NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-ls-files - Information about files in the index/working directory |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-ls-files' [-z] [-t] |
|
(--[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>] |
|
[--full-name] [--] [<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. |
|
|
|
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 files in the output |
|
|
|
-i|--ignored:: |
|
Show ignored files in the output |
|
Note the this also reverses any exclude list present. |
|
|
|
-s|--stage:: |
|
Show stage files 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. |
|
|
|
-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|--exclude=<pattern>:: |
|
Skips files matching pattern. |
|
Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern. |
|
|
|
-X|--exclude-from=<file>:: |
|
exclude patterns are read from <file>; 1 per line. |
|
|
|
--exclude-per-directory=<file>:: |
|
read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the |
|
directory and its subdirectories in <file>. |
|
|
|
-t:: |
|
Identify the file status with the following tags (followed by |
|
a space) at the start of each line: |
|
H:: cached |
|
M:: unmerged |
|
R:: removed/deleted |
|
C:: modified/changed |
|
K:: to be killed |
|
? other |
|
|
|
--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. |
|
|
|
--:: |
|
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 |
|
------ |
|
show files just outputs the filename 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 dircache 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 git-read-tree 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. |
|
|
|
These exclude patterns come from these places: |
|
|
|
1. command line flag --exclude=<pattern> specifies a single |
|
pattern. |
|
|
|
2. command line flag --exclude-from=<file> specifies a list of |
|
patterns stored in a file. |
|
|
|
3. command line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies |
|
a name of the file in each directory 'git-ls-files' |
|
examines, and if exists, its contents are used as an |
|
additional list of patterns. |
|
|
|
An exclude pattern file used by (2) and (3) contains one pattern |
|
per line. A line that starts with a '#' can be used as comment |
|
for readability. |
|
|
|
There are three lists of patterns that are in effect at a given |
|
time. They are built and ordered in the following way: |
|
|
|
* --exclude=<pattern> from the command line; patterns are |
|
ordered in the same order as they appear on the command line. |
|
|
|
* lines read from --exclude-from=<file>; patterns are ordered |
|
in the same order as they appear in the file. |
|
|
|
* When --exclude-per-directory=<name> is specified, upon |
|
entering a directory that has such a file, its contents are |
|
appended at the end of the current "list of patterns". They |
|
are popped off when leaving the directory. |
|
|
|
Each pattern in the pattern list specifies "a match pattern" and |
|
optionally the fate; either a file that matches the pattern is |
|
considered excluded or included. A filename is matched against |
|
the patterns in the three lists; the --exclude-from list is |
|
checked first, then the --exclude-per-directory list, and then |
|
finally the --exclude list. The last match determines its fate. |
|
If there is no match in the three lists, the fate is "included". |
|
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
An exclude pattern is of the following format: |
|
|
|
- an optional prefix '!' which means that the fate this pattern |
|
specifies is "include", not the usual "exclude"; the |
|
remainder of the pattern string is interpreted according to |
|
the following rules. |
|
|
|
- if it does not contain a slash '/', it is a shell glob |
|
pattern and used to match against the filename without |
|
leading directories (i.e. the same way as the current |
|
implementation). |
|
|
|
- otherwise, it is a shell glob pattern, suitable for |
|
consumption by fnmatch(3) with FNM_PATHNAME flag. I.e. a |
|
slash in the pattern must match a slash in the pathname. |
|
"Documentation/\*.html" matches "Documentation/git.html" but |
|
not "ppc/ppc.html". As a natural exception, "/*.c" matches |
|
"cat-file.c" but not "mozilla-sha1/sha1.c". |
|
|
|
An example: |
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
$ cat .git/ignore |
|
# ignore objects and archives, anywhere in the tree. |
|
*.[oa] |
|
$ cat Documentation/.gitignore |
|
# ignore generated html files, |
|
*.html |
|
# except foo.html which is maintained by hand |
|
!foo.html |
|
$ git-ls-files --ignored \ |
|
--exclude='Documentation/*.[0-9]' \ |
|
--exclude-from=.git/ignore \ |
|
--exclude-per-directory=.gitignore |
|
