| git-ls-tree(1) |
| ============== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-ls-tree - Lists the contents of a tree object |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git-ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-t] [-z] |
| [--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--abbrev=[<n>]] |
| <tree-ish> [paths...] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does |
| in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly different, |
| though - 'paths' denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying |
| directory name (without '-r') will behave differently, and order of the |
| arguments does not matter. |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| <tree-ish>:: |
| Id of a tree-ish. |
| |
| -d:: |
| Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children. |
| |
| -r:: |
| Recurse into sub-trees. |
| |
| -t:: |
| Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect |
| if '-r' was not passed. '-d' implies '-t'. |
| |
| -z:: |
| \0 line termination on output. |
| |
| --name-only:: |
| --name-status:: |
| List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line. |
| |
| --abbrev[=<n>]:: |
| Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object |
| lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix. |
| Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. |
| |
| --full-name:: |
| Instead of showing the path names relative to the current working |
| directory, show the full path names. |
| |
| paths:: |
| When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw |
| pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match). Otherwise |
| implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument. |
| |
| |
| Output Format |
| ------------- |
| <mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file> |
| |
| When the `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters |
| in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively. |
