NAME

       git-lfs-smudge - Git smudge filter that converts pointer in blobs to the actual content

SYNOPSIS

       git lfs smudge [path] git lfs smudge --skip [path]

DESCRIPTION

       Read  a  Git  LFS  pointer  file  from  standard  input  and  write  the  contents  of the
       corresponding large file to standard output. If needed, download the file´s contents  from
       the Git LFS endpoint. The path argument, if provided, is only used for a progress bar.

       Smudge  is  typically  run  by  Git´s  smudge  filter,  configured by the repository´s Git
       attributes.

OPTIONS

       Without any options, git lfs smudge outputs the raw Git LFS content to standard output.

       --skip Skip automatic downloading of objects on clone or pull.

       GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE
              Disables the smudging process. For more, see: git-lfs-config(5).
