NAME
git-hash-object - Computes object ID and optionally
creates a blob from a file
SYNOPSIS
git-hash-object [-t <type>] [-w]
[--stdin] [--] <file>
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. This is used by "git-cvsimport" to update the
index without modifying files in the work tree. 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.
