git-ls-files

Show all files cached in Git’s index, i.e. all tracked files. (This is the default if no -c/-s/-d/-o/-u/-k/-m/--resolve-undo options are specified.)

Show files with an unstaged deletion

Show files with an unstaged modification (note that an unstaged deletion also counts as an unstaged modification)

Show other (i.e. untracked) files in the output

Show only ignored files in the output. Must be used with either an explicit -c or -o. When showing files in the index (i.e. when used with -c), print only those files matching an exclude pattern. When showing "other" files (i.e. when used with -o), show only those matched by an exclude pattern. Standard ignore rules are not automatically activated; therefore, at least one of the --exclude* options is required.

Show staged contents' mode bits, object name and stage number in the output.

If a whole directory is classified as "other", show just its name (with a trailing slash) and not its whole contents. Has no effect without -o/--others.

Do not list empty directories. Has no effect without --directory.

Show information about unmerged files in the output, but do not show any other tracked files (forces --stage, overrides --cached).

Show untracked files on the filesystem that need to be removed due to file/directory conflicts for tracked files to be able to be written to the filesystem.

Show files having resolve-undo information in the index together with their resolve-undo information. (resolve-undo information is what is used to implement "git checkout -m $PATH", i.e. to recreate merge conflicts that were accidentally resolved)

\0 line termination on output and do not quote filenames. See OUTPUT below for more information.

When only filenames are shown, suppress duplicates that may come from having multiple stages during a merge, or giving --deleted and --modified option at the same time. When any of the -t, --unmerged, or --stage option is in use, this option has no effect.

Skip untracked files matching pattern. Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern. See EXCLUDE PATTERNS below for more information.

Read exclude patterns from <file>; 1 per line.

Read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the directory and its subdirectories in <file>. If you are trying to emulate the way Porcelain commands work, using the --exclude-standard option instead is easier and more thorough.

Add the standard Git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore in each directory, and the user’s global exclusion file.

If any <file> does not appear in the index, treat this as an error (return 1).

When using --error-unmatch to expand the user supplied <file> (i.e. path pattern) arguments to paths, pretend that paths which were removed in the index since the named <tree-ish> are still present. Using this option with -s or -u options does not make any sense.

Show status tags together with filenames. Note that for scripting purposes, git-status(1) --porcelain and git-diff-files(1) --name-status are almost always superior alternatives; users should look at git-status(1) --short or git-diff(1) --name-status for more user-friendly alternatives. This option provides a reason for showing each filename, in the form of a status tag (which is followed by a space and then the filename). The status tags are all single characters from the following list: H tracked file that is not either unmerged or skip-worktree S tracked file that is skip-worktree M tracked

Similar to -t, but use lowercase letters for files that are marked as assume unchanged (see git-update-index(1)).

Similar to -t, but use lowercase letters for files that are marked as fsmonitor valid (see git-update-index(1)).

When run from a subdirectory, the command usually outputs paths relative to the current directory. This option forces paths to be output relative to the project top directory.

Recursively calls ls-files on each active submodule in the repository. Currently there is only support for the --cached and --stage modes.

Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object lines, show the shortest prefix that is at least <n> hexdigits long that uniquely refers the object. Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.

After each line that describes a file, add more data about its cache entry. This is intended to show as much information as possible for manual inspection; the exact format may change at any time.

Show <eolinfo> and <eolattr> of files. <eolinfo> is the file content identification used by Git when the "text" attribute is "auto" (or not set and core.autocrlf is not false). <eolinfo> is either "-text", "none", "lf", "crlf", "mixed" or "". "" means the file is not a regular file, it is not in the index or not accessible in the working tree. <eolattr> is the attribute that is used when checking out or committing, it is either "", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf". Since Git 2.10 "text=auto eol=lf" and "text=auto eol=crlf" are supported. Both the <eolinfo> in the in

If the index is sparse, show the sparse directories without expanding to the contained files. Sparse directories will be shown with a trailing slash, such as "x/" for a sparse directory "x".

A string that interpolates %(fieldname) from the result being shown. It also interpolates %% to %, and %xXX where XX are hex digits interpolates to character with hex code XX; for example %x00 interpolates to \0 (NUL), %x09 to \t (TAB) and %x0a to \n (LF). --format cannot be combined with -s, -o, -k, -t, --resolve-undo and --eol.
