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 does not handle files in the working tree larger than 4 gigabytes.
