git-write-tree(1)
=================

NAME
----
git-write-tree - Creates a tree object from the current index


SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-write-tree' [--missing-ok]

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Creates a tree object using the current index.

The index must be in a fully merged state.

Conceptually, `git-write-tree` sync()s the current index contents
into a set of tree files.
In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right
now, you need to have done a `git-update-index` phase before you did the
`git-write-tree`.


OPTIONS
-------
--missing-ok::
	Normally `git-write-tree` ensures that the objects referenced by the
	directory exist in the object database.  This option disables this
	check.
