GIT-WRITE-TREE(1)                                            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.
