GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)		  Git Manual		    GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)

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.
