| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-write-tree - Create a tree object from the current index |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git write-tree' [--missing-ok] [--prefix=<prefix>/] |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Creates a tree object using the current index. The name of the new |
| tree object is printed to standard output. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| --prefix=<prefix>/:: |
| Writes a tree object that represents a subdirectory |
| `<prefix>`. This can be used to write the tree object |
| for a subproject that is in the named subdirectory. |
