"git ls-files --format" can be used to format the output of multiple file entries in the index, while "git ls-tree --format" can be used to format the contents of a tree object. However, the current set of %(objecttype), "(objectsize)", and "%(objectsize:padded)" atoms supported by "git ls-files --format" is a subset of what is available in "git ls-tree --format". Users sometimes need to establish a unified view between the index and tree, which can help with comparison or conversion between the two. Therefore, this patch adds the missing atoms to "git ls-files --format". "%(objecttype)" can be used to retrieve the object type corresponding to a file in the index, "(objectsize)" can be used to retrieve the object size corresponding to a file in the index, and "%(objectsize:padded)" is the same as "(objectsize)", except with padded format.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This merges the file listing in the index with the actual working
|
|
directory list, and shows different combinations of the two.
|
|
|
|
One or more of the options below may be used to determine the files
|
|
shown, and each file may be printed multiple times if there are
|
|
multiple entries in the index or multiple statuses are applicable for
|
|
the relevant file selection options.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-c::
|
|
--cached::
|
|
Show all files cached in Git's index, i.e. all tracked files.
|
|
(This is the default if no -c/-s/-d/-o/-u/-k/-m/--resolve-undo
|
|
options are specified.)
|
|
|
|
-d::
|
|
--deleted::
|
|
Show files with an unstaged deletion
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
--modified::
|
|
Show files with an unstaged modification (note that an unstaged
|
|
deletion also counts as an unstaged modification)
|
|
|
|
-o::
|
|
--others::
|
|
Show other (i.e. untracked) files in the output
|
|
|
|
-i::
|
|
--ignored::
|
|
Show only ignored files in the output. Must be used with
|
|
either an explicit '-c' or '-o'. When showing files in the
|
|
index (i.e. when used with '-c'), print only those files
|
|
matching an exclude pattern. When showing "other" files
|
|
(i.e. when used with '-o'), show only those matched by an
|
|
exclude pattern. Standard ignore rules are not automatically
|
|
activated, therefore at least one of the `--exclude*` options
|
|
is required.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--stage::
|
|
Show staged contents' mode bits, object name and stage number in the output.
|
|
|
|
--directory::
|
|
If a whole directory is classified as "other", show just its
|
|
name (with a trailing slash) and not its whole contents.
|
|
Has no effect without -o/--others.
|
|
|
|
--no-empty-directory::
|
|
Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory.
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
|
--unmerged::
|
|
Show information about unmerged files in the output, but do
|
|
not show any other tracked files (forces --stage, overrides
|
|
--cached).
|
|
|
|
-k::
|
|
--killed::
|
|
Show untracked files on the filesystem that need to be removed
|
|
due to file/directory conflicts for tracked files to be able to
|
|
be written to the filesystem.
|
|
|
|
--resolve-undo::
|
|
Show files having resolve-undo information in the index
|
|
together with their resolve-undo information. (resolve-undo
|
|
information is what is used to implement "git checkout -m
|
|
$PATH", i.e. to recreate merge conflicts that were
|
|
accidentally resolved)
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
\0 line termination on output and do not quote filenames.
|
|
See OUTPUT below for more information.
|
|
|
|
--deduplicate::
|
|
When only filenames are shown, suppress duplicates that may
|
|
come from having multiple stages during a merge, or giving
|
|
`--deleted` and `--modified` option at the same time.
|
|
When any of the `-t`, `--unmerged`, or `--stage` option is
|
|
in use, this option has no effect.
|
|
|
|
-x <pattern>::
|
|
--exclude=<pattern>::
|
|
Skip untracked files matching pattern.
|
|
Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern. See EXCLUDE PATTERNS
|
|
below for more information.
|
|
|
|
-X <file>::
|
|
--exclude-from=<file>::
|
|
Read exclude patterns from <file>; 1 per line.
|
|
|
|
--exclude-per-directory=<file>::
|
|
Read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the
|
|
directory and its subdirectories in <file>. Deprecated; use
|
|
--exclude-standard instead.
|
|
|
|
--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::
|
|
Show status tags together with filenames. Note that for
|
|
scripting purposes, linkgit:git-status[1] `--porcelain` and
|
|
linkgit:git-diff-files[1] `--name-status` are almost always
|
|
superior alternatives, and users should look at
|
|
linkgit:git-status[1] `--short` or linkgit:git-diff[1]
|
|
`--name-status` for more user-friendly alternatives.
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
This option provides a reason for showing each filename, in the form
|
|
of a status tag (which is followed by a space and then the filename).
|
|
The status tags are all single characters from the following list:
|
|
|
|
H:: tracked file that is not either unmerged or skip-worktree
|
|
S:: tracked file that is skip-worktree
|
|
M:: tracked file that is unmerged
|
|
R:: tracked file with unstaged removal/deletion
|
|
C:: tracked file with unstaged modification/change
|
|
K:: untracked paths which are part of file/directory conflicts
|
|
which prevent checking out tracked files
|
|
?:: untracked file
|
|
U:: file with resolve-undo information
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
|
|
that are marked as 'assume unchanged' (see
|
|
linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
|
|
that are marked as 'fsmonitor valid' (see
|
|
linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
|
|
|
|
--full-name::
|
|
When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
|
|
outputs paths relative to the current directory. This
|
|
option forces paths to be output relative to the project
|
|
top directory.
|
|
|
|
--recurse-submodules::
|
|
Recursively calls ls-files on each active submodule in the repository.
|
|
Currently there is only support for the --cached and --stage modes.
