NAME
     git-var - Show a git logical variable

SYNOPSIS
     git var ( -l | <variable> )


DESCRIPTION
     Prints a git logical variable.

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.)

EXAMPLE
         $ git var GIT_AUTHOR_IDENT
         Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@lnxi.com> 1121223278 -0600

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 finally vi.

     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
         finally less.

DIAGNOSTICS
     You don't exist. Go away!
         The passwd(4) gecos field couldn't be read

     Your parents must have hated you!
         The passwd(4) gecos field is longer than a giant static
         buffer.
