279 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
\r
280 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
281 <p>Will copy all files listed from the index to the working directory
\r
282 (not overwriting existing files).</p>
\r
285 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
292 update stat information for the checked out entries in
\r
301 be quiet if files exist or are not in the index
\r
309 forces overwrite of existing files
\r
317 checks out all files in the index. Cannot be used
\r
318 together with explicit filenames.
\r
326 Don't checkout new files, only refresh files already checked
\r
331 --prefix=<string>
\r
335 When creating files, prepend <string> (usually a directory
\r
336 including a trailing /)
\r
340 --stage=<number>
\r
344 Instead of checking out unmerged entries, copy out the
\r
345 files from named stage. <number> must be between 1 and 3.
\r
353 Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
\r
357 <p>The order of the flags used to matter, but not anymore.</p>
\r
358 <p>Just doing <tt>git-checkout-index</tt> does nothing. You probably meant
\r
359 <tt>git-checkout-index -a</tt>. And if you want to force it, you want
\r
360 <tt>git-checkout-index -f -a</tt>.</p>
\r
361 <p>Intuitiveness is not the goal here. Repeatability is. The reason for
\r
362 the "no arguments means no work" behavior is that from scripts you are
\r
363 supposed to be able to do:</p>
\r
364 <div class="listingblock">
\r
365 <div class="content">
\r
366 <pre><tt>$ find . -name '*.h' -print0 | xargs -0 git-checkout-index -f --</tt></pre>
\r
368 <p>which will force all existing <tt>*.h</tt> files to be replaced with their
\r
369 cached copies. If an empty command line implied "all", then this would
\r
370 force-refresh everything in the index, which was not the point.</p>
\r
371 <p>The <tt>--</tt> is just a good idea when you know the rest will be filenames;
\r
372 it will prevent problems with a filename of, for example, <tt>-a</tt>.
\r
373 Using <tt>--</tt> is probably a good policy in scripts.</p>
\r
376 <div class="sectionbody">
\r
379 To update and refresh only the files already checked out
\r
382 <div class="listingblock">
\r
383 <div class="content">
\r
384 <pre><tt>$ git-checkout-index -n -f -a && git-update-index --ignore-missing --refresh</tt></pre>
\r
388 Using <tt>git-checkout-index</tt> to "export an entire tree"
\r
392 The prefix ability basically makes it trivial to use
\r
393 <tt>git-checkout-index</tt> as an "export as tree" function.
\r
394 Just read the desired tree into the index, and do:
\r
396 <div class="listingblock">
\r
397 <div class="content">
\r
398 <pre><tt>$ git-checkout-index --prefix=git-export-dir/ -a</tt></pre>
\r
400 <p><tt>git-checkout-index</tt> will "export" the index into the specified
\r
402 <p>The final "/" is important. The exported name is literally just
\r
403 prefixed with the specified string. Contrast this with the
\r
404 following example.</p>
\r
407 Export files with a prefix
\r
410 <div class="listingblock">
\r
411 <div class="content">
\r
412 <pre><tt>$ git-checkout-index --prefix=.merged- Makefile</tt></pre>
\r
414 <p>This will check out the currently cached copy of <tt>Makefile</tt>
\r
415 into the file <tt>.merged-Makefile</tt>.</p>
