git−lfs−pointer − Build, compare, and check pointers
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
Builds and optionally compares generated pointer files to ensure consistency between different Git LFS implementations.
−−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.
−−strict, −−no−strict
In conjunction with −−check, −−strict verifies 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.
Part of the git−lfs(1) suite.
