9SYNOPSIS
10--------
11[synopsis]
12git write-tree [--missing-ok] [--prefix=<prefix>/]
13
14DESCRIPTION
15-----------
16Creates a tree object using the current index. The name of the new
17tree object is printed to standard output.
18
19The index must be in a fully merged state.
20
21Conceptually, `git write-tree` sync()s the current index contents
22into a set of tree files.
23In order to have that match what is actually in your directory right
24now, you need to have done a `git update-index` phase before you did the
25`git write-tree`.

28OPTIONS
29-------
30`--missing-ok`::
31 Normally `git write-tree` ensures that the objects referenced by the
32 directory exist in the object database. This option disables this
33 check.
34
35`--prefix=<prefix>/`::
36 Writes a tree object that represents a subdirectory
37 _<prefix>_. This can be used to write the tree object
38 for a subproject that is in the named subdirectory.
