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.)

EXAMPLES
	   $ 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 the default chosen at compile time, which is
	   usually 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 the default chosen at compile time (usually
	   less).

       GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH
	   The name of the first branch created in newly initialized
	   repositories.
