The point of these sections is generally to:
1. Give credit where it is due.
2. Give the reader an idea of where to ask questions or
file bug reports.
But they don't do a good job of either case. For (1), they
are out of date and incomplete. A much more accurate answer
can be gotten through shortlog or blame. For (2), the
correct contact point is generally git@vger, and even if you
wanted to cc the contact point, the out-of-date and
incomplete fields mean you're likely sending to somebody
useless.
So let's drop the fields entirely from all manpages except
git(1) itself. We already point people to the mailing list
for bug reports there, and we can update the Authors section
to give credit to the major contributors and point to
shortlog and blame for more information.
Each page has a "This is part of git" footer, so people can
follow that to the main git manpage.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This merges the file listing in the directory cache 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:
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-c::
|
|
--cached::
|
|
Show cached files in the output (default)
|
|
|
|
-d::
|
|
--deleted::
|
|
Show deleted files in the output
|
|
|
|
-m::
|
|
--modified::
|
|
Show modified files in the output
|
|
|
|
-o::
|
|
--others::
|
|
Show other (i.e. untracked) files in the output
|
|
|
|
-i::
|
|
--ignored::
|
|
Show only ignored files in the output. When showing files in the
|
|
index, print only those matched by an exclude pattern. When
|
|
showing "other" files, show only those matched by an exclude
|
|
pattern.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--stage::
|
|
Show staged contents' object name, mode bits 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.
|
|
|
|
--no-empty-directory::
|
|
Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory.
|
|
|
|
-u::
|
|
--unmerged::
|
|
Show unmerged files in the output (forces --stage)
|
|
|
|
-k::
|
|
--killed::
|
|
Show files on the filesystem that need to be removed due
|
|
to file/directory conflicts for checkout-index to
|
|
succeed.
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
\0 line termination on output.
|
|
|
|
-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>.
|
|
|
|
--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::
|
|
This feature is semi-deprecated. For scripting purpose,
|
|
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 identifies the file status with the following tags (followed by
|
|
a space) at the start of each line:
|
|
|
|
H:: cached
|
|
S:: skip-worktree
|
|
M:: unmerged
|
|
R:: removed/deleted
|
|
C:: modified/changed
|
|
K:: to be killed
|
|
?:: other
|
|
|
|
-v::
|
|
Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
|
|
that are marked as 'assume unchanged' (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.
|
|
|
|
--abbrev[=<n>]::
|
|
Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
|
|
lines, show only a partial prefix.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
\--::
|
|
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 --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/SHA1 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)
|
|
|
|
When `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
|
|
in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
These exclude patterns come from these 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.
