| git-hash-object(1) |
| ================== |
| |
| NAME |
| ---- |
| git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally create an object from a file |
| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file> | --no-filters] |
| [--stdin [--literally]] [--] <file>... |
| 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters] |
| |
| 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. |
| When <type> is not specified, it defaults to "blob". |
| |
| OPTIONS |
| ------- |
| |
| -t <type>:: |
| Specify the type of object to be created (default: "blob"). Possible |
| values are `commit`, `tree`, `blob`, and `tag`. |
| |
| -w:: |
| Actually write the object into the object database. |
| |
| --stdin:: |
| Read the object from standard input instead of from a file. |
| |
| --stdin-paths:: |
| Read file names from the standard input, one per line, instead |
| of from the command-line. |
| |
| --path:: |
| Hash object as if it were located at the given path. The location of |
| the file does not directly influence the hash value, but the path is |
| used to determine which Git filters should be applied to the object |
| before it can be placed in the object database. As a result of |
| applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may |
| differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing |
| temporary files located outside of the working directory or files |
| read from stdin. |
| |
| --no-filters:: |
| Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would |
| have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including the end-of-line |
| conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this |
| is always implied, unless the `--path` option is given. |
| |
| --literally:: |
| Allow `--stdin` to hash any garbage into a loose object which might not |
| otherwise pass standard object parsing or git-fsck checks. Useful for |
| stress-testing Git itself or reproducing characteristics of corrupt or |
| bogus objects encountered in the wild. |
