git-check-attr(1)


NAME

   git-check-attr - Display gitattributes information

SYNOPSIS

   git check-attr [-a | --all | attr...] [--] pathname...
   git check-attr --stdin [-z] [-a | --all | attr...]

DESCRIPTION

   For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is
   unspecified, set, or unset as a gitattribute on that pathname.

OPTIONS

   -a, --all
       List 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 pathnames from the standard input, one per line, 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:

   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.

   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
