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'. + + +OPTIONS +------- +--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. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
