NAME¶
git-check-attr - Display gitattributes informationSYNOPSIS¶
git check-attr [-a | --all | attr...] [--] pathname... git check-attr --stdin [-z] [-a | --all | attr...] < <list-of-paths>
DESCRIPTION¶
For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is unspecified, set, or unset as a gitattribute on that pathname.OPTIONS¶
-a, --allList all attributes that are associated with the
specified paths. If this option is used, then unspecified attributes
will not be included in the output.
--cached
Consider .gitattributes in the index only, ignoring the
working tree.
--stdin
Read file names from stdin instead of from the
command-line.
-z
The output format is modified to be machine-parseable. If
--stdin is also given, input paths are separated with a NUL character instead
of a linefeed character.
--
Interpret all preceding arguments as attributes and all
following arguments as path names.
If none of --stdin, --all, or -- is used, the first argument will be treated as
an attribute and the rest of the arguments as pathnames.
OUTPUT¶
The output is of the form: <path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info> LF unless -z is in effect, in which case NUL is used as delimiter: <path> NUL <attribute> NUL <info> NUL <path> is the path of a file being queried, <attribute> is an attribute being queried and <info> can be either: unspecifiedwhen the attribute is not defined for the path.
unset
when the attribute is defined as false.
set
when the attribute is defined as true.
<value>
when a value has been assigned to the attribute.
Buffering happens as documented under the GIT_FLUSH option in git(1). The
caller is responsible for avoiding deadlocks caused by overfilling an input
buffer or reading from an empty output buffer.
EXAMPLES¶
In the examples, the following .gitattributes file is used:*.java diff=java -crlf myAttr NoMyAttr.java !myAttr README caveat=unspecified
•Listing a single attribute:
$ git check-attr diff org/example/MyClass.java org/example/MyClass.java: diff: java
•Listing multiple attributes for a file:
$ git check-attr crlf diff myAttr -- org/example/MyClass.java org/example/MyClass.java: crlf: unset org/example/MyClass.java: diff: java org/example/MyClass.java: myAttr: set
•Listing all attributes for a file:
$ git check-attr --all -- org/example/MyClass.java org/example/MyClass.java: diff: java org/example/MyClass.java: myAttr: set
•Listing an attribute for multiple files:
$ git check-attr myAttr -- org/example/MyClass.java org/example/NoMyAttr.java org/example/MyClass.java: myAttr: set org/example/NoMyAttr.java: myAttr: unspecified
•Not all values are equally unambiguous:
$ git check-attr caveat README README: caveat: unspecified
