git-cat-file(1) |
|
=============== |
|
|
|
NAME |
|
---- |
|
git-cat-file - Provide content or type/size information for repository objects |
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS |
|
-------- |
|
'git-cat-file' [-t | -s | -e | -p | <type>] <object> |
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION |
|
----------- |
|
Provides content or type of objects in the repository. The type |
|
is required unless '-t' or '-p' is used to find the object type, |
|
or '-s' is used to find the object size. |
|
|
|
OPTIONS |
|
------- |
|
<object>:: |
|
The name of the object to show. |
|
For a more complete list of ways to spell object names, see |
|
"SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitlink:git-rev-parse[1]. |
|
|
|
-t:: |
|
Instead of the content, show the object type identified by |
|
<object>. |
|
|
|
-s:: |
|
Instead of the content, show the object size identified by |
|
<object>. |
|
|
|
-e:: |
|
Suppress all output; instead exit with zero status if <object> |
|
exists and is a valid object. |
|
|
|
-p:: |
|
Pretty-print the contents of <object> based on its type. |
|
|
|
<type>:: |
|
Typically this matches the real type of <object> but asking |
|
for a type that can trivially be dereferenced from the given |
|
<object> is also permitted. An example is to ask for a |
|
"tree" with <object> being a commit object that contains it, |
|
or to ask for a "blob" with <object> being a tag object that |
|
points at it. |
|
|
|
OUTPUT |
|
------ |
|
If '-t' is specified, one of the <type>. |
|
|
|
If '-s' is specified, the size of the <object> in bytes. |
|
|
|
If '-e' is specified, no output. |
|
|
|
If '-p' is specified, the contents of <object> are pretty-printed. |
|
|
|
Otherwise the raw (though uncompressed) contents of the <object> will |
|
be returned. |
