NAME
git-ls-tree - List the contents of a tree objectSYNOPSIS
git ls-tree [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z] [--name-only] [--name-status] [--object-only] [--full-name] [--full-tree] [--abbrev[=<n>]] [--format=<format>] <tree-ish> [<path>...]
DESCRIPTION
Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory. 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\0 line termination on output and do not quote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. Cannot be combined with
--object-only.
--object-only
List only names of the objects, one per line.
Cannot be combined with --name-only or --name-status. This is
equivalent to specifying --format='%(objectname)', but for both this
option and that exact format the command takes a hand-optimized codepath
instead of going through the generic formatting mechanism.
--abbrev[=<n>]
Instead of showing the full 40-byte
hexadecimal object lines, show the shortest prefix that is at least
<n> hexdigits long that uniquely refers the object. 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.
--format=<format>
A string that interpolates %(fieldname)
from the result being shown. It also interpolates %% to %, and
%xx where xx are hex digits interpolates to character with hex
code xx; for example %00 interpolates to \0 (NUL),
%09 to \t (TAB) and %0a to \n (LF). When
specified, --format cannot be combined with other format-altering
options, including --long, --name-only and
--object-only.
[<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
The output format of ls-tree is determined by either the --format option, or other format-altering options such as --name-only etc. (see --format above).%(objectmode) %(objecttype) %(objectname)%x09%(path)
%(objectmode) %(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize:padded)%x09%(path)
git ls-tree --format='%(objectname) %(path)' <tree-ish>
FIELD NAMES
Various values from structured fields can be used to interpolate into the resulting output. For each outputing line, the following names can be used: objectmodeThe mode of the object.
objecttype
The type of the object (commit,
blob or tree).
objectname
The name of the object.
objectsize[:padded]
The size of a blob object
("-" if it’s a commit or tree). It also
supports a padded format of size with "%(objectsize:padded)".
path
The pathname of the object.
