NAME¶
git-ls-files - Show information about files in the index and the working treeSYNOPSIS¶
git ls-files [-z] [-t] [-v] (--[cached|deleted|others|ignored|stage|unmerged|killed|modified])* (-[c|d|o|i|s|u|k|m])* [-x <pattern>|--exclude=<pattern>] [-X <file>|--exclude-from=<file>] [--exclude-per-directory=<file>] [--exclude-standard] [--error-unmatch] [--with-tree=<tree-ish>] [--full-name] [--abbrev] [--] [<file>...]
DESCRIPTION¶
This merges the file listing in the directory cache index with the actual working directory list, and shows different combinations of the two.OPTIONS¶
-c, --cachedShow 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, git-status(1) --porcelain and git-diff-files(1)
--name-status are almost always superior alternatives, and users should look
at git-status(1) --short or 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
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>
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. gitignore(5) specifies the format of exclude patterns. 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.
