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.

       --strict:

       --no-strict
              In conjunction with --check, --strict verifies that the pointer is canonical; that is, it would be
              the one created by Git LFS. If it is not, exits 2. The default, for  backwards  compatibility,  is
              --no-strict, but this may change in a future version.
