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).
