Existing callers to 'git ls-files' are expecting file names, not directories. It is best to expand a sparse index to show all of the contained files in this case. However, expert users may want to inspect the contents of the index itself including which directories are sparse. Add a --sparse option to allow users to request this information. During testing, I noticed that options such as --modified did not affect the output when the files in question were outside the sparse-checkout definition. Tests are added to document this preexisting behavior and how it remains unchanged with the sparse index and the --sparse option.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This merges the file listing in the 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 (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. Standard ignore rules are not automatically activated,
|
|
therefore at least one of the `--exclude*` options is required.
|
|
|
|
-s::
|
|
--stage::
|
|
Show staged contents' mode bits, object name 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\0 line termination on output and do not quote filenames.
|
|
See OUTPUT below for more information.
|
|
|
|
--deduplicate::
|
|
When only filenames are shown, suppress duplicates that may
|
|
come from having multiple stages during a merge, or giving
|
|
`--deleted` and `--modified` option at the same time.
|
|
When any of the `-t`, `--unmerged`, or `--stage` option is
|
|
in use, this option has no effect.
|
|
|
|
-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,
|
|
linkgit:git-status[1] `--porcelain` and
|
|
linkgit:git-diff-files[1] `--name-status` are almost always
|
|
superior alternatives, and users should look at
|
|
linkgit:git-status[1] `--short` or linkgit: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
|
|
linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
|
|
|
|
-f::
|
|
Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
|
|
that are marked as 'fsmonitor valid' (see
|
|
linkgit: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.
|
|
|
|
--recurse-submodules::
|
|
Recursively calls ls-files on each active submodule in the repository.
|
|
Currently there is only support for the --cached mode.
|
|
|
|
--abbrev[=<n>]::
|
|
Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
|
|
lines, show the shortest prefix that is at least '<n>'
|
|
hexdigits long that uniquely refers the object.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
--eol::
|
|
Show <eolinfo> and <eolattr> of files.
|
|
<eolinfo> is the file content identification used by Git when
|
|
the "text" attribute is "auto" (or not set and core.autocrlf is not false).
|
|
<eolinfo> is either "-text", "none", "lf", "crlf", "mixed" or "".
|
|
+
|
|
"" means the file is not a regular file, it is not in the index or
|
|
not accessible in the working tree.
|
|
+
|
|
<eolattr> is the attribute that is used when checking out or committing,
|
|
it is either "", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf".
|
|
Since Git 2.10 "text=auto eol=lf" and "text=auto eol=crlf" are supported.
|
|
+
|
|
Both the <eolinfo> in the index ("i/<eolinfo>")
|
|
and in the working tree ("w/<eolinfo>") are shown for regular files,
|
|
followed by the ("attr/<eolattr>").
|
|
|
|
--sparse::
|
|
If the index is sparse, show the sparse directories without expanding
|
|
to the contained files. Sparse directories will be shown with a
|
|
trailing slash, such as "x/" for a sparse directory "x".
|
|
|
|
\--::
|
|
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>
|
|
|
|
'git ls-files --eol' will show
|
|
i/<eolinfo><SPACES>w/<eolinfo><SPACES>attr/<eolattr><SPACE*><TAB><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/SHA-1 pair,
|
|
the index 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 linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information on state)
|
|
|
|
Without the `-z` option, pathnames with "unusual" characters are
|
|
quoted as explained for the configuration variable `core.quotePath`
|
|
(see linkgit:git-config[1]). Using `-z` the filename is output
|
|
verbatim and the line is terminated by a NUL byte.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. linkgit:gitignore[5]
|
|
specifies the format of exclude patterns.
|
|
|
|
These exclude patterns come from these places, in order:
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
