git-write-tree − Create a tree object from the current index |
git write−tree [−−missing−ok] [−−prefix=<prefix>/] |
Creates a tree object using the current index. The name of the new tree object is printed to standard output. The index must be in a fully merged state. Conceptually, git write−tree sync()s the current index contents into a set of tree files. In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right now, you need to have done a git update−index phase before you did the git write−tree. |
−−missing−ok |
Normally git write−tree ensures that the objects referenced by the directory exist in the object database. This option disables this check. |
−−prefix=<prefix>/ |
Writes a tree object that represents a subdirectory <prefix>. This can be used to write the tree object for a subproject that is in the named subdirectory. |
