NAME

git-check-attr - Display gitattributes information

SYNOPSIS

 git check-attr attr... [--] pathname...
 git check-attr --stdin [-z] 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

--stdin

Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.

-z

Only meaningful with --stdin; 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 not supplied, only the first argument will be treated as an attribute.

OUTPUT

The output is of the form: <path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info> LF

<path> is the path of a file being queried, <attribute> is an attribute being queried and <info> can be either:

unspecified

when 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.

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 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
