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 the standard input, one per line, 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. + +--literally:: + Allow `--stdin` to hash any garbage into a loose object which might not + otherwise pass standard object parsing or git-fsck checks. Useful for + stress-testing Git itself or reproducing characteristics of corrupt or + bogus objects encountered in the wild. + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite |
