DESCRIPTION
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
.
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.
