NAME

git-write-tree - Create a tree object from the current index

SYNOPSIS

git write-tree [--missing-ok] [--prefix=<prefix>/]

DESCRIPTION

Creates a tree object using the current index. The name of the newtree object is printed to standard output.

The index must be in a fully merged state.

Conceptually, git write-tree sync()s the current index contentsinto a set of tree files.In order to have that match what is actually in your directory rightnow, you need to have done a git update-index phase before you did thegit write-tree.
