GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)                                          GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)



NAME
       git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from
       a file

SYNOPSIS
       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin] [--] <file>...
       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters] < <list-of-paths>





DESCRIPTION
       Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type with the
       contents of the named file (which can be outside of the work tree), and
       optionally writes the resulting object into the object database.
       Reports its object ID to its standard output. This is used by git
       cvsimport to update the index without modifying files in the work tree.
       When <type> is not specified, it defaults to "blob".


OPTIONS
       -t <type>
              Specify the type (default: "blob").


       -w     Actually write the object into the object database.


       --stdin
              Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.


       --stdin-paths
              Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.


       --path Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location
              of file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path
              is used to determine what git filters should be applied to the
              object before it can be placed to the object database, and, as
              result of applying filters, the actual blob put into the object
              database may differ from the given file. This option is mainly
              useful for hashing temporary files located outside of the
              working directory or files read from stdin.


       --no-filters
              Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would
              have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including the
              end-of-line conversion. If the file is read from standard input
              then this is always implied, unless the --path option is given.
