NAME
git-check-attr - Display gitattributes informationSYNOPSIS
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, --allList 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.
OUTPUT
The output is of the form: <path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info> LFwhen 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.

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
