NAME
git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespace
SYNOPSIS
git stripspace [-s | --strip-comments] < input git stripspace [-c | --comment-lines] < input
DESCRIPTION
Clean the input in the manner used by Git for text such as commit messages, notes, tags and branch descriptions.
With no arguments, this will:
-
remove trailing whitespace from all lines
-
collapse multiple consecutive empty lines into one empty line
-
remove empty lines from the beginning and end of the input
-
add a missing \n to the last line if necessary.
In the case where the input consists entirely of whitespace characters, no output will be produced.
NOTE: This is intended for cleaning metadata, prefer the --whitespace=fix
mode of git-apply[1] for correcting whitespace of patches or files in
the repository.
OPTIONS
EXAMPLES
Given the following noisy input with $ indicating the end of a line:
|A brief introduction $ | $ |$ |A new paragraph$ |# with a commented-out line $ |explaining lots of stuff.$ |$ |# An old paragraph, also commented-out. $ | $ |The end.$ | $
Use git stripspace with no arguments to obtain:
|A brief introduction$ |$ |A new paragraph$ |# with a commented-out line$ |explaining lots of stuff.$ |$ |# An old paragraph, also commented-out.$ |$ |The end.$
Use git stripspace --strip-comments to obtain:
|A brief introduction$ |$ |A new paragraph$ |explaining lots of stuff.$ |$ |The end.$
