NAME

gi-chec-mailmap - Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts

SYNOPSIS

git check-mailmap [<options>] <contact>...:

DESCRIPTION

For each lqName <user@host>rq, lq<user@host>rq, or lquser@hostrq from the command-line or standard input (when using --stdin), look up the personcqs 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-file and --mailmap-blob are specified, entries in --mailmap-file will 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, lqName <user@host>rq is printed; otherwise only lq<user@host>rq is printed.

CONFIGURATION

See mailmap.file and mailmap.blob in gi-config(1) for how to specify a custom .mailmap target file or object.

MAPPING AUTHORS

See gitmailmap(5).
