GIT-LFS-POINTER(1) | General Commands Manual | GIT-LFS-POINTER(1) |
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.
