NAME

       git-lfs-filter-process  -  Git  filter  process  that  converts between pointer and actual
       content

SYNOPSIS

       git lfs filter-process git lfs filter-process --skip

DESCRIPTION

       Implement the Git process filter API, exchanging handshake messages and then accepting and
       responding to requests to either clean or smudge a file.

       filter-process  is  always  run  by  Git's  filter  process,  and  is  configured  by  the
       repository's Git attributes.

       In your Git configuration or in  a  .lfsconfig  file,  you  may  set  either  or  both  of
       lfs.fetchinclude   and   lfs.fetchexclude   to   comma-separated   lists   of   paths.  If
       lfs.fetchinclude is defined, Git LFS pointer files will only be replaced with the contents
       of  the  corresponding  Git LFS object file if their path matches one in that list, and if
       lfs.fetchexclude is defined, Git LFS pointer files will only be replaced with the contents
       of  the  corresponding  Git LFS object file if their path does not match one in that list.
       Paths are matched using wildcard matching as per gitignore(5). Git LFS pointer files  that
       are  not  replaced with the contents of their corresponding object files are simply copied
       to standard output without change.

       The filter process uses Git's pkt-line protocol  to  communicate,  and  is  documented  in
       detail in gitattributes(5).

OPTIONS

       Without any options, filter-process accepts and responds to requests normally.

       --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).
