I'm running version 5.20131224-g692aa01 standalone tarball on linux x86_64 (Linux Mint 15). When I run git-annex status in the terminal I get no output.
I've tried:
- system linked (
ln -s) thegit-annex,git-annex-shell, andgit-annex-webappto~/bin/which is on my PATH - run the
runshellprogram from the terminal
Other things to consider:
- I've just upgraded the repo from version 3 to version 5
- Repo was created using git-annex version 3
- I don't use assistant or the webapp
- Only used from my terminal
- Repo is in indirect mode
What do I need to do to see the results of git-annex status? in my terminal?

Run
git annex infoinstead. That is what older versions of git-annex calledgit annex statusMeanwhile,
git annex statusis now likegit status-- it shows an overview of uncommitted changes in your work tree.
