sync 4c55c55] updated instructions
   2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
  
  prompt&gt; git status
  On branch feature-api_sync
  nothing to commit, working directory clean # &lt;== HOW DO I SEE THAT I MADE 1 COMMIT???
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But how do I see this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>prompt&gt; git status
  On branch master
  Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 14 commits.
    (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
  
  nothing to commit, working directory clean
