| .SH "NAME" |
| git-check-mailmap \- Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| \fIgit check\-mailmap\fR [<options>] <contact>\&... |
| .fi |
| .sp |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| For each \(lqName <user@host>\(rq or \(lq<user@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\&. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .PP |
| \-\-stdin |
| .RS 4 |
| Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided on the command\-line\&. |
| .RE |
| .SH "OUTPUT" |
| .sp |
| 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\&. |
| .SH "MAPPING AUTHORS" |
| .sp |
| If the file \fB\&.mailmap\fR exists at the toplevel of the repository, or at the location pointed to by the mailmap\&.file or mailmap\&.blob configuration options, it is used to map author and committer names and email addresses to canonical real names and email addresses\&. |
| .sp |
| In the simple form, each line in the file consists of the canonical real name of an author, whitespace, and an email address used in the commit (enclosed by \fI<\fR and \fI>\fR) to map to the name\&. For example: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| Proper Name <commit@email\&.xx> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| The more complex forms are: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| <proper@email\&.xx> <commit@email\&.xx> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| which allows mailmap to replace only the email part of a commit, and: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| Proper Name <proper@email\&.xx> <commit@email\&.xx> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a commit matching the specified commit email address, and: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| Proper Name <proper@email\&.xx> Commit Name <commit@email\&.xx> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| which allows mailmap to replace both the name and the email of a commit matching both the specified commit name and email address\&. |
| .sp |
| Example 1: Your history contains commits by two authors, Jane and Joe, whose names appear in the repository under several forms: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| Joe Developer <joe@example\&.com> |
| Joe R\&. Developer <joe@example\&.com> |
| Jane Doe <jane@example\&.com> |
| Jane Doe <jane@laptop\&.(none)> |
| Jane D\&. <jane@desktop\&.(none)> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| .sp |
| Now suppose that Joe wants his middle name initial used, and Jane prefers her family name fully spelled out\&. A proper \fB\&.mailmap\fR file would look like: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| Jane Doe <jane@desktop\&.(none)> |
| Joe R\&. Developer <joe@example\&.com> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| .sp |
| Note how there is no need for an entry for \fB<jane@laptop\&.(none)>\fR, because the real name of that author is already correct\&. |
| .sp |
| Example 2: Your repository contains commits from the following authors: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| nick1 <bugs@company\&.xx> |
| nick2 <bugs@company\&.xx> |
| nick2 <nick2@company\&.xx> |
| santa <me@company\&.xx> |
| claus <me@company\&.xx> |
| CTO <cto@coompany\&.xx> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| .sp |
| Then you might want a \fB\&.mailmap\fR file that looks like: |
| .sp |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RS 4 |
| .\} |
| .nf |
| <cto@company\&.xx> <cto@coompany\&.xx> |
| Some Dude <some@dude\&.xx> nick1 <bugs@company\&.xx> |
| Other Author <other@author\&.xx> nick2 <bugs@company\&.xx> |
| Other Author <other@author\&.xx> <nick2@company\&.xx> |
| Santa Claus <santa\&.claus@northpole\&.xx> <me@company\&.xx> |
| .fi |
| .if n \{\ |
| .RE |
| .\} |
| .sp |
| .sp |
| Use hash \fI#\fR for comments that are either on their own line, or after the email address\&. |
