git-ls-tree - Lists the contents of a tree object
Lists the contents of a given tree object, like what "/bin/ls -a" does in the current working directory. Note that the usage is subtly different, though - paths denote just a list of patterns to match, e.g. so specifying directory name (without -r) will behave differently, and order of the arguments does not matter.
Id of a tree-ish.
Show only the named tree entry itself, not its children.
Recurse into sub-trees.
Show tree entries even when going to recurse them. Has no effect if -r was not passed. -d implies -t.
\0 line termination on output.
List only filenames (instead of the "long" output), one per line.
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=<n>.
Instead of showing the path names relative to the current working directory, show the full path names.
When paths are given, show them (note that this isn't really raw pathnames, but rather a list of patterns to match). Otherwise implicitly uses the root level of the tree as the sole path argument.
<mode> SP <type> SP <object> TAB <file>
When the -z option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters in pathnames are represented as \t, \n, and \\, respectively.
