| 6 | git-show-index - Show packed archive index |

| 9 | SYNOPSIS |
| 10 | -------- |
| 11 | [verse] |
| 12 | 'git show-index' [--object-format=<hash-algorithm>] < <pack-idx-file> |
| 13 | |
| 14 | |
| 15 | DESCRIPTION |
| 16 | ----------- |
| 17 | Read the `.idx` file for a Git packfile (created with |
| 18 | linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] or linkgit:git-index-pack[1]) from the |
| 19 | standard input, and dump its contents. The output consists of one object |
| 20 | per line, with each line containing two or three space-separated |
| 21 | columns: |
| 22 | |
| 23 | - the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within the |
| 24 | corresponding packfile |
| 25 | |
| 26 | - the second column is the object id of the object |
| 27 | |
| 28 | - if the index version is 2 or higher, the third column contains the |
| 29 | CRC32 of the object data |
| 30 | |
| 31 | The objects are output in the order in which they are found in the index |
| 32 | file, which should be (in a correctly constructed file) sorted by object |
| 33 | id. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | Note that you can get more information on a packfile by calling |
| 36 | linkgit:git-verify-pack[1]. However, as this command considers only the |
| 37 | index file itself, it's both faster and more flexible. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | OPTIONS |
| 40 | ------- |
| 41 | |
| 42 | --object-format=<hash-algorithm>:: |
| 43 | Specify the given object format (hash algorithm) for the index file. The |
| 44 | valid values are 'sha1' and (if enabled) 'sha256'. The default is the |
| 45 | algorithm for the current repository (set by `extensions.objectFormat`), or |
| 46 | 'sha1' if no value is set or outside a repository.. |
