31 git-check-mailmap \- Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts
35 \fIgit check\-mailmap\fR [<options>] <contact>\&...\:
39 For each \(lqName <user@host>\(rq, \(lq<user@host>\(rq, or \(lquser@host\(rq from the command\-line or standard input (when using \fB\-\-stdin\fR), look up the person\(cqs canonical name and email address (see "Mapping Authors" below)\&. If found, print them; otherwise print the input as\-is\&.
44 Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided on the command\-line\&.
47 \-\-mailmap\-file=<file>
49 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\&.
52 \-\-mailmap\-blob=<blob>
55 \fB\-\-mailmap\-file\fR, but consider the value as a reference to a blob in the repository\&. If both
56 \fB\-\-mailmap\-file\fR
58 \fB\-\-mailmap\-blob\fR
59 are specified, entries in
60 \fB\-\-mailmap\-file\fR
61 will take precedence\&.
65 For each contact, a single line is output, terminated by a newline\&. If the name is provided or known to the \fImailmap\fR, \(lqName <user@host>\(rq is printed; otherwise only \(lq<user@host>\(rq is printed\&.
68 See \fBmailmap\&.file\fR and \fBmailmap\&.blob\fR in \fBgit-config\fR(1) for how to specify a custom \fB\&.mailmap\fR target file or object\&.
71 See \fBgitmailmap\fR(5)\&.
