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

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

SYNOPSIS
       git-cat-file [-t | -s | -e | -p | <type>] <object>

DESCRIPTION
       Provides content or type of objects 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.

OPTIONS
       <object>
	      The name of the object to show. For a more complete list of ways
	      to spell object names, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in
	      git-rev-parse(1).

       -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.

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.

       Otherwise the raw (though uncompressed) contents of the <object> will
       be returned.
