Re: Definition of working directory

So if I have a project called MyProject and inside that I have two

Your working tree is MyProject that has two subdirectories dir1 and dir2.

Also if i create some file in dir1 and do git status without git add
then it display untracked files as ../dir1/
It doesn't display the untracked file name but after I do git add when
I did git status it does give me file under changes to be
committed. Why didn't it shows file with name as untracked in first
case?

Because often such a directory has tons of garbage files that are totally
uninteresting.  Check "git help status" and look for the --untracked-files
option if you want to learn more.
