git-ls-tree − List the contents of a tree object
git
ls−tree [−d] [−r] [−t]
[−l] [−z]
[−−name−only]
[−−name−status]
[−−full−name]
[−−full−tree]
[−−abbrev[=<n>]]
<tree−ish> [<path>...]
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.
<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.
−−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.
<mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
Unless the −z option is used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters in pathnames are represented as \t, \n, and \\, respectively. 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.
