git-lfs-pointer - Man Page
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 --stdin is given) or the filepath (if --file) is given. 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. Exits 1 otherwise.
