git-check-mailmap − Show canonical names and email addresses of contacts
git check−mailmap [<options>] <contact>...
For each “Name <user@host>”, “<user@host>”, or “user@host” from the command−line or standard input (when using −−stdin), look up the person’s canonical name and email address (see "Mapping Authors" below). If found, print them; otherwise print the input as−is.
−−stdin
Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after exhausting contacts provided on the command−line.
−−mailmap−file=<file>
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.
−−mailmap−blob=<blob>
Like −−mailmap−file, but consider the value as a reference to a blob in the repository. If both −−mailmap−file and −−mailmap−blob are specified, entries in −−mailmap−file will take precedence.
For each contact, a single line is output, terminated by a newline. If the name is provided or known to the mailmap, “Name <user@host>” is printed; otherwise only “<user@host>” is printed.
See mailmap.file and mailmap.blob in git-config(1) for how to specify a custom .mailmap target file or object.
See gitmailmap(5).
