git-mktree

git mktree [options]

git mktree creates a tree object from ls-tree formatted input. It reads file modes, object types, hashes, and names from stdin, creating a new tree object containing those entries. The command is the inverse of `git ls-tree`.This plumbing tool enables programmatic tree creation and manipulation in scripts. Input must be properly formatted with each line specifying mode, type, hash, and filename. With `--batch`, it accepts multiple tree descriptions separated by blank lines and writes one tree object per batch, printing each resulting hash.

--missing

Allow missing objects.

NUL-terminated input.

Process multiple trees.

Plumbing command. Input must be properly formatted. Objects must exist unless --missing.
