git-ls-tree - Lists the contents of a tree object.
git-ls-tree [-d] [-r] [-t] [-z] [--name-only] [--name-status] <tree-ish> [paths…]
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.
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.
