GIT-LS-TREE(1) Git Manual GIT-LS-TREE(1)NAMEgit-ls-tree - List the contents of a tree object
SYNOPSISgit-ls-tree [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z]
[--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--abbrev=[<n>]]
<tree-ish> [paths...]
DESCRIPTION
Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does
in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly
different, though - paths denote 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.
OPTIONS
<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 handful hexdigits 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.
paths 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.
OUTPUT FORMAT
<mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
When the -z option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters in
pathnames are represented as \t, \n, and \\, respectively.
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.
