git-check-attr(1)
=================
NAME
----
git-check-attr - Display gitattributes information
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git check-attr' attr... [--] pathname...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
For every pathname, this command will list if each attr is 'unspecified',
'set', or 'unset' as a gitattribute on that pathname.
OPTIONS
-------
\--::
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
Where <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 to false.
'set';; when the attribute is defined to 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 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
---------------
