1git-ls-tree(1) 2============== 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-ls-tree - Lists the contents of a tree object. 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11'git-ls-tree' [-d] [-r] [-t] [-z] [--name-only] [--name-status] <tree-ish> [paths...] 12 13DESCRIPTION 14----------- 15Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does 16in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly different, 17though - 'paths' denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying 18directory name (without '-r') will behave differently, and order of the 19arguments does not matter. 20 21OPTIONS 22------- 23<tree-ish>:: 24 Id of a tree-ish. 25 26-d:: 27 Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children. 28 29-r:: 30 Recurse into sub-trees. 31 32-t:: 33 Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect 34 if '-r' was not passed. '-d' implies '-t'. 35 36-z:: 37 \0 line termination on output. 38 39--name-only:: 40--name-status:: 41 List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line. 42 43paths:: 44 When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw 45 pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match). Otherwise 46 implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument. 47 48 49Output Format 50------------- 51 <mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file> 52 53When the `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters 54in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, respectively. 55 56 57Author 58------ 59Written by Petr Baudis <pasky@suse.cz> 60Completely rewritten from scratch by Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>, 61another major rewrite by Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> 62 63Documentation 64-------------- 65Documentation by David Greaves, Junio C Hamano and the git-list 66<git@vger.kernel.org>. 67 68This manual page is a stub.
