cat
---
The ``cat`` command returns data about various objects in the repository, which
are stored in JSON form. Specifying ``--json`` or ``--quiet`` will suppress any
non-JSON messages the command generates.
The ``cat`` command is used to inspect and print internal repository objects to stdout.
This is primarily useful for debugging, understanding repository structure, or
recovering data from a damaged repository. For details refer to the :ref:`view-repository-objects` section.
