 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-ls-files -
  Show information about files in the index and the working tree
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="verseblock">
 <div class="content"><em>git-ls-files</em> [-z] [-t] [-v]
  (--[cached|deleted|others|ignored|stage|unmerged|killed|modified])*
  (-[c|d|o|i|s|u|k|m])*
  [-x &lt;pattern&gt;|--exclude=&lt;pattern&gt;]
  [-X &lt;file&gt;|--exclude-from=&lt;file&gt;]
  [--exclude-per-directory=&lt;file&gt;]
  [--exclude-standard]
  [--error-unmatch] [--with-tree=&lt;tree-ish&gt;]
  [--full-name] [--abbrev] [--] [&lt;file&gt;]*</div></div>
 </div>
 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>This merges the file listing in the directory cache index with the
 actual working directory list, and shows different combinations of the
 two.</p>
 <p>One or more of the options below may be used to determine the files
 shown:</p>
 </div>
 <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 -c|--cached
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show cached files in the output (default)
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -d|--deleted
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show deleted files in the output
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -m|--modified
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show modified files in the output
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -o|--others
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show other files in the output
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -i|--ignored
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show ignored files in the output.
  Note that this also reverses any exclude list present.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -s|--stage
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show stage files in the output
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --directory
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  If a whole directory is classified as "other", show just its
  name (with a trailing slash) and not its whole contents.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --no-empty-directory
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -u|--unmerged
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show unmerged files in the output (forces --stage)
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -k|--killed
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Show files on the filesystem that need to be removed due
  to file/directory conflicts for checkout-index to
  succeed.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -z
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  \0 line termination on output.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -x|--exclude=&lt;pattern&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Skips files matching pattern.
  Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -X|--exclude-from=&lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  exclude patterns are read from &lt;file&gt;; 1 per line.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --exclude-per-directory=&lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the
  directory and its subdirectories in &lt;file&gt;.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --exclude-standard
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Add the standard git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore
  in each directory, and the user's global exclusion file.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --error-unmatch
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  If any &lt;file&gt; does not appear in the index, treat this as an
  error (return 1).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --with-tree=&lt;tree-ish&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  When using --error-unmatch to expand the user supplied
  &lt;file&gt; (i.e. path pattern) arguments to paths, pretend
  that paths which were removed in the index since the
  named &lt;tree-ish&gt; are still present. Using this option
  with <tt>-s</tt> or <tt>-u</tt> options does not make any sense.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -t
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Identify the file status with the following tags (followed by
  a space) at the start of each line:
 </p>
 <div class="hlist"><table>
 <tr>
 <td class="hlist1">
 H
 </td>
 <td class="hlist2">
 cached
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td class="hlist1">
 M
 </td>
 <td class="hlist2">
 unmerged
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td class="hlist1">
 R
 </td>
 <td class="hlist2">
 removed/deleted
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td class="hlist1">
 C
 </td>
 <td class="hlist2">
 modified/changed
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td class="hlist1">
 K
 </td>
 <td class="hlist2">
 to be killed
 </td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
 <td class="hlist1">
 ?
 </td>
 <td class="hlist2">
 other
 </td>
 </tr>
 </table></div>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 -v
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Similar to <tt>-t</tt>, but use lowercase letters for files
  that are marked as <em>assume unchanged</em> (see
  <a href="git-update-index.html">git-update-index(1)</a>).
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --full-name
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  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.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --abbrev[=&lt;n&gt;]
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
  lines, show only handful hexdigits prefix.
  Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=&lt;n&gt;.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 &lt;file&gt;
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Files to show. If no files are given all files which match the other
  specified criteria are shown.
 </p>
 </dd>
 </dl>
 </div>
 <h2>Output</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>show files just outputs the filename unless <em>--stage</em> is specified in
 which case it outputs:</p>
 <div class="literalblock">
 <div class="content">
 <pre><tt>[&lt;tag&gt; ]&lt;mode&gt; &lt;object&gt; &lt;stage&gt; &lt;file&gt;</tt></pre>
 </div></div>
 <p>"git-ls-files --unmerged" and "git-ls-files --stage" can be used to examine
 detailed information on unmerged paths.</p>
 <p>For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA1 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 git-read-tree for more information on state)</p>
 <p>When <tt>-z</tt> option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
 in pathnames are represented as <tt>\t</tt>, <tt>\n</tt>, and <tt>\\</tt>,
 respectively.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>Exclude Patterns</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p><em>git-ls-files</em> 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. <a href="gitignore.html">gitignore(5)</a>
 specifies the format of exclude patterns.</p>
 <p>These exclude patterns come from these places, in order:</p>
 <ol>
 <li>
 <p>
 The command line flag --exclude=&lt;pattern&gt; specifies a
  single pattern. Patterns are ordered in the same order
  they appear in the command line.
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 The command line flag --exclude-from=&lt;file&gt; specifies a
  file containing a list of patterns. Patterns are ordered
  in the same order they appear in the file.
 </p>
 </li>
 <li>
 <p>
 command line flag --exclude-per-directory=&lt;name&gt; specifies
  a name of the file in each directory <em>git-ls-files</em>
  examines, normally <tt>.gitignore</tt>. Files in deeper
  directories take precedence. Patterns are ordered in the
  same order they appear in the files.
 </p>
 </li>
 </ol>
 <p>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.</p>

	<h2>Output</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<p>show files just outputs the filename unless <em>--stage</em> is specified in
	which case it outputs:</p>
	<div class="literalblock">
	<div class="content">
	<pre><tt>[<tag> ]<mode> <object> <stage> <file></tt></pre>
	</div></div>
	<p>"git-ls-files --unmerged" and "git-ls-files --stage" can be used to examine
	detailed information on unmerged paths.</p>
	<p>For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA1 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 git-read-tree for more information on state)</p>
	<p>When <tt>-z</tt> option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
	in pathnames are represented as <tt>\t</tt>, <tt>\n</tt>, and <tt>\\</tt>,
	respectively.</p>
	</div>
	<h2>Exclude Patterns</h2>
	<div class="sectionbody">
	<p><em>git-ls-files</em> 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. <a href="gitignore.html">gitignore(5)</a>
	specifies the format of exclude patterns.</p>
	<p>These exclude patterns come from these places, in order:</p>
	<ol>
	<li>
	<p>
	The command line flag --exclude=<pattern> specifies a
	single pattern. Patterns are ordered in the same order
	they appear in the command line.
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	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.
	</p>
	</li>
	<li>
	<p>
	command line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies
	a name of the file in each directory <em>git-ls-files</em>
	examines, normally <tt>.gitignore</tt>. Files in deeper
	directories take precedence. Patterns are ordered in the
	same order they appear in the files.
	</p>
	</li>
	</ol>
	<p>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.</p>
