LEI-BLOB(1) public-inbox user manual LEI-BLOB(1) NAME lei-blob - display a git blob, reconstructing from mail if necessary SYNOPSIS lei blob [OPTIONS] OID DESCRIPTION Display a git blob. The blob may correspond to a message from the local store, any local external, or blobs associated with a project git repository (if run from a git (working) directory). For blobs which do not exist, it will attempt to recreate the blob using patch emails. OPTIONS --git-dir=DIR Specify an additional .git/ directory to scan. This option may be given multiple times. Default: the output of "git rev-parse --git-dir" --no-cwd Do not look in the git repository of the current working directory. --no-mail Do not look in mail storage for "OID". This is implied by "--oid-a", "--path-a", and "--path-b". -A OID-A --oid-a=OID-A Provide pre-image object ID as a hint for reconstructing "OID". -a PATH-A --path-a=PATH-A Provide pre-image pathname as a hint for reconstructing "OID". -b PATH-B --path-b=PATH-B Provide post-image pathname as a hint for reconstructing "OID". -v --verbose Provide more feedback on stderr. The following options are also supported and are described in lei-q(1). --remote Remote externals only get queried when the blob needs to be reconstructed from patch emails. --no-local --no-external -I LOCATION, --include=LOCATION --exclude=LOCATION --only=LOCATION --no-import-remote --torsocks=auto|no|yes --no-torsocks --proxy=PROTO://HOST[:PORT] CONTACT Feedback welcome via plain-text mail to The mail archives are hosted at and COPYRIGHT Copyright 2021 all contributors License: AGPL-3.0+ SEE ALSO lei-add-external(1), lei-q(1) public-inbox.git 1993-10-02 LEI-BLOB(1)
