NAME¶
git-lfs-pointer - Build, compare, and check pointers
SYNOPSIS¶
git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file
git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file
--pointer=path/to/pointer
git lfs pointer --file=path/to/file --stdin
git lfs pointer --check --file=path/to/file
DESCRIPTION¶
Builds and optionally compares generated pointer files to ensure consistency between different Git LFS implementations.
OPTIONS¶
--file
A local file to build the pointer from.
--pointer
A local file including the contents of a pointer
generated from another implementation. This is compared to the pointer
generated from --file.
--stdin
Reads the pointer from STDIN to compare with the pointer
generated from --file.
--check
Reads the pointer from STDIN (if
--stdin is given) or the filepath (if
--file) is given. If neither or both of
--stdin and --file are given,
the invocation is invalid. Exits 0 if the data read is a valid Git LFS
pointer. Exits 1 otherwise.
--strict, --no-strict
In conjunction with --check,
--strict verifies that the pointer is canonical; that
is, it would be the one created by Git LFS. If it is not, exits 2. The
default, for backwards compatibility, is --no-strict,
but this may change in a future version.
