SYNOPSIS
git check-mailmap [<options>] <contact>…
DESCRIPTION
For each “Name <user@host>”, “<user@host>”, or “user@host”
from the command-line or standard input (when using --stdin), look up the
person’s canonical name and email address (see "Mapping Authors" below). If
found, print them; otherwise print the input as-is.
OPTIONS
- --stdin
-
Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided on the command-line.
- --mailmap-file=<file>
-
In addition to any configured mailmap files, read the specified mailmap file. Entries in this file take precedence over entries in either the default mailmap file or any configured mailmap file.
- --mailmap-blob=<blob>
-
Like
--mailmap-file, but consider the value as a reference to a blob in the repository. If both--mailmap-fileand--mailmap-blobare specified, entries in--mailmap-filewill take precedence.
OUTPUT
For each contact, a single line is output, terminated by a newline. If the name is provided or known to the mailmap, “Name <user@host>” is printed; otherwise only “<user@host>” is printed.
CONFIGURATION
See mailmap.file and mailmap.blob in git-config(1) for how
to specify a custom .mailmap target file or object.
