NAME¶
git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespaceSYNOPSIS¶
git stripspace [-s | --strip-comments] git stripspace [-c | --comment-lines]
DESCRIPTION¶
Read text, such as commit messages, notes, tags and branch descriptions, from the standard input and clean it in the manner used by Git. With no arguments, this will:•remove trailing whitespace from all lines
•collapse multiple consecutive empty lines into
one empty line
•remove empty lines from the beginning and end of
the input
•add a missing \n to the last line if
necessary.
In the case where the input consists entirely of whitespace characters, no
output will be produced.
NOTE: This is intended for cleaning metadata, prefer the
--whitespace=fix mode of git-apply(1) for correcting whitespace
of patches or files in the repository.
OPTIONS¶
-s, --strip-commentsSkip and remove all lines starting with comment character
(default #).
-c, --comment-lines
Prepend comment character and blank to each line. Lines
will automatically be terminated with a newline. On empty lines, only the
comment character will be prepended.
EXAMPLES¶
Given the following noisy input with $ indicating the end of a line:|A brief introduction $ | $ |$ |A new paragraph$ |# with a commented-out line $ |explaining lots of stuff.$ |$ |# An old paragraph, also commented-out. $ | $ |The end.$ | $
|A brief introduction$ |$ |A new paragraph$ |# with a commented-out line$ |explaining lots of stuff.$ |$ |# An old paragraph, also commented-out.$ |$ |The end.$
