NAME

       git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally create an object 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 of object to be created (default: "blob"). Possible values are commit, tree, blob,
           and tag.

       -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 if it were located at the given path. The location of the file does not directly
           influence the hash value, but the path is used to determine which Git filters should be applied to
           the object before it can be placed in the object database. As a 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.
