10 git lfs smudge [<path>]

12
14 Read a Git LFS pointer file from standard input and write the contents
15 of the corresponding large file to standard output. If needed, download
16 the file’s contents from the Git LFS endpoint. The argument, if
17 provided, is only used for a progress bar.
18
19 Smudge is typically run by Git’s smudge filter, configured by the
20 repository’s Git attributes.
21
22 In your Git configuration or in a .lfsconfig file, you may set either
23 or both of lfs.fetchinclude and lfs.fetchexclude to comma-separated
24 lists of paths. If lfs.fetchinclude is defined, Git LFS pointer files
25 will only be replaced with the contents of the corresponding Git LFS
26 object file if their path matches one in that list, and if
27 lfs.fetchexclude is defined, Git LFS pointer files will only be
28 replaced with the contents of the corresponding Git LFS object file if
29 their path does not match one in that list. Paths are matched using
30 wildcard matching as per gitignore(5). Git LFS pointer files that are
31 not replaced with the contents of their corresponding object files are
32 simply copied to standard output without change.
33
35 Without any options, git lfs smudge outputs the raw Git LFS content to
36 standard output.
37
38 --skip
39 Skip automatic downloading of objects on clone or pull.

45 On Windows, Git before 2.34.0 does not handle files in the working tree
46 larger than 4 gigabytes. Newer versions of Git, as well as Unix
47 versions, are unaffected.
