Method: Git::Object::AbstractObject#contents

Defined in:
lib/git/object.rb

#contents(&block)

Get the object's contents. If no block is given, the contents are cached in memory and returned as a string. If a block is given, it yields an IO object (via IO::popen) which could be used to read a large file in chunks.

Use this for large files so that they are not held in memory.
