31 git-write-tree \- Create a tree object from the current index
35 \fIgit write\-tree\fR [\-\-missing\-ok] [\-\-prefix=<prefix>/]
40 Creates a tree object using the current index\&. The name of the new tree object is printed to standard output\&.
42 The index must be in a fully merged state\&.
44 Conceptually, \fIgit write\-tree\fR 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 \fIgit update\-index\fR phase before you did the \fIgit write\-tree\fR\&.
51 ensures that the objects referenced by the directory exist in the object database\&. This option disables this check\&.
56 Writes a tree object that represents a subdirectory
57 \fB<prefix>\fR\&. This can be used to write the tree object for a subproject that is in the named subdirectory\&.
61 Part of the \fBgit\fR(1) suite
