NAME¶

git-lfs-smudge - Git smudge filter that converts pointer in blobs to the actual content

SYNOPSIS¶

git lfs smudge [path] git lfs smudge --skip [path]

DESCRIPTION¶

Read a Git LFS pointer file from standard input and write the contents of the corresponding large file to standard output. If needed, download the file's contents from the Git LFS endpoint. The path argument, if provided, is only used for a progress bar.

Smudge is typically run by Git's smudge filter, configured by the repository's Git attributes.

OPTIONS¶

Without any options, git lfs smudge outputs the raw Git LFS content to standard output.

--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).

KNOWN BUGS¶

On Windows, Git does not handle files in the working tree larger than 4 gigabytes.
