Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)
 have macos and I have some commands possibly remapped like gsed, gfind to sed, find

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
git ls-files -d to show deleted files in my repository

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
nothing is shown, I enabled GIT_TRACE=1, and started bash incase oh-my-zsh might have been interfereing, and got similar results

$ git ls-files -d
09:42:47.692880 exec-cmd.c:139          trace: resolved executable path from Darwin stack: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git
09:42:47.693591 exec-cmd.c:238          trace: resolved executable dir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin
09:42:47.695053 git.c:444               trace: built-in: git ls-files -d

09:42:47.765919 git.c:444               trace: built-in: git config --get oh-my-zsh.hide-dirty

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?
I have several directories I'd like to delete temporarily so I can simplify and study build processes

    What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)
    git ls-files -d to show deleted files in my repository

    What happened instead? (Actual behavior)
    nothing is shown

Does not reproduce to me.

    $ git reset --hard
    $ git ls-files -s COPYING
    100644 536e55524db72bd2acf175208aef4f3dfc148d42 0	COPYING
    $ ls -1 COPYING
    COPYING
    $ git ls-files -d; echo no output
    no output
    $ rm COPYING
    $ git ls-files -d
    COPYING

Did you remove any file?  "ls-files -d" reports the working tree
files that have been removed that are still known by the index.
So, after all of the above

    $ git rm --cached COPYING
    $ git ls-files -d; echo no output
    no output

is perfectly expected.

Unlike "git ls-files" that checks the working files against what is in
the index, "git status" checks them against both the index and the
HEAD, so after all of the above, it would notice the removal
relative to HEAD:

    $ git status -uno --porcelain
    D  COPYING

HTH.
