git-stripspace(1)


NAME

   git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespace

SYNOPSIS

   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-comments
       Skip 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.$
       |  $

   Use git stripspace with no arguments to obtain:

       |A brief introduction$
       |$
       |A new paragraph$
       |# with a commented-out line$
       |explaining lots of stuff.$
       |$
       |# An old paragraph, also commented-out.$
       |$
       |The end.$

   Use git stripspace --strip-comments to obtain:

       |A brief introduction$
       |$
       |A new paragraph$
       |explaining lots of stuff.$
       |$
       |The end.$
