| git-hash-object(1) |
| ================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-hash-object - Computes object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| 'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--stdin] [--] <file>... |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type |
| with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the |
| work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the |
| object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output. |
| This is used by "git-cvsimport" to update the index |
| without modifying files in the work tree. When <type> is not |
| specified, it defaults to "blob". |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| |
| -t <type>:: |
| Specify the type (default: "blob"). |
| |
| -w:: |
| Actually write the object into the object database. |
| |
| --stdin:: |
| Read the object from standard input instead of from a file. |
