   6 git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file

   9 SYNOPSIS
  10 --------
  11 [verse]
  12 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin] [--] <file>...
  13 'git hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths < <list-of-paths>
  14
  15 DESCRIPTION
  16 -----------
  17 Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
  18 with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
  19 work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
  20 object database.  Reports its object ID to its standard output.
  21 This is used by 'git cvsimport' to update the index
  22 without modifying files in the work tree.  When <type> is not
  23 specified, it defaults to "blob".
  24
  25 OPTIONS
  26 -------
  27
  28 -t <type>::
  29         Specify the type (default: "blob").
  30
  31 -w::
  32         Actually write the object into the object database.
  33
  34 --stdin::
  35         Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.
  36
  37 --stdin-paths::
  38         Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.
  39
  40 --path::
  41         Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of
  42         file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is
  43         used to determine what git filters should be applied to the object
  44         before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
  45         applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may
  46         differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing
  47         temporary files located outside of the working directory or files
  48         read from stdin.
  49
  50 --no-filters::
  51         Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would
  52         have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including crlf
  53         conversion. If the file is read from standard input then this
  54         is always implied, unless the --path option is given.
