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


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git check-mailmap' [<options>] <contact>...


DESCRIPTION
-----------

For each ``Name $$<user@host>$$'' 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.


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 linkgit:git-config[1] for how
to specify a custom `.mailmap` target file or object.
