Your requirements are not quite clear.

If you want to see only untracked files that match the .gitignore filter then

git ls-files --other --exclude-standard --ignored|grep -v /

If you want to see only untracked files that do not match the .gitignore filter then

git ls-files --other --exclude-standard|grep -v /

Used options of git ls-files:

-o, --others Show other (i.e. untracked) files in the output

-i, --ignored Show only ignored files in the output. When showing files in the index, print only those matched by an exclude pattern. When showing "other" files, show only those matched by an exclude pattern.

--exclude-standard Add the standard Git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore in each directory, and the user’s global exclusion file.

Files not from the current directory are filtered out with grep.
