git-check-attr − Display gitattributes information
git
check−attr [−a | −−all |
attr...] [−−] pathname...
git check−attr −−stdin [−z]
[−a | −−all | 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.
−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 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 none of −−stdin, −−all, or −− is used, the first argument will be treated as an attribute and the rest of the arguments as pathnames.
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 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
