git-check-mailmap – Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts

Synopsis

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

Description

For each “Name <user [at] host>” or “<user [at] 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.

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 [at] host>” is printed; otherwise only “<user [at] 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.
