6 git-show-index - Show packed archive index
17 Read the `.idx` file for a Git packfile (created with
18 linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] or linkgit:git-index-pack[1]) from the
19 standard input, and dump its contents. The output consists of one object
20 per line, with each line containing two or three space-separated
23 - the first column is the offset in bytes of the object within the
24 corresponding packfile
26 - the second column is the object id of the object
28 - if the index version is 2 or higher, the third column contains the
29 CRC32 of the object data
31 The objects are output in the order in which they are found in the index
32 file, which should be (in a correctly constructed file) sorted by object
35 Note that you can get more information on a packfile by calling
36 linkgit:git-verify-pack[1]. However, as this command considers only the
37 index file itself, it's both faster and more flexible.
