 information.

--deduplicate::
	When only filenames are shown, suppress duplicates that may
	come from having multiple stages during a merge, or giving
	`--deleted` and `--modified` option at the same time.
	When any of the `-t`, `--unmerged`, or `--stage` option is
	in use, this option has no effect.

-x <pattern>::
--exclude=<pattern>::
	Skip untracked files matching pattern.
	Note that pattern is a shell wildcard pattern. See EXCLUDE PATTERNS
	below for more information.

-X <file>::
--exclude-from=<file>::
	Read exclude patterns from <file>; 1 per line.

--exclude-per-directory=<file>::
	Read additional exclude patterns that apply only to the
	directory and its subdirectories in <file>.  If you are
	trying to emulate the way Porcelain commands work, using
	the `--exclude-standard` option instead is easier and more
	thorough.

--exclude-standard::
	Add the standard Git exclusions: .git/info/exclude, .gitignore
	in each directory, and the user's global exclusion file.

--error-unmatch::
	If any <file> does not appear in the index, treat this as an
	error (return 1).

--with-tree=<tree-ish>::
	When using --error-unmatch to expand the user supplied
	<file> (i.e. path pattern) arguments to paths, pretend
	that paths which were removed in the index since the
	named <tree-ish> are still present.  Using this option
	with `-s` or `-u` options does not make any sense.

-t::
	Show status tags together with filenames.  Note that for
	scripting purposes, linkgit:git-status[1] `--porcelain` and
	linkgit:git-diff-files[1] `--name-status` are almost always
	superior alternatives; users should look at
	linkgit:git-status[1] `--short` or linkgit:git-diff[1]
	`--name-status` for more user-friendly alternatives.

--
This option provides a reason for showing each filename, in the form
of a status tag (which is followed by a space and then the filename).
The status tags are all single characters from the following list:

	H::	tracked file that is not either unmerged or skip-worktree
	S::	tracked file that is skip-worktree
	M::	tracked file that is unmerged
	R::	tracked file with unstaged removal/deletion
	C::	tracked file with unstaged modification/change
	K::	untracked paths which are part of file/directory conflicts
		which prevent checking out tracked files
	?::	untracked file
	U::     file with resolve-undo information
--

-v::
	Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
	that are marked as 'assume unchanged' (see
	linkgit:git-update-index[1]).

-f::
	Similar to `-t`, but use lowercase letters for files
	that are marked as 'fsmonitor valid' (see
	linkgit:git-update-index[1]).

--full-name::
	When run from a subdirectory, the command usually
	outputs paths relative to the current directory.  This
	option forces paths to be output relative to the project
	top directory.

--recurse-submodules::
	Recursively calls ls-files on each active submodule in the repository.
	Currently there is only support for the --cached and --stage modes.

--abbrev[=<n>]::
	Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal object
	lines, show the shortest prefix that is at least '<n>'
	hexdigits long that uniquely refers the object.
	Non default number of digits can be specified with --abbrev=<n>.

--debug::
	After each line that describes a file, add more data about its
	cache entry.  This is intended to show as much information as
	possible for manual inspection; the exact format may change at
	any time.

--eol::
	Show <eolinfo> and <eolattr> of files.
	<eolinfo> is the file content identification used by Git when
	the "text" attribute is "auto" (or not set and core.autocrlf is not false).
	<eolinfo> is either "-text", "none", "lf", "crlf", "mixed" or "".
+
"" means the file is not a regular file, it is not in the index or
not accessible in the working tree.
+
<eolattr> is the attribute that is used when checking out or committing,
it is either "", "-text", "text", "text=auto", "text eol=lf", "text eol=crlf".
Since Git 2.10 "text=auto eol=lf" and "text=auto

Title: Git Ls-Files Options
Summary
The git-ls-files command provides various options to customize its output, including filtering files based on their status, excluding files or patterns, showing file information, and customizing the output format, allowing users to tailor the command to their specific needs.
