NAME

6       git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from
7       a file
8

SYNOPSIS

10       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin [--literally]] [--] <file>...
11       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type with the
15       contents of the named file (which can be outside of the work tree), and
16       optionally writes the resulting object into the object database.
17       Reports its object ID to its standard output. When <type> is not
18       specified, it defaults to "blob".
19

OPTIONS

21       -t <type>
22           Specify the type (default: "blob").
23
24       -w
25           Actually write the object into the object database.
26
27       --stdin
28           Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.
29
30       --stdin-paths
31           Read file names from the standard input, one per line, instead of
32           from the command-line.
33
34       --path
35           Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of
36           file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is
37           used to determine what Git filters should be applied to the object
38           before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
39           applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may
40           differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for
41           hashing temporary files located outside of the working directory or
42           files read from stdin.
43
44       --no-filters
45           Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would have
46           been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including the end-of-line
47           conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this is
48           always implied, unless the --path option is given.
49
50       --literally
51           Allow --stdin to hash any garbage into a loose object which might
52           not otherwise pass standard object parsing or git-fsck checks.
53           Useful for stress-testing Git itself or reproducing characteristics
54           of corrupt or bogus objects encountered in the wild.
