GIT-SHOW-INDEX(1)		  Git Manual		     GIT-SHOW-INDEX(1)

NAME
       git-show-index -	Show packed archive index

SYNOPSIS
       git show-index [--object-format=<hash-algorithm>]

DESCRIPTION
       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:

       o   the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within	the
	   corresponding packfile

       o   the second column is	the object id of the object

       o   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.

OPTIONS
       --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..
