git-lfs-pointer

Name

git-lfs-pointer — Build, compare, and check pointers

Synopsis

git-lfs-pointer [OPTIONS]

Description

Build, compare, and check pointers

Build and optionally compare generated pointer files to ensure consistency between different Git LFS implementations.

Options

Flags

• -f, --file <FILE> A local file to build the pointer from

• -p, --pointer <POINTER> A local file containing a pointer generated from another implementation.

  Compared to the pointer generated from --file.

• --stdin Read the pointer from standard input to compare with the pointer generated from --file

• --check Read the pointer from standard input (with --stdin) or the filepath (with --file).

  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, 1 otherwise. With --strict, exits 2 if the pointer is not byte-canonical.

• --strict With --check, verify that the pointer is canonical (the one Git LFS would create).

  If it isn’t, exits 2. The default — for backwards compatibility — is --no-strict.

• --no-strict Disable strict mode (paired with --strict)

• --no-extensions Build a plain pointer without running configured lfs.extension.* clean commands. Default behavior is to chain through any extensions (and emit a warning: line on stderr); pass this to suppress both the chain and the warning

Reporting bugs

This command is from the Rust implementation of git-lfs, not the original Go implementation. Please report bugs to our issue tracker.
