GIT-WRITE-TREE(1) Git Manual GIT-WRITE-TREE(1)NAMEgit-write-tree - Create a tree object from the current index
SYNOPSISgit-write-tree [--missing-ok] [--prefix=<prefix>/]
DESCRIPTION
Creates a tree object using the current index.
The index must be in a fully merged state.
Conceptually, git-write-treesync()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.
