Added hint about using .gitignore in git status while printing untracked files
Basically, many users don't come to know about .gitignore functionality in
their starting stages of git and wonder over how to keep the build or doc files
without tracking by git. So, if we add a line saying about gitignore
while printing
help to add untracked files in git status output, it can be very useful
