git-write-tree(1)

NAME

   git-write-tree - Create a tree object from the current index

SYNOPSIS

   git write-tree [--missing-ok] [--prefix=<prefix>/]

DESCRIPTION

   Creates a tree object using the current index. 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.
