True, when you rename the file, eventually file does not exist hence the renamed file is not considered. I added a small if-else(just for renamed files) in the above statement to make it work for my use case.
git status --porcelain=v1 | awk {' if ($1 == "R") print $4 ; else print $2'} | xargs -I {} cp -r {} modified_files/
Ah I see. You are actually doing a git mv to rename your files. Yes, you are right, in that case your solution is perfect! Thanks for sharing!
