The name of the new +tree object is printed to standard output. + +The index must be in a fully merged state. + +Conceptually, `git write-tree` sync()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. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
