GIT-CAT-FILE(1)                             Git Manual                            GIT-CAT-FILE(1)



NAME
       git-cat-file - Provide content or type and size information for repository objects

SYNOPSIS
       git cat-file (-t | -s | -e | -p | <type> | --textconv ) <object>
       git cat-file (--batch | --batch-check) < <list-of-objects>


DESCRIPTION
       In its first form, the command provides the content or the type of an object in the
       repository. The type is required unless -t or -p is used to find the object type, or -s is
       used to find the object size, or --textconv is used (which implies type "blob").

       In the second form, a list of objects (separated by linefeeds) is provided on stdin, and
       the SHA-1, type, and size of each object is printed on stdout.

OPTIONS
       <object>
           The name of the object to show. For a more complete list of ways to spell object
           names, see the "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in gitrevisions(7).

       -t
           Instead of the content, show the object type identified by <object>.

       -s
           Instead of the content, show the object size identified by <object>.

       -e
           Suppress all output; instead exit with zero status if <object> exists and is a valid
           object.

       -p
           Pretty-print the contents of <object> based on its type.

       <type>
           Typically this matches the real type of <object> but asking for a type that can
           trivially be dereferenced from the given <object> is also permitted. An example is to
           ask for a "tree" with <object> being a commit object that contains it, or to ask for a
           "blob" with <object> being a tag object that points at it.

       --textconv
           Show the content as transformed by a textconv filter. In this case, <object> has be of
           the form <treeish>:<path>, or :<path> in order to apply the filter to the content
           recorded in the index at <path>.

       --batch
           Print the SHA-1, type, size, and contents of each object provided on stdin. May not be
           combined with any other options or arguments.

       --batch-check
           Print the SHA-1, type, and size of each object provided on stdin. May not be combined
           with any other options or arguments.

OUTPUT
       If -t is specified, one of the <type>.

       If -s is specified, the size of the <object> in bytes.

       If -e is specified, no output.

       If -p is specified, the contents of <object> are pretty-printed.

       If <type> is specified, the raw (though uncompressed) contents of the <object> will be
       returned.

       If --batch is specified, output of the following form is printed for each object specified
       on stdin:

           <sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF
           <contents> LF


       If --batch-check is specified, output of the following form is printed for each object
       specified on stdin:

           <sha1> SP <type> SP <size> LF


       For both --batch and --batch-check, output of the following form is printed for each
       object specified on stdin that does not exist in the repository:

           <object> SP missing LF
