git-var(1)

NAME

   git-var - Show a Git logical variable

SYNOPSIS

   git var ( -l | <variable> )

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 GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
       Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@lnxi.com> 1121223278 -0600

VARIABLES

   GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
       The author of a piece of code.

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

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

   GIT_PAGER
       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 $GIT_PAGER environment variable, then core.pager configuration,
       then $PAGER, and then the default chosen at compile time (usually
       less).
