GIT-CHECK-ATTR(1)						    Git Manual							 GIT-CHECK-ATTR(1)

NAME

       git-check-attr - Display gitattributes information

SYNOPSIS

       git check-attr attr... [--] pathname...
       git check-attr --stdin [-z] attr... < <list-of-paths>

DESCRIPTION

       For every pathname, this command will list if each attribute is unspecified, set, or unset as a gitattribute on that pathname.

OPTIONS

       --stdin
	   Read file names from stdin instead of from the command-line.

       -z
	   Only meaningful with --stdin; paths are separated with a NUL character instead of a linefeed character.

       --
	   Interpret all preceding arguments as attributes and all following arguments as path names. If not supplied, only the first argument
	   will be treated as an attribute.

OUTPUT

       The output is of the form: <path> COLON SP <attribute> COLON SP <info> LF

       <path> is the path of a file being queried, <attribute> is an attribute being queried and <info> can be either:

       unspecified
	   when the attribute is not defined for the path.

       unset
	   when the attribute is defined as false.

       set
	   when the attribute is defined as true.

       <value>
	   when a value has been assigned to the attribute.

EXAMPLES

       In the examples, the following .gitattributes file is used:

	   .ft C
	   *.java diff=java -crlf myAttr
	   NoMyAttr.java !myAttr
	   README caveat=unspecified
	   .ft

       o   Listing a single attribute:

	   .ft C
	   $ git check-attr diff org/example/MyClass.java
	   org/example/MyClass.java: diff: java
	   .ft

       o   Listing multiple attributes for a file:

	   .ft C
	   $ git check-attr crlf diff myAttr -- org/example/MyClass.java
	   org/example/MyClass.java: crlf: unset
	   org/example/MyClass.java: diff: java
	   org/example/MyClass.java: myAttr: set
	   .ft

       o   Listing an attribute for multiple files:

	   .ft C
	   $ git check-attr myAttr -- org/example/MyClass.java org/example/NoMyAttr.java
	   org/example/MyClass.java: myAttr: set
	   org/example/NoMyAttr.java: myAttr: unspecified
	   .ft

       o   Not all values are equally unambiguous:

	   .ft C
	   $ git check-attr caveat README
	   README: caveat: unspecified
	   .ft

NAME

       git-lost-found - Recover lost refs that luckily have not yet been pruned

SYNOPSIS

       git lost-found

DESCRIPTION

       NOTE: this command is deprecated. Use git-fsck(1) with the option --lost-found instead.

       Finds dangling commits and tags from the object database, and creates refs to them in the .git/lost-found/ directory. Commits and tags that
       dereference to commits are stored in .git/lost-found/commit, and other objects are stored in .git/lost-found/other.

OUTPUT

       Prints to standard output the object names and one-line descriptions of any commits or tags found.

EXAMPLE

       Suppose you run git tag -f and mistype the tag to overwrite. The ref to your tag is overwritten, but until you run git prune, the tag
       itself is still there.

	   .ft C
	   $ git lost-found
	   [1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6] GIT 0.99.9c
	   ...
	   .ft

       Also you can use gitk to browse how any tags found relate to each other.

	   .ft C
	   $ gitk $(cd .git/lost-found/commit && echo ??*)
	   .ft

       After making sure you know which the object is the tag you are looking for, you can reconnect it to your regular .git/refs hierarchy.

	   .ft C
	   $ git cat-file -t 1ef2b196
	   tag
	   $ git cat-file tag 1ef2b196
	   object fa41bbce8e38c67a218415de6cfa510c7e50032a
	   type commit
	   tag v0.99.9c
	   tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 1131059594 -0800

	   GIT 0.99.9c

	   This contains the following changes from the "master" branch, since
	   ...
	   $ git update-ref refs/tags/not-lost-anymore 1ef2b196
	   $ git rev-parse not-lost-anymore
	   1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6
	   .ft
