NAME

git - write-blob - Creates a blob from a file

SYNOPSIS

git-write-blob <any-file-on-the-filesystem>

DESCRIPTION

Writes the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the work tree) as a blob into the object database, and reports its object ID to its standard output. This is used by "git-merge-one-file-script" to update the cache without modifying files in the work tree.
