GIT-LFS-SMUDGE(1)

NAME
git-lfs-smudge - Git smudge filter that converts pointer in blobs to the actual content

SYNOPSIS
git lfs smudge [path] git lfs smudge --skip [path]

DESCRIPTION
Read a Git LFS pointer file from standard input and write the contents of the corresponding large file to standard output. If needed, download the file's contents from the Git LFS endpoint. The path argument, if provided, is only used for a progress bar.

Smudge is typically run by Git's smudge filter, configured by the repository's Git attributes.

OPTIONS
Without any options, git lfs smudge outputs the raw Git LFS content to standard output.

--skip
    Skip automatic downloading of objects on clone or pull.

GIT_LFS_SKIP_SMUDGE
    Disables the smudging process. For more, see: git-lfs-config(5).

KNOWN BUGS
On Windows, Git before 2.34.0 does not handle files in the working tree larger than 4 gigabytes. Newer versions of Git, as well as Unix versions, are unaffected.
