GIT-VAR(1) Git Manual GIT-VAR(1)

NAME
       git-var - Show a Git logical variable

SYNOPSIS
       git var ( -l |  )


DESCRIPTION
       Prints a Git logical variable.

OPTIONS
       -l
           Cause the logical variables to be listed. In addition, all the
           variables of the Git configuration file .git/config are listed as
           well. (However, the configuration variables listing functionality
           is deprecated in favor of git config -l.)

EXAMPLE
           $ git var GITAUTHORIDENT
           Eric W. Biederman  1121223278 -0600

VARIABLES
       GITAUTHORIDENT
           The author of a piece of code.

       GITCOMMITTERIDENT
           The person who put a piece of code into Git.

       GITEDITOR
           Text editor for use by Git commands. The value is meant to be
           interpreted by the shell when it is used. Examples: ~/bin/vi,
           $SOMEENVIRONMENTVARIABLE, "C:\Program Files\Vim\gvim.exe"
           nofork. The order of preference is the $GITEDITOR environment
           variable, then core.editor configuration, then $VISUAL, then
           $EDITOR, and then the default chosen at compile time, which is
           usually vi.

       GITPAGER
           Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., less). The value is
           meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference is
           the $GITPAGER environment variable, then core.pager configuration,
           then $PAGER, and then the default chosen at compile time (usually
           less).
