GIT-WRITE-TREE(1)                                          Git Manual                                          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.
