NAME

       git-check-mailmap - Show canonical names and email addresses of
       contacts

SYNOPSIS

       git check-mailmap [<options>] <contact>...

DESCRIPTION

       For each “Name <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.

OPTIONS

       --stdin
           Read contacts, one per line, from the standard input after
           exhausting contacts provided on the command-line.

OUTPUT

       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.

CONFIGURATION

       See mailmap.file and mailmap.blob in git-config(1) for how to
       specify a custom .mailmap target file or object.
