I have just performed git add --interactive
, so the index version of some files is different than the working-directory versions. Instead of doing git diff --cached
, I want to actually dump the contents of each file in the index, but I can't find a command to do that. I should think that there would be something like git show INDEX:filename...
, but "INDEX" is not a valid object name.
I was able to do git ls --cached
, then git show <hash>
, but there should be a more straightforward method to see what you are committing.
Yes, simply:
git show :filename
If you have multiple index versions (such as in a merge conflict situation) you can view versions in different index slots with:
git show :1:filename
git show :2:filename
git show :3:filename
In most other situations only slot 0 is populated and :0:filename
is the identifer for the cached version of the file. :filename
is a shorthand for :0:filename
.
