This also bumps the stable nixpkgs to 20.09 as of 2020-11-21, because there is some breakage in the git build related to the netrc credentials helper which someone has taken care of in nixpkgs. The stable channel is not used for anything other than git, so this should be fine. Change-Id: I3575a19dab09e1e9556cf8231d717de9890484fb

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-check-attr - Display gitattributes information
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git check-attr' [-a | --all | <attr>...] [--] <pathname>...
|
|
'git check-attr' --stdin [-z] [-a | --all | <attr>...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is 'unspecified',
|
|
'set', or 'unset' as a gitattribute on that pathname.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
-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 pathnames from the standard input, one per line,
|
|
instead of from the command-line.
|
|
|
|
-z::
|
|
The output format is modified to be machine-parsable.
|
|
If `--stdin` is also given, input 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.
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
The output is of the form:
|
|
<path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info> LF
|
|
|
|
unless `-z` is in effect, in which case NUL is used as delimiter:
|
|
<path> NUL <attribute> NUL <info> NUL
|
|
|
|
|
|
<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.
|
|
|
|
Buffering happens as documented under the `GIT_FLUSH` option in
|
|
linkgit:git[1]. The caller is responsible for avoiding deadlocks
|
|
caused by overfilling an input buffer or reading from an empty output
|
|
buffer.

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 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
