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

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


DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       --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.

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.
