| NAME |
| ---- |

| |
| |
| SYNOPSIS |
| -------- |
| [verse] |
| 'git var' (-l | <variable>) |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| ----------- |
| Prints a Git logical variable. Exits with code 1 if the variable has |
| no value. |
| |
| 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`.) |
| |
| EXAMPLES |
| -------- |

| 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'. |
| ifdef::git-default-editor[] |
| The build you are using chose '{git-default-editor}' as the default. |
| endif::git-default-editor[] |
| |
| 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'). |
| ifdef::git-default-pager[] |
| The build you are using chose '{git-default-pager}' as the default. |
| endif::git-default-pager[] |
| |
| GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH:: |
| The name of the first branch created in newly initialized repositories. |
