git-ls-tree(1) ============== NAME ---- git-ls-tree - List the contents of a tree object SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] 'git ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z] [--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--full-tree] [--abbrev[=<n>]] <tree-ish> [<path>...] DESCRIPTION ----------- Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory. Note that: - the behaviour is slightly different from that of "/bin/ls" in that the '<path>' denotes 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. - the behaviour is similar to that of "/bin/ls" in that the '<path>' is taken as relative to the current working directory. E.g. when you are in a directory 'sub' that has a directory 'dir', you can run 'git ls-tree -r HEAD dir' to list the contents of the tree (that is 'sub/dir' in 'HEAD'). You don't want to give a tree that is not at the root level (e.g. `git ls-tree -r HEAD:sub dir`) in this case, as that would result in asking for 'sub/sub/dir' in the 'HEAD' commit. However, the current working directory can be ignored by passing --full-tree option. 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'. -l:: --long:: Show object size of blob (file) entries. -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 a partial 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. --full-tree:: Do not limit the listing to the current working directory. Implies --full-name. [<path>...]:: 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> Unless the `-z` option is used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively. This output format is compatible with what `--index-info --stdin` of 'git update-index' expects. When the `-l` option is used, format changes to <mode> SP <type> SP <object> SP <object size> TAB <file> Object size identified by <object> is given in bytes, and right-justified with minimum width of 7 characters. Object size is given only for blobs (file) entries; for other entries `-` character is used in place of size. GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
