6 git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file
12 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin] [--] <file>...
13 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters] < <list-of-paths>
17 Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
18 with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
19 work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
20 object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output.
21 This is used by 'git cvsimport' to update the index
22 without modifying files in the work tree. When <type> is not
23 specified, it defaults to "blob".
29 Specify the type (default: "blob").
32 Actually write the object into the object database.
35 Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.
38 Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.
41 Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of
42 file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is
43 used to determine what git filters should be applied to the object
44 before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
45 applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may
46 differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing
47 temporary files located outside of the working directory or files
51 Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would
52 have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including the end-of-line
53 conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this
54 is always implied, unless the --path option is given.
