NAME
git-ls-tree - List the contents of a tree object
SYNOPSIS
git ls-tree [-d] [-r] [-t] [-l] [-z]
[--name-only] [--name-status] [--full-name] [--full-tree] [--abbrev[=<n>]]
<tree-ish> [<path>...]
DESCRIPTION
Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what
"/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory. Note
that:
o the behaviour is slightly different from that of
"/bin/ls" in that the <path> denotes 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.
o the behaviour is similar to that of "/bin/ls" in that
the <path> is taken as relative to the current working
directory. E.g. when you are in a directory sub that has
a directory dir, you can run git ls-tree -r HEAD dir to
list the contents of the tree (that is sub/dir in HEAD).
You don't want to give a tree that is not at the root
level (e.g. git ls-tree -r HEAD:sub dir) in this case,
as that would result in asking for sub/sub/dir in the
HEAD commit. However, the current working directory can
be ignored by passing --full-tree option.
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 a partial 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.
--full-tree
Do not limit the listing to the current working
directory. Implies --full-name.
[<path>...]
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>
Unless the -z option is used, TAB, LF, and backslash
characters in pathnames are represented as \t, \n, and \\,
respectively. This output format is compatible with what
--index-info --stdin of git update-index expects.
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.
