DESCRIPTION
OPTIONS
-------
--c|--cached::
+-c::
+--cached::
Show cached files in the output (default)
--d|--deleted::
+-d::
+--deleted::
Show deleted files in the output
--m|--modified::
+-m::
+--modified::
Show modified files in the output
--o|--others::
+-o::
+--others::
Show other files in the output
--i|--ignored::
+-i::
+--ignored::
Show ignored files in the output.
Note that this also reverses any exclude list present.
--s|--stage::
- Show stage files in the output
+-s::
+--stage::
+ Show staged contents' object name, mode bits and stage number in the output.
--directory::
If a whole directory is classified as "other", show just its
--no-empty-directory::
Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory.
--u|--unmerged::
+-u::
+--unmerged::
Show unmerged files in the output (forces --stage)
--k|--killed::
+-k::
+--killed::
Show files on the filesystem that need to be removed due
to file/directory conflicts for checkout-index to
succeed.
-z::
\0 line termination on output.
--x|--exclude=<pattern>::
+-x <pattern>::
+--exclude=<pattern>::
Skips files matching pattern.
Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern.
--X|--exclude-from=<file>::
+-X <file>::
+--exclude-from=<file>::
exclude patterns are read from <file>; 1 per line.
--exclude-per-directory=<file>::
read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the
directory and its subdirectories in <file>.
+--exclude-standard::
+ Add the standard git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore
+ in each directory, and the user's global exclusion file.
+
--error-unmatch::
If any <file> does not appear in the index, treat this as an
error (return 1).
+--with-tree=<tree-ish>::
+ When using --error-unmatch to expand the user supplied
+ <file> (i.e. path pattern) arguments to paths, pretend
+ that paths which were removed in the index since the
+ named <tree-ish> are still present. Using this option
+ with `-s` or `-u` options does not make any sense.
+
-t::
Identify the file status with the following tags (followed by
a space) at the start of each line:
-v::
Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
- that are marked as 'always matching index'.
+ that are marked as 'assume unchanged' (see
+ linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
--full-name::
When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
--abbrev[=<n>]::
Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
- lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix.
+ lines, show only a partial prefix.
Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.
\--::
[<tag> ]<mode> <object> <stage> <file>
-"git-ls-files --unmerged" and "git-ls-files --stage" can be used to examine
+'git-ls-files --unmerged' and 'git-ls-files --stage' can be used to examine
detailed information on unmerged paths.
For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA1 pair,
the index records up to three such pairs; one from tree O in stage
1, A in stage 2, and B in stage 3. This information can be used by
the user (or the porcelain) to see what should eventually be recorded at the
-path. (see git-read-tree for more information on state)
+path. (see linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information on state)
When `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
'git-ls-files' can use a list of "exclude patterns" when
traversing the directory tree and finding files to show when the
-flags --others or --ignored are specified. gitlink:gitignore[5]
+flags --others or --ignored are specified. linkgit:gitignore[5]
specifies the format of exclude patterns.
These exclude patterns come from these places, in order:
by --exclude-per-directory is relative to the directory that the
pattern file appears in.
