SYNOPSIS
git var [variable]
DESCRIPTION
git var shows Git logical variables such as the configured editor, pager, and author/committer identity. These values are resolved from environment variables and Git configuration, following Git's own lookup order (e.g. `$GIT_EDITOR` falls back to `core.editor`, then `$VISUAL`, then `$EDITOR`).Other recognized variables include `GITSEQUENCEEDITOR` (editor for `git rebase -i`), `GITDEFAULTBRANCH`, `GITSHELLPATH`, `GITATTRSYSTEM`/`GITATTRGLOBAL`, and `GITCONFIGSYSTEM`/`GITCONFIGGLOBAL`.The command is useful in scripts that need to query Git's resolved settings without parsing config files directly.
PARAMETERS
-l
List all variables.
