git show-index

Show the packed archive index of a Git repository. More information: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-show-index.

• Read an IDX file for a Git packfile and dump its contents to stdout:

git show-index {{path/to/file.idx}}

• Specify the hash algorithm for the index file (experimental):

git show-index --object-format={{sha1|sha256}} {{path/to/file}}
