24 | DESCRIPTION | |
25 | ----------- | |
26 | This merges the file listing in the directory cache index with the | |
27 | actual working directory list, and shows different combinations of the | |
28 | two. | |
29 | ||
30 | One or more of the options below may be used to determine the files | |
31 | shown: | |
32 | ||
33 | OPTIONS | |
34 | ------- | |
35 | -c:: | |
36 | --cached:: | |
37 | Show cached files in the output (default) | |
38 | ||
39 | -d:: | |
40 | --deleted:: | |
41 | Show deleted files in the output | |
42 | ||
43 | -m:: | |
44 | --modified:: | |
45 | Show modified files in the output | |
46 | ||
47 | -o:: | |
48 | --others:: | |
49 | Show other (i.e. untracked) files in the output | |
50 | ||
51 | -i:: | |
52 | --ignored:: | |
53 | Show only ignored files in the output. When showing files in the | |
54 | index, print only those matched by an exclude pattern. When | |
55 | showing "other" files, show only those matched by an exclude | |
56 | pattern. Standard ignore rules are not automatically activated, | |
57 | therefore at least one of the `--exclude*` options is required. | |
58 | ||
59 | -s:: | |
60 | --stage:: | |
61 | Show staged contents' mode bits, object name and stage number in the output. | |
62 | ||
63 | --directory:: | |
64 | If a whole directory is classified as "other", show just its | |
65 | name (with a trailing slash) and not its whole contents. | |
66 | ||
67 | --no-empty-directory:: | |
68 | Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory. | |
69 | ||
70 | -u:: | |
71 | --unmerged:: | |
72 | Show unmerged files in the output (forces --stage) | |
73 | ||
74 | -k:: | |
75 | --killed:: | |
76 | Show files on the filesystem that need to be removed due | |
77 | to file/directory conflicts for checkout-index to | |
78 | succeed. | |
79 | ||
80 | -z:: | |
81 | \0 line termination on output and do not quote filenames. | |
82 | See OUTPUT below for more information. | |
83 | ||
84 | -x <pattern>:: | |
85 | --exclude=<pattern>:: | |
86 | Skip untracked files matching pattern. | |
87 | Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern. See EXCLUDE PATTERNS | |
88 | below for more information. | |
89 | ||
90 | -X <file>:: | |
91 | --exclude-from=<file>:: | |
92 | Read exclude patterns from <file>; 1 per line. | |
93 | ||
94 | --exclude-per-directory=<file>:: | |
95 | Read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the | |
96 | directory and its subdirectories in <file>. | |
97 | ||
98 | --exclude-standard:: | |
99 | Add the standard Git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore | |
100 | in each directory, and the user's global exclusion file. | |
101 | ||
102 | --error-unmatch:: | |
103 | If any <file> does not appear in the index, treat this as an | |
104 | error (return 1). | |
105 | ||
106 | --with-tree=<tree-ish>:: | |
107 | When using --error-unmatch to expand the user supplied | |
108 | <file> (i.e. path pattern) arguments to paths, pretend | |
109 | that paths which were removed in the index since the | |
110 | named <tree-ish> are still present. Using this option | |
111 | with `-s` or `-u` options does not make any sense. | |
112 | ||
113 | -t:: | |
114 | This feature is semi-deprecated. For scripting purpose, | |
115 | linkgit:git-status[1] `--porcelain` and | |
116 | linkgit:git-diff-files[1] `--name-status` are almost always | |
117 | superior alternatives, and users should look at | |
118 | linkgit:git-status[1] `--short` or linkgit:git-diff[1] | |
119 | `--name-status` for more user-friendly alternatives. | |
120 | + | |
121 | -- | |
122 | This option identifies the file status with the following tags (followed by | |
123 | a space) at the start of each line: | |
124 | ||
125 | H:: cached | |
126 | S:: skip-worktree | |
127 | M:: unmerged | |
128 | R:: removed/deleted | |
129 | C:: modified/changed | |
130 | K:: to be killed | |
131 | ?:: other | |
132 | -- | |
133 | ||
134 | -v:: | |
135 | Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files | |
136 | that are marked as 'assume unchanged' (see | |
137 | linkgit:git-update-index[1]). | |
138 | ||
139 | -f:: | |
140 | Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files | |
141 | that are marked as 'fsmonitor valid' (see | |
142 | linkgit:git-update-index[1]). | |
143 | ||
144 | --full-name:: | |
145 | When run from a subdirectory, the command usually | |
146 | outputs paths relative to the current directory. This | |
147 | option forces paths to be output relative to the project | |
148 | top directory. | |
149 | ||
