| 4 | NAME |
| 5 | ---- |
| 6 | git-write-tree - Create a tree object from the current index |
| 7 | |

| 9 | SYNOPSIS |
| 10 | -------- |
| 11 | [synopsis] |
| 12 | git write-tree [--missing-ok] [--prefix=<prefix>/] |
| 13 | |
| 14 | DESCRIPTION |
| 15 | ----------- |
| 16 | Creates a tree object using the current index. The name of the new |
| 17 | tree object is printed to standard output. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | The index must be in a fully merged state. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Conceptually, `git write-tree` sync()s the current index contents |
| 22 | into a set of tree files. |
| 23 | In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right |
| 24 | now, you need to have done a `git update-index` phase before you did the |
| 25 | `git write-tree`. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | |
| 28 | OPTIONS |
| 29 | ------- |
| 30 | `--missing-ok`:: |
| 31 | Normally `git write-tree` ensures that the objects referenced by the |
| 32 | directory exist in the object database. This option disables this |
| 33 | check. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | `--prefix=<prefix>/`:: |
| 36 | Writes a tree object that represents a subdirectory |
| 37 | _<prefix>_. This can be used to write the tree object |
| 38 | for a subproject that is in the named subdirectory. |
