This documentation is meant for people who are studying the plumbing scripts and/or are writing new ones.</p>   <p><code>git sh-i18n--envsubst</code> is Git’s stripped-down copy of the GNU <code>envsubst(1)</code> program that comes with the GNU gettext package. It’s used internally by <a href="git-sh-i18n">git-sh-i18n[1]</a> to interpolate the variables passed to the <code>eval_gettext</code> function.</p>   <p>No promises are made about the interface, or that this program won’t disappear without warning in the next version of Git. Don’t use it.</p>  </div><div class="_attribution">
