git-check-attr − Display gitattributes information
git
check−attr attr... [−−] pathname...
git check−attr −−stdin [−z]
attr... < <list−of−paths>
For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is unspecified, set, or unset as a gitattribute on that pathname.
−−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.
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.
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
