- 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.
Part of the git-lfs(1) suite.
