git-stripspace

Name

git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespace

Synopsis

git stripspace [-s | --strip-comments]
+git stripspace [-c | --comment-lines]

Description

Read text, such as commit messages, notes, tags and branch descriptions, from the standard input and clean it in the manner used by Git.

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

-s
--strip-comments

Skip and remove all lines starting with a comment character (default #).

-c
--comment-lines

Prepend the comment character and a blank space to each line. Lines will automatically be terminated with a newline. On empty lines, only the comment character will be prepended.

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.$
