git-show-index:tldr:47292
The command git show-index ${filename-idx}
is not a valid git command, and it is not recognized by the git system. It seems to be an example command that illustrates the usage of the git show-index
command with the placeholder ${filename-idx}
.
The git show-index
command is used to display the contents of the index file in a human-readable format. The index file, also known as the staging area or the cache, is a binary file in Git that stores the information about the files and changes staged for the next commit.
Typically, the git show-index
command is used without any additional arguments, like this:
git show-index
This will display the detailed information about the files in the index, including their object IDs, file modes, and the pathnames.
However, the ${filename-idx}
part in the example command is not a valid argument or placeholder for the actual filename in the index file. If you have a specific index file (e.g., .git/index
, .git/index.lock
), you can directly specify its path and name after the git show-index
command to display the content of that particular index file.
In summary, git show-index ${filename-idx}
is not a valid git command, and the placeholder ${filename-idx}
needs to be replaced with the actual path and name of the index file you want to display.
