I have a git repo and I have changes in different directories.

user@box:~/myrepo$ git st
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   emacs/basic.el
    modified:   emacs/elisp.el
    modified:   tips/emacs-tips.org
    modified:   tips/linux-tips.org

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

    emacs/wip.el
    tips/sqlite.org

no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")

Using command line I can select to show my changes on a selected directory.
For example:

user@box:~/myrepo$ git st emacs/
On branch master
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

    modified:   emacs/basic.el

    emacs/wip.el

How can I do that in magit, if possible?

You can filter the status buffer diffs to a directory. Starting from the status buffer, try typing D=f, entering "emacs/", and then g.

    Ok, it seems to work, even though the interface is a bit confusing. D stands for Change diffs and =f for Limit to files. I guess I should read magit's manual, to see if it makes more sense. Anyway, thanks!
