NAME

       git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob 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 (default: "blob").

       -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 it were located at the given path. The location of file does not
           directly influence on the hash value, but path is used to determine what Git filters
           should be applied to the object before it can be placed to the object database, and,
           as 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.
