22 | DESCRIPTION | |
23 | ----------- | |
24 | This merges the file listing in the directory cache index with the | |
25 | actual working directory list, and shows different combinations of the | |
26 | two. | |
27 | ||
28 | One or more of the options below may be used to determine the files | |
29 | shown: | |
30 | ||
31 | OPTIONS | |
32 | ------- | |
33 | -c:: | |
34 | --cached:: | |
35 | Show cached files in the output (default) | |
36 | ||
37 | -d:: | |
38 | --deleted:: | |
39 | Show deleted files in the output | |
40 | ||
41 | -m:: | |
42 | --modified:: | |
43 | Show modified files in the output | |
44 | ||
45 | -o:: | |
46 | --others:: | |
47 | Show other files in the output | |
48 | ||
49 | -i:: | |
50 | --ignored:: | |
51 | Show ignored files in the output. | |
52 | Note that this also reverses any exclude list present. | |
53 | ||
54 | -s:: | |
55 | --stage:: | |
56 | Show stage files in the output | |
57 | ||
58 | --directory:: | |
59 | If a whole directory is classified as "other", show just its | |
60 | name (with a trailing slash) and not its whole contents. | |
61 | ||
62 | --no-empty-directory:: | |
63 | Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory. | |
64 | ||
65 | -u:: | |
66 | --unmerged:: | |
67 | Show unmerged files in the output (forces --stage) | |
68 | ||
69 | -k:: | |
70 | --killed:: | |
71 | Show files on the filesystem that need to be removed due | |
72 | to file/directory conflicts for checkout-index to | |
73 | succeed. | |
74 | ||
75 | -z:: | |
76 | \0 line termination on output. | |
77 | ||
78 | -x <pattern>:: | |
79 | --exclude=<pattern>:: | |
80 | Skips files matching pattern. | |
81 | Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern. | |
82 | ||
83 | -X <file>:: | |
84 | --exclude-from=<file>:: | |
85 | exclude patterns are read from <file>; 1 per line. | |
86 | ||
87 | --exclude-per-directory=<file>:: | |
88 | read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the | |
89 | directory and its subdirectories in <file>. | |
90 | ||
91 | --exclude-standard:: | |
92 | Add the standard git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore | |
93 | in each directory, and the user's global exclusion file. | |
94 | ||
95 | --error-unmatch:: | |
96 | If any <file> does not appear in the index, treat this as an | |
97 | error (return 1). | |
98 | ||
99 | --with-tree=<tree-ish>:: | |
100 | When using --error-unmatch to expand the user supplied | |
101 | <file> (i.e. path pattern) arguments to paths, pretend | |
102 | that paths which were removed in the index since the | |
103 | named <tree-ish> are still present. Using this option | |
104 | with `-s` or `-u` options does not make any sense. | |
105 | ||
106 | -t:: | |
107 | Identify the file status with the following tags (followed by | |
108 | a space) at the start of each line: | |
109 | H:: cached | |
110 | M:: unmerged | |
111 | R:: removed/deleted | |
112 | C:: modified/changed | |
113 | K:: to be killed | |
114 | ?:: other | |
115 | ||
116 | -v:: | |
117 | Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files | |
118 | that are marked as 'assume unchanged' (see | |
119 | linkgit:git-update-index[1]). | |
120 | ||
121 | --full-name:: | |
122 | When run from a subdirectory, the command usually | |
123 | outputs paths relative to the current directory. This | |
124 | option forces paths to be output relative to the project | |
125 | top directory. | |
126 | ||
127 | --abbrev[=<n>]:: | |
128 | Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object | |
129 | lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix. | |
130 | Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>. | |
131 | ||
132 | \--:: | |
133 | Do not interpret any more arguments as options. | |
134 | ||
135 | <file>:: | |
136 | Files to show. If no files are given all files which match the other | |
137 | specified criteria are shown. | |
138 | ||
139 | Output | |
140 | ------ | |
141 | show files just outputs the filename unless '--stage' is specified in | |
142 | which case it outputs: | |
143 | ||
144 | [<tag> ]<mode> <object> <stage> <file> | |
145 | ||
146 | "git-ls-files --unmerged" and "git-ls-files --stage" can be used to examine | |
147 | detailed information on unmerged paths. | |
148 | ||
149 | For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA1 pair, | |
150 | the index records up to three such pairs; one from tree O in stage | |
151 | 1, A in stage 2, and B in stage 3. This information can be used by | |
152 | the user (or the porcelain) to see what should eventually be recorded at the | |
153 | path. (see git-read-tree for more information on state) | |
154 | ||
155 | When `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters | |
156 | in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`, | |
157 | respectively. | |
158 | ||
159 | ||
160 | Exclude Patterns | |
161 | ---------------- | |
162 | ||
163 | 'git-ls-files' can use a list of "exclude patterns" when | |
164 | traversing the directory tree and finding files to show when the | |
165 | flags --others or --ignored are specified. linkgit:gitignore[5] | |
166 | specifies the format of exclude patterns. | |
167 | ||
168 | These exclude patterns come from these places, in order: | |
169 | ||
170 | 1. The command line flag --exclude=<pattern> specifies a | |
171 | single pattern. Patterns are ordered in the same order | |
172 | they appear in the command line. | |
173 | ||
174 | 2. The command line flag --exclude-from=<file> specifies a | |
175 | file containing a list of patterns. Patterns are ordered | |
176 | in the same order they appear in the file. | |
177 | ||
178 | 3. command line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies | |
179 | a name of the file in each directory 'git-ls-files' | |
180 | examines, normally `.gitignore`. Files in deeper | |
181 | directories take precedence. Patterns are ordered in the | |
182 | same order they appear in the files. | |
183 | ||
184 | A pattern specified on the command line with --exclude or read | |
185 | from the file specified with --exclude-from is relative to the | |
186 | top of the directory tree. A pattern read from a file specified | |
187 | by --exclude-per-directory is relative to the directory that the | |
188 | pattern file appears in. | |
