1git-show-index(1) 2================= 3 4NAME 5---- 6git-show-index - Show packed archive index 7 8 9SYNOPSIS 10-------- 11[verse] 12'git show-index' 13 14 15DESCRIPTION 16----------- 17Read the `.idx` file for a Git packfile (created with 18linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] or linkgit:git-index-pack[1]) from the 19standard input, and dump its contents. The output consists of one object 20per line, with each line containing two or three space-separated 21columns: 22 23 - the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within the 24 corresponding packfile 25 26 - the second column is the object id of the object 27 28 - if the index version is 2 or higher, the third column contains the 29 CRC32 of the object data 30 31The objects are output in the order in which they are found in the index 32file, which should be (in a correctly constructed file) sorted by object 33id. 34 35Note that you can get more information on a packfile by calling 36linkgit:git-verify-pack[1]. However, as this command considers only the 37index file itself, it's both faster and more flexible. 38 39GIT 40--- 41Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
