6 git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file
12 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin [--literally]] [--] <file>...
13 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters]
17 Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
18 with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
19 work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
20 object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output.
21 When <type> is not specified, it defaults to "blob".
27 Specify the type (default: "blob").
30 Actually write the object into the object database.
33 Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.
36 Read file names from the standard input, one per line, instead
37 of from the command-line.
40 Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of
41 file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is
42 used to determine what Git filters should be applied to the object
43 before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
44 applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may
45 differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing
46 temporary files located outside of the working directory or files
50 Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would
51 have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including the end-of-line
52 conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this
53 is always implied, unless the `--path` option is given.
56 Allow `--stdin` to hash any garbage into a loose object which might not
57 otherwise pass standard object parsing or git-fsck checks. Useful for
58 stress-testing Git itself or reproducing characteristics of corrupt or
59 bogus objects encountered in the wild.
