6 git-ls-tree - List the contents of a tree object
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 [verse]
12 'git-ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-t] [-z]
13 [--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--abbrev=[<n>]]
14 <tree-ish> [paths...]
16 DESCRIPTION
17 -----------
18 Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
19 in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly different,
20 though - 'paths' denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying
21 directory name (without '-r') will behave differently, and order of the
22 arguments does not matter.
24 OPTIONS
25 -------
26 <tree-ish>::
27 Id of a tree-ish.
29 -d::
30 Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children.
32 -r::
33 Recurse into sub-trees.
35 -t::
36 Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect
37 if '-r' was not passed. '-d' implies '-t'.
39 -z::
40 \0 line termination on output.
42 --name-only::
43 --name-status::
44 List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line.
46 --abbrev[=<n>]::
47 Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
48 lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix.
49 Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.
51 --full-name::
52 Instead of showing the path names relative to the current working
53 directory, show the full path names.
55 paths::
56 When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw
57 pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match). Otherwise
58 implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument.
61 Output Format
62 -------------
63 <mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
65 When the `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
66 in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively.
