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 + +-z:: + \0 line termination on output and do not quote filenames. + See OUTPUT FORMAT below for more information. + +--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> + +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. + +Without the `-z` option, pathnames with "unusual" characters are +quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath` +(see linkgit:git-config[1]). Using `-z` the filename is output +verbatim and the line is terminated by a NUL byte. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
