git-var(1) ========== NAME ---- git-var - Show a Git logical variable SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] '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'. ifdef::git-default-editor[] The build you are using chose '{git-default-editor}' as the default. endif::git-default-editor[] 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'). ifdef::git-default-pager[] The build you are using chose '{git-default-pager}' as the default. endif::git-default-pager[] SEE ALSO -------- linkgit:git-commit-tree[1] linkgit:git-tag[1] linkgit:git-config[1] GIT --- Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
