GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)                Git Manual                GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)
NAME
       git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally create an object
       from a file
SYNOPSIS
       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file> | --no-filters]
                       [--stdin [--literally]] [--] <file>...
       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters]
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. When <type> is not
       specified, it defaults to "blob".
OPTIONS
       -t <type>
           Specify the type of object to be created (default: "blob").
           Possible values are commit, tree, blob, and tag.
       -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 if it were located at the given path. The location
           of the file does not directly influence the hash value, but the
           path is used to determine which Git filters should be applied to
           the object before it can be placed in the object database. As a
           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.
