GIT-VAR(1)                        Git Manual                        GIT-VAR(1)
NAME
       git-var - Show a Git logical variable
SYNOPSIS
       git var (-l | <variable>)
DESCRIPTION
       Prints a Git logical variable. Exits with code 1 if the variable has no
       value.
OPTIONS
       -l
           Display the logical variables. 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.)
EXAMPLES
           $ 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 the default chosen at compile time, which is
           usually vi.
       GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR
           Text editor used to edit the todo file while running git rebase -i.
           Like GIT_EDITOR, the value is meant to be interpreted by the shell
           when it is used. The order of preference is the
           $GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR environment variable, then sequence.editor
           configuration, and then the value of git var GIT_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).
       GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH
           The name of the first branch created in newly initialized
           repositories.
       GIT_SHELL_PATH
           The path of the binary providing the POSIX shell for commands which
           use the shell.
       GIT_ATTR_SYSTEM
           The path to the system gitattributes(5) file, if one is enabled.
       GIT_ATTR_GLOBAL
           The path to the global (per-user) gitattributes(5) file.
       GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM
           The path to the system configuration file, if one is enabled.
       GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL
           The path to the global (per-user) configuration files, if any.
       Most path values contain only one value. However, some can contain
       multiple values, which are separated by newlines, and are listed in
       order from highest to lowest priority. Callers should be prepared for
       any such path value to contain multiple items.
       Note that paths are printed even if they do not exist, but not if they
       are disabled by other environment variables.
