git-check-mailmap(1) Git Manual git-check-mailmap(1)
NAME
git-check-mailmap - Show canonical names and email addresses of
contacts
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-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, "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.
