| git-hash-object(1) | |
| ================== | |
| v0.1, May 2005 | |
| NAME | |
| ---- | |
| git-hash-object - Computes object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file. | |
| SYNOPSIS | |
| -------- | |
| 'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] <any-file-on-the-filesystem> | |
| 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-script" to update the cache | |
| 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. | |
