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]
11                       [--stdin [--literally]] [--] <file>...
12       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters]
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type with the
16       contents of the named file (which can be outside of the work tree), and
17       optionally writes the resulting object into the object database.
18       Reports its object ID to its standard output. When <type> is not
19       specified, it defaults to "blob".
20

OPTIONS

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