.SH "NAME"
git-mktree \- Build a tree\-object from ls\-tree formatted text
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
.nf
\fIgit mktree\fR [\-z] [\-\-missing] [\-\-batch]
.fi
.sp
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Reads standard input in non\-recursive \fBls\-tree\fR output format, and creates a tree object\&. The order of the tree entries is normalized by mktree so pre\-sorting the input is not required\&. The object name of the tree object built is written to the standard output\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\-z
.RS 4
Read the NUL\-terminated
\fBls\-tree \-z\fR
output instead\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-missing
.RS 4
Allow missing objects\&. The default behaviour (without this option) is to verify that each tree entry\(cqs hash identifies an existing object\&. This option has no effect on the treatment of gitlink entries (aka "submodules") which are always allowed to be missing\&.
.RE
.PP
\-\-batch
.RS 4
Allow building of more than one tree object before exiting\&. Each tree is separated by a single blank line\&. The final newline is optional\&. Note \- if the
\fB\-z\fR
option is used, lines are terminated with NUL\&.
