git-check-attr: Check the value of a specific attribute on one or more files.
$ git check-attr ${attribute} ${filename1} ${filename2}
try on your machine

The command git check-attr ${attribute} ${filename1} ${filename2} is used to check the value of a specific Git attribute for one or multiple files in a Git repository.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • git check-attr: This is the command itself, used to check Git attributes.
  • ${attribute}: The attribute parameter represents the name of the attribute to be checked. Attributes are custom properties or characteristics associated with files in a Git repository.
  • ${filename1} ${filename2}: These are the names of the files for which you want to check the specified Git attribute.

By running this command, Git will display the value of the specified attribute for each provided file. The output might vary depending on the attribute type and its configuration.
