| .SH "NAME" |
| git-check-mailmap \- Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts |
| .SH "SYNOPSIS" |
| .sp |
| .nf |
| \fIgit check\-mailmap\fR [<options>] <contact>\&...\: |
| .fi |
| .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| .sp |
| 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\&. |
| .SH "OPTIONS" |
| .PP |
| \-\-stdin |
| .RS 4 |
| Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided on the command\-line\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-mailmap\-file=<file> |
| .RS 4 |
| 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\&. |
| .RE |
| .PP |
| \-\-mailmap\-blob=<blob> |
| .RS 4 |
| Like |
| \fB\-\-mailmap\-file\fR, but consider the value as a reference to a blob in the repository\&. If both |
| \fB\-\-mailmap\-file\fR |
| and |
| \fB\-\-mailmap\-blob\fR |
| are specified, entries in |
| \fB\-\-mailmap\-file\fR |
| will take precedence\&. |
| .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 "CONFIGURATION" |
| .sp |
| See \fBmailmap\&.file\fR and \fBmailmap\&.blob\fR in \fBgit-config\fR(1) for how to specify a custom \&.\fBmailmap\fR target file or object\&. |
| .SH "MAPPING AUTHORS" |
| .sp |
