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 --stdinis given) or the filepath (if--file) is given. If neither or both of--stdinand--fileare 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,--strictverifies 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.
