NAME

6       git-lfs-pointer - Build, compare, and check pointers
7

SYNOPSIS

9       git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file
10       git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file --pointer=path/to/pointer
11       git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file --stdin
12       git lfs pointer --check --file=path/to/file
13

DESCRIPTION

15       Builds and optionally compares generated pointer files to ensure
16       consistency between different Git LFS implementations.
17

OPTIONS

19       --file
20           A local file to build the pointer from.
21
22       --pointer
23           A local file including the contents of a pointer generated from
24           another implementation. This is compared to the pointer generated
25           from --file.
26
27       --stdin
28           Reads the pointer from STDIN to compare with the pointer generated
29           from --file.
30
31       --check
32           Reads the pointer from STDIN (if --stdin is given) or the filepath
33           (if --file) is given. If neither or both of --stdin and --file are
34           given, the invocation is invalid. Exits 0 if the data read is a
35           valid Git LFS pointer. Exits 1 otherwise.
36
37       --strict, --no-strict
38           In conjunction with --check, --strict verifies that the pointer is
39           canonical; that is, it would be the one created by Git LFS. If it
40           is not, exits 2. The default, for backwards compatibility, is
41           --no-strict, but this may change in a future version.
