Git show, shows all files as changed after fresh clone

As the question says, after I do a fresh clone of a repo, a git show, shows a lot of files as changed, but I haven't yet touched any of the files. A git diff gives nothing.

I need to make changes and see the changes using a git show, but only my own changes. The git show currently isn't letting me do this.

I checked out the following question, but I don't have a .gitattributes file.

Files showing as modified directly after git clone


EDIT : Using git on linux.

git show is used to show all the changes of between HEAD and HEAD~1.

I think what you are looking for is git diff --cached. (Assuming you have already staged your changes using git add)
