NAME

       git-lfs-pointer - Build, compare, and check pointers

SYNOPSIS

       git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file
       git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file --pointer=path/to/pointer
       git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file --stdin git lfs pointer --check --file=path/to/file

Description

       Builds  and  optionally  compares  generated  pointer  files to ensure consistency between
       different Git LFS implementations.

OPTIONS

       --file A local file to build the pointer from.

       --pointer
              A  local  file  including  the  contents  of  a  pointer  generated  from   another
              implementation. This is compared to the pointer generated from --file.

       --stdin
              Reads the pointer from STDIN to compare with the pointer generated from --file.

       --check
              Reads  the  pointer from STDIN (if --stdin is given) or the filepath (if --file) is
              given. If neither or both of --stdin  and  --file  are  given,  the  invocation  is
              invalid. Exits 0 if the data read is a valid Git LFS pointer. Exits 1 otherwise.
