1 git-write-tree(1)
2 =================
4 NAME
5 ----
6 git-write-tree - Creates a tree object from the current index
9 SYNOPSIS
10 --------
11 'git-write-tree' [--missing-ok]
13 DESCRIPTION
14 -----------
15 Creates a tree object using the current index.
17 The index must be in a fully merged state.
19 Conceptually, `git-write-tree` sync()s the current index contents
20 into a set of tree files.
21 In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right
22 now, you need to have done a `git-update-index` phase before you did the
23 `git-write-tree`.
26 OPTIONS
27 -------
28 --missing-ok::
29         Normally `git-write-tree` ensures that the objects referenced by the
30         directory exist in the object database.  This option disables this
31         check.
