| 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] [--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'. | |
| -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 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. | |
| 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. | |
