binaryfiles - Can I use a git smudge/clean filter to convert binary file to multiple files and back? -
i have binary file can deserialized text representation along supporting image files.
can use smudge , clean conversion 1 file many, , again?
eg:
the binary file:
- demo.bin
would deserialize to:
- demo.txt (important able diffs on file)
- demo.picture1.bmp
- demo.picture2.gif
the short answer "no". longer answer more complicated: sure, can write such files work-tree want. cannot make them wind in index, though, definition untracked files. try overwrite existing index files fraught peril.
(both old style filter-driver , new-style filter-as-process expected / assumed (by git) work on 1 specified path @ time. using process method, perhaps delay touching index until filter terminated, before git assumes done whatever doing—whether requires smudging or cleaning.)
