GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)						    Git Manual							GIT-HASH-OBJECT(1)

NAME

       git-hash-object - Compute object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file

SYNOPSIS

       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] [--path=<file>|--no-filters] [--stdin] [--] <file>...
       git hash-object [-t <type>] [-w] --stdin-paths [--no-filters] < <list-of-paths>

DESCRIPTION

       Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the work tree),
       and optionally writes the resulting object into the object database. Reports its object ID to its standard output. This is used by git
       cvsimport to update the index without modifying files in the work tree. When <type> is not specified, it defaults to "blob".

OPTIONS

       -t <type>
	   Specify the type (default: "blob").

       -w
	   Actually write the object into the object database.

       --stdin
	   Read the object from standard input instead of from a file.

       --stdin-paths
	   Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.

       --path
	   Hash object as it were located at the given path. The location of file does not directly influence on the hash value, but path is used
	   to determine what git filters should be applied to the object before it can be placed to the object database, and, as result of
	   applying filters, the actual blob put into the object database may differ from the given file. This option is mainly useful for hashing
	   temporary files located outside of the working directory or files read from stdin.

       --no-filters
	   Hash the contents as is, ignoring any input filter that would have been chosen by the attributes mechanism, including crlf conversion.
	   If the file is read from standard input then this is always implied, unless the --path option is given.

NAME

       git-lost-found - Recover lost refs that luckily have not yet been pruned

SYNOPSIS

       git lost-found

DESCRIPTION

       NOTE: this command is deprecated. Use git-fsck(1) with the option --lost-found instead.

       Finds dangling commits and tags from the object database, and creates refs to them in the .git/lost-found/ directory. Commits and tags that
       dereference to commits are stored in .git/lost-found/commit, and other objects are stored in .git/lost-found/other.

OUTPUT

       Prints to standard output the object names and one-line descriptions of any commits or tags found.

EXAMPLE

       Suppose you run git tag -f and mistype the tag to overwrite. The ref to your tag is overwritten, but until you run git prune, the tag
       itself is still there.

	   .ft C
	   $ git lost-found
	   [1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6] GIT 0.99.9c
	   ...
	   .ft

       Also you can use gitk to browse how any tags found relate to each other.

	   .ft C
	   $ gitk $(cd .git/lost-found/commit && echo ??*)
	   .ft

       After making sure you know which the object is the tag you are looking for, you can reconnect it to your regular .git/refs hierarchy.

	   .ft C
	   $ git cat-file -t 1ef2b196
	   tag
	   $ git cat-file tag 1ef2b196
	   object fa41bbce8e38c67a218415de6cfa510c7e50032a
	   type commit
	   tag v0.99.9c
	   tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 1131059594 -0800

	   GIT 0.99.9c

	   This contains the following changes from the "master" branch, since
	   ...
	   $ git update-ref refs/tags/not-lost-anymore 1ef2b196
	   $ git rev-parse not-lost-anymore
	   1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6
	   .ft
