GIT-SHOW-INDEX(1) Git Manual GIT-SHOW-INDEX(1)
git-show-index - Show packed archive index
git show-index [--object-format=<hash-algorithm>]
Read the .idx file for a Git packfile (created with
git-pack-objects(1) or git-index-pack(1)) from the standard input,
and dump its contents. The output consists of one object per line,
with each line containing two or three space-separated columns:
· the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within the
corresponding packfile
· the second column is the object id of the object
· if the index version is 2 or higher, the third column contains
the CRC32 of the object data
The objects are output in the order in which they are found in the
index file, which should be (in a correctly constructed file) sorted
by object id.
Note that you can get more information on a packfile by calling
git-verify-pack(1). However, as this command considers only the index
file itself, it’s both faster and more flexible.
--object-format=<hash-algorithm>
Specify the given object format (hash algorithm) for the index
file. The valid values are sha1 and (if enabled) sha256. The
default is the algorithm for the current repository (set by
extensions.objectFormat), or sha1 if no value is set or outside a
repository..
