GIT-VAR(1)                                                          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

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 finally 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 finally less.
