User commands 3 optionsgit-man 1:2.47.3-0+deb13u1

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

Options

--stdin

Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided on the command-line.

--mailmap-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

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.

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.

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.
