| 9 | SYNOPSIS |
| 10 | -------- |
| 11 | 'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--stdin] [--] <file>... |
| 12 | |
| 13 | DESCRIPTION |
| 14 | ----------- |
| 15 | Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type |
| 16 | with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the |
| 17 | work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the |
| 18 | object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output. |
| 19 | This is used by "git-cvsimport" to update the index |
| 20 | without modifying files in the work tree. When <type> is not |
| Junio C Hamano | a77a513 | 2007-06-08 16:13:44 | [diff] [blame] | 21 | specified, it defaults to "blob". |
