GIT-STRIPSPACE(1)		  Git Manual		     GIT-STRIPSPACE(1)

NAME
       git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespace

SYNOPSIS
       git stripspace [-s | --strip-comments] < 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
       -s, --strip-comments
	   Skip and remove all lines starting with #.

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.$