150 | --recurse-submodules:: | |
151 | Recursively calls ls-files on each active submodule in the repository. | |
152 | Currently there is only support for the --cached mode. | |
153 | ||
154 | --abbrev[=<n>]:: | |
155 | Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object | |
156 | lines, show the shortest prefix that is at least '<n>' | |
157 | hexdigits long that uniquely refers the object. | |
158 | Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. | |
159 | ||
160 | --debug:: | |
161 | After each line that describes a file, add more data about its | |
162 | cache entry. This is intended to show as much information as | |
163 | possible for manual inspection; the exact format may change at | |
164 | any time. | |
165 | ||
166 | --eol:: | |
167 | Show <eolinfo> and <eolattr> of files. | |
168 | <eolinfo> is the file content identification used by Git when | |
169 | the "text" attribute is "auto" (or not set and core.autocrlf is not false). | |
170 | <eolinfo> is either "-text", "none", "lf", "crlf", "mixed" or "". | |
171 | + | |
172 | "" means the file is not a regular file, it is not in the index or | |
173 | not accessible in the working tree. | |
174 | + | |
175 | <eolattr> is the attribute that is used when checking out or committing, | |
176 | it is either "", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf". | |
177 | Since Git 2.10 "text=auto eol=lf" and "text=auto eol=crlf" are supported. | |
178 | + | |
179 | Both the <eolinfo> in the index ("i/<eolinfo>") | |
180 | and in the working tree ("w/<eolinfo>") are shown for regular files, | |
181 | followed by the ("attr/<eolattr>"). | |
182 | ||
183 | \--:: | |
184 | Do not interpret any more arguments as options. | |
185 | ||
186 | <file>:: | |
187 | Files to show. If no files are given all files which match the other | |
188 | specified criteria are shown. | |
189 | ||
190 | OUTPUT | |
191 | ------ | |
192 | 'git ls-files' just outputs the filenames unless `--stage` is specified in | |
193 | which case it outputs: | |
194 | ||
195 | [<tag> ]<mode> <object> <stage> <file> | |
196 | ||
197 | 'git ls-files --eol' will show | |
198 | i/<eolinfo><SPACES>w/<eolinfo><SPACES>attr/<eolattr><SPACE*><TAB><file> | |
199 | ||
200 | 'git ls-files --unmerged' and 'git ls-files --stage' can be used to examine | |
201 | detailed information on unmerged paths. | |
202 | ||
203 | For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA-1 pair, | |
204 | the index records up to three such pairs; one from tree O in stage | |
205 | 1, A in stage 2, and B in stage 3. This information can be used by | |
206 | the user (or the porcelain) to see what should eventually be recorded at the | |
207 | path. (see linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information on state) | |
208 | ||
209 | Without the `-z` option, pathnames with "unusual" characters are | |
210 | quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath` | |
211 | (see linkgit:git-config[1]). Using `-z` the filename is output | |
212 | verbatim and the line is terminated by a NUL byte. | |
213 | ||
214 | ||
215 | EXCLUDE PATTERNS | |
216 | ---------------- | |
217 | ||
218 | 'git ls-files' can use a list of "exclude patterns" when | |
219 | traversing the directory tree and finding files to show when the | |
220 | flags --others or --ignored are specified. linkgit:gitignore[5] | |
221 | specifies the format of exclude patterns. | |
222 | ||
223 | These exclude patterns come from these places, in order: | |
224 | ||
225 | 1. The command-line flag --exclude=<pattern> specifies a | |
226 | single pattern. Patterns are ordered in the same order | |
227 | they appear in the command line. | |
228 | ||
229 | 2. The command-line flag --exclude-from=<file> specifies a | |
230 | file containing a list of patterns. Patterns are ordered | |
231 | in the same order they appear in the file. | |
232 | ||
233 | 3. The command-line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies | |
234 | a name of the file in each directory 'git ls-files' | |
235 | examines, normally `.gitignore`. Files in deeper | |
236 | directories take precedence. Patterns are ordered in the | |
237 | same order they appear in the files. | |
238 | ||
239 | A pattern specified on the command line with --exclude or read | |
240 | from the file specified with --exclude-from is relative to the | |
241 | top of the directory tree. A pattern read from a file specified | |
242 | by --exclude-per-directory is relative to the directory that the | |
243 | pattern file appears in. | |
