git-lfs-filter-process

Name

git-lfs-filter-process — Git filter process that converts between pointer and actual content

Synopsis

git-lfs-filter-process [OPTIONS]

Description

Git filter process that converts between pointer and actual content

Implement the Git process filter API, exchanging handshake messages and then accepting and responding to requests to either clean or smudge a file.

filter-process is always run by Git’s filter process, and is configured by the repository’s Git attributes.

In your Git configuration or in a .lfsconfig file, you may set either or both of lfs.fetchinclude and lfs.fetchexclude to comma-separated lists of paths. If lfs.fetchinclude is defined, Git LFS pointer files will only be replaced with the contents of the corresponding object file if their path matches one in that list, and if lfs.fetchexclude is defined, pointer files will only be replaced if their path does not match one in that list. Paths are matched using wildcard matching as per gitignore(5). Pointer files that are not replaced are simply copied to standard output without change.

The filter process uses Git’s pkt-line protocol to communicate, and is documented in detail in gitattributes(5).
