NAME

6       git-ls-tree - List the contents of a tree object
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git ls-tree [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z]
10                   [--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--full-tree] [--abbrev[=<n>]]
11                   <tree-ish> [<path>...]

DESCRIPTION

15       Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
16       in the current working directory. Note that:
17
18       ·   the behaviour is slightly different from that of "/bin/ls" in that
19           the <path> denotes just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so
20           specifying directory name (without -r) will behave differently, and
21           order of the arguments does not matter.
22
23       ·   the behaviour is similar to that of "/bin/ls" in that the <path> is
24           taken as relative to the current working directory. E.g. when you
25           are in a directory sub that has a directory dir, you can run git
26           ls-tree -r HEAD dir to list the contents of the tree (that is
27           sub/dir in HEAD). You don’t want to give a tree that is not at the
28           root level (e.g.  git ls-tree -r HEAD:sub dir) in this case, as
29           that would result in asking for sub/sub/dir in the HEAD commit.
30           However, the current working directory can be ignored by passing
31           --full-tree option.
32

OPTIONS

34       <tree-ish>
35           Id of a tree-ish.
36
37       -d
38           Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children.
39
40       -r
41           Recurse into sub-trees.
42
43       -t
44           Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect if
45           -r was not passed.  -d implies -t.
46
47       -l, --long
48           Show object size of blob (file) entries.
49
50       -z
51           \0 line termination on output.
52
53       --name-only, --name-status
54           List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line.
55
56       --abbrev[=<n>]
57           Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object lines, show
58           only a partial prefix. Non default number of digits can be
59           specified with --abbrev=<n>.
60
61       --full-name
62           Instead of showing the path names relative to the current working
63           directory, show the full path names.
64
65       --full-tree
66           Do not limit the listing to the current working directory. Implies
67           --full-name.
68
69       [<path>...]
70           When paths are given, show them (note that this isn’t really raw
71           pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match). Otherwise
72           implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path
73           argument.
74

OUTPUT FORMAT

76           <mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
77
78       Unless the -z option is used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters in
79       pathnames are represented as \t, \n, and \\, respectively. This output
80       format is compatible with what --index-info --stdin of git update-index
81       expects.
82
83       When the -l option is used, format changes to
84
85           <mode> SP <type> SP <object> SP <object size> TAB <file>
86
87       Object size identified by <object> is given in bytes, and
88       right-justified with minimum width of 7 characters. Object size is
89       given only for blobs (file) entries; for other entries - character is
90       used in place of size.