|
|
|
|
--abbrev[=<n>]::
|
|
Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
|
|
lines, show the shortest prefix that is at least '<n>'
|
|
hexdigits long that uniquely refers the object.
|
|
Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.
|
|
|
|
--debug::
|
|
After each line that describes a file, add more data about its
|
|
cache entry. This is intended to show as much information as
|
|
possible for manual inspection; the exact format may change at
|
|
any time.
|
|
|
|
--eol::
|
|
Show <eolinfo> and <eolattr> of files.
|
|
<eolinfo> is the file content identification used by Git when
|
|
the "text" attribute is "auto" (or not set and core.autocrlf is not false).
|
|
<eolinfo> is either "-text", "none", "lf", "crlf", "mixed" or "".
|
|
+
|
|
"" means the file is not a regular file, it is not in the index or
|
|
not accessible in the working tree.
|
|
+
|
|
<eolattr> is the attribute that is used when checking out or committing,
|
|
it is either "", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf".
|
|
Since Git 2.10 "text=auto eol=lf" and "text=auto eol=crlf" are supported.
|
|
+
|
|
Both the <eolinfo> in the index ("i/<eolinfo>")
|
|
and in the working tree ("w/<eolinfo>") are shown for regular files,
|
|
followed by the ("attr/<eolattr>").
|
|
|
|
--sparse::
|
|
If the index is sparse, show the sparse directories without expanding
|
|
to the contained files. Sparse directories will be shown with a
|
|
trailing slash, such as "x/" for a sparse directory "x".
|
|
|
|
--format=<format>::
|
|
A string that interpolates `%(fieldname)` from the result being shown.
|
|
It also interpolates `%%` to `%`, and `%xx` where `xx` are hex digits
|
|
interpolates to character with hex code `xx`; for example `%00`
|
|
interpolates to `\0` (NUL), `%09` to `\t` (TAB) and %0a to `\n` (LF).
|
|
--format cannot be combined with `-s`, `-o`, `-k`, `-t`, `--resolve-undo`
|
|
and `--eol`.
|
|
\--::
|
|
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
|
|
|
|
<file>::
|
|
Files to show. If no files are given all files which match the other
|
|
specified criteria are shown.
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
'git ls-files' just outputs the filenames unless `--stage` is specified in
|
|
which case it outputs:
|
|
|
|
[<tag> ]<mode> <object> <stage> <file>
|
|
|
|
'git ls-files --eol' will show
|
|
i/<eolinfo><SPACES>w/<eolinfo><SPACES>attr/<eolattr><SPACE*><TAB><file>
|
|
|
|
'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/SHA-1 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 linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information on state)
|
|
|
|
Without the `-z` option, pathnames with "unusual" characters are
|
|
quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`
|
|
(see linkgit:git-config[1]). Using `-z` the filename is output
|
|
verbatim and the line is terminated by a NUL byte.
|
|
|
|
It is possible to print in a custom format by using the `--format`
|
|
option, which is able to interpolate different fields using
|
|
a `%(fieldname)` notation. For example, if you only care about the
|
|
"objectname" and "path" fields, you can execute with a specific
|
|
"--format" like
|
|
|
|
git ls-files --format='%(objectname) %(path)'
|
|
|
|
FIELD NAMES
|
|
-----------
|
|
The way each path is shown can be customized by using the
|
|
`--format=<format>` option, where the %(fieldname) in the
|
|
<format> string for various aspects of the index entry are
|
|
interpolated. The following "fieldname" are understood:
|
|
|
|
objectmode::
|
|
The mode of the file which is recorded in the index.
|
|
objecttype::
|
|
The object type of the file which is recorded in the index.
|
|
objectname::
|
|
The name of the file which is recorded in the index.
|
|
objectsize[:padded]::
|
|
The object size of the file which is recorded in the index
|
|
("-" if the object is a `commit` or `tree`).
|
|
It also supports a padded format of size with "%(objectsize:padded)".
|
|
stage::
|
|
The stage of the file which is recorded in the index.
|
|
eolinfo:index::
|
|
eolinfo:worktree::
|
|
The <eolinfo> (see the description of the `--eol` option) of
|
|
the contents in the index or in the worktree for the path.
|
|
eolattr::
|
|
The <eolattr> (see the description of the `--eol` option)
|
|
that applies to the path.
|
|
path::
|
|
The pathname of the file which is recorded in the index.
|
|
|
|
EXCLUDE PATTERNS
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
'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. linkgit:gitignore[5]
|
|
specifies the format of exclude patterns.
|
|
|
|
Generally, you should just use --exclude-standard, but for historical
|
|
reasons the exclude patterns can be specified from the following
|
|
places, in order:
|
|
|
|
1. The command-line flag --exclude=<pattern> specifies a
|
|
single pattern. Patterns are ordered in the same order
|
|
they appear in the command line.
|
|
|
|
2. The command-line flag --exclude-from=<file> specifies a
|
|
file containing a list of patterns. Patterns are ordered
|
|
in the same order they appear in the file.
|
|
|
|
3. The command-line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies
|
|
a name of the file in each directory 'git ls-files'
|
|
examines, normally `.gitignore`. Files in deeper
|
|
directories take precedence. Patterns are ordered in the
|
|
same order they appear in the files.
|
|
|
|
A pattern specified on the command line with --exclude or read
|
|
from the file specified with --exclude-from is relative to the
|
|
top of the directory tree. A pattern read from a file specified
|
|
by --exclude-per-directory is relative to the directory that the
|
|
pattern file appears in.
