git-check-attr: Check the values of all attributes on a file.
$ git check-attr --all ${filename}
try on your machine
The command "git check-attr --all ${filename}" is used to display the Git attributes associated with a specific file.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "git check-attr" is the command itself, used to check the attributes of a file.
- "--all" is an option that tells Git to display all the attributes for the specified file. Without this option, only the relevant attributes will be shown.
- "${filename}" is a placeholder for the name of the file whose attributes you want to check. You should replace it with the actual filename you want to inspect.
When you run this command, Git will analyze the file and output information about its attributes, including any specific attributes defined in the repository's .gitattributes file, as well as any default attributes that might be applied. The output will typically include attribute names, their values, and the paths or patterns to which they apply.
