NAME¶
git-cat-file - Provide content or type and size information for repository objectsSYNOPSIS¶
git cat-file (-t | -s | -e | -p | <type> | --textconv ) <object> git cat-file (--batch | --batch-check) < <list-of-objects>
DESCRIPTION¶
In its first form, the command provides the content or the type of an object in the repository. The type is required unless -t or -p is used to find the object type, or -s is used to find the object size, or --textconv is used (which implies type "blob").OPTIONS¶
<object>The name of the object to show. For a more
complete list of ways to spell object names, see the "SPECIFYING
REVISIONS" section in gitrevisions(7).
-t
Instead of the content, show the object type
identified by <object>.
-s
Instead of the content, show the object size
identified by <object>.
-e
Suppress all output; instead exit with zero
status if <object> exists and is a valid object.
-p
Pretty-print the contents of <object>
based on its type.
<type>
Typically this matches the real type of
<object> but asking for a type that can trivially be dereferenced from
the given <object> is also permitted. An example is to ask for a
"tree" with <object> being a commit object that contains it,
or to ask for a "blob" with <object> being a tag object that
points at it.
--textconv
Show the content as transformed by a textconv
filter. In this case, <object> has be of the form
<treeish>:<path>, or :<path> in order to apply the filter to
the content recorded in the index at <path>.
--batch
Print the SHA1, type, size, and contents of
each object provided on stdin. May not be combined with any other options or
arguments.
--batch-check
Print the SHA1, type, and size of each object
provided on stdin. May not be combined with any other options or
arguments.
OUTPUT¶
If -t is specified, one of the <type>.<sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF <contents> LF
<sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF
<object> SP missing LF
