NAME
git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally create an object from a file
SYNOPSIS
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.
