Git status shows all the files is it correct?

This is what I read from http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository

$ git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working directory clean

but in my case it shows all the file from the ~ home directory. Is that correct?

It sounds like you ran git init in your home directory. This can be quite problematic; check that this is the case by checking if ~/.git/ exists. If it does, you should remove that.

And remember that a bare git init will initialize a repo in the current directory, so you only want to run that in a new directory you've created for your project. Alternatively you can run git init <path> and git will initialize a new repo in the given path.
