In our company we are using git.
If I have some file which isn't there and I run command gitk, I can see red dot with description:

Local uncomitted changes, not checked in to index

Now I create new repository in GitHub because I want to work with this tool more efficiently.
But here when I have some file which isn't committed, I can't see any red dot when I run gitk.
Is there some option how to set this ?

That can happen, as described in this thread, when:

You are on a case-insensitive file system.
The linux kernel source requires a case-sensitive file system because the sources contain both of these files:

include/linux/netfilter/xt_connmark.h
include/linux/netfilter/xt_CONNMARK.h

Since GitHub is on a case-sensitive filesystem, it won't be affected by this issue (hence no "red-dot").
