скопируйте файлы из индекса в рабочее дерево (Copy files from the index to the working tree)
Имя (Name)
git-checkout-index - Copy files from the index to the working
tree
Синопсис (Synopsis)
git checkout-index [-u] [-q] [-a] [-f] [-n] [--prefix=<string>]
[--stage=<number>|all]
[--temp]
[-z] [--stdin]
[--] [<file>...]
Описание (Description)
Will copy all files listed from the index to the working
directory (not overwriting existing files).
Параметры (Options)
-u, --index
update stat information for the checked out entries in the
index file.
-q, --quiet
be quiet if files exist or are not in the index
-f, --force
forces overwrite of existing files
-a, --all
checks out all files in the index. Cannot be used together
with explicit filenames.
-n, --no-create
Don't checkout new files, only refresh files already checked
out.
--prefix=<string>
When creating files, prepend <string> (usually a directory
including a trailing /)
--stage=<number>|all
Instead of checking out unmerged entries, copy out the files
from named stage. <number> must be between 1 and 3. Note:
--stage=all automatically implies --temp.
--temp
Instead of copying the files to the working directory write
the content to temporary files. The temporary name
associations will be written to stdout.
--stdin
Instead of taking list of paths from the command line, read
list of paths from the standard input. Paths are separated by
LF (i.e. one path per line) by default.
-z
Only meaningful with --stdin; paths are separated with NUL
character instead of LF.
--
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
The order of the flags used to matter, but not anymore.
Just doing git checkout-index does nothing. You probably meant
git checkout-index -a. And if you want to force it, you want git
checkout-index -f -a.
Intuitiveness is not the goal here. Repeatability is. The reason
for the "no arguments means no work" behavior is that from
scripts you are supposed to be able to do:
$ find . -name '*.h' -print0 | xargs -0 git checkout-index -f --
which will force all existing *.h files to be replaced with their
cached copies. If an empty command line implied "all", then this
would force-refresh everything in the index, which was not the
point. But since git checkout-index accepts --stdin it would be
faster to use:
$ find . -name '*.h' -print0 | git checkout-index -f -z --stdin
The -- is just a good idea when you know the rest will be
filenames; it will prevent problems with a filename of, for
example, -a. Using -- is probably a good policy in scripts.
USING --TEMP OR --STAGE=ALL
When --temp is used (or implied by --stage=all) git
checkout-index will create a temporary file for each index entry
being checked out. The index will not be updated with stat
information. These options can be useful if the caller needs all
stages of all unmerged entries so that the unmerged files can be
processed by an external merge tool.
A listing will be written to stdout providing the association of
temporary file names to tracked path names. The listing format
has two variations:
1. tempname TAB path RS
The first format is what gets used when --stage is omitted or
is not --stage=all. The field tempname is the temporary file
name holding the file content and path is the tracked path
name in the index. Only the requested entries are output.
2. stage1temp SP stage2temp SP stage3tmp TAB path RS
The second format is what gets used when --stage=all. The
three stage temporary fields (stage1temp, stage2temp,
stage3temp) list the name of the temporary file if there is a
stage entry in the index or . if there is no stage entry.
Paths which only have a stage 0 entry will always be omitted
from the output.
In both formats RS (the record separator) is newline by default
but will be the null byte if -z was passed on the command line.
The temporary file names are always safe strings; they will never
contain directory separators or whitespace characters. The path
field is always relative to the current directory and the
temporary file names are always relative to the top level
directory.
If the object being copied out to a temporary file is a symbolic
link the content of the link will be written to a normal file. It
is up to the end-user or the Porcelain to make use of this
information.
Примеры (Examples)
To update and refresh only the files already checked out
$ git checkout-index -n -f -a && git update-index --ignore-missing --refresh
Using git checkout-index to "export an entire tree"
The prefix ability basically makes it trivial to use git
checkout-index as an "export as tree" function. Just read the
desired tree into the index, and do:
$ git checkout-index --prefix=git-export-dir/ -a
git checkout-index will "export" the index into the specified
directory.
The final "/" is important. The exported name is literally
just prefixed with the specified string. Contrast this with
the following example.
Export files with a prefix
$ git checkout-index --prefix=.merged- Makefile
This will check out the currently cached copy of Makefile
into the file .merged-Makefile.
