=================

NAME
 | 
						|
----
 | 
						|
git-stripspace - Remove unnecessary whitespace
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
--------
 | 
						|
[verse]
 | 
						|
'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 linkgit:git-apply[1] for correcting whitespace of patches or files in
 | 
						|
the repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
OPTIONS
 | 
						|
-------
 | 
						|
-s::
 | 
						|
--strip-comments::
 | 
						|
	Skip and remove all lines starting with comment character (default '#').
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-c::
 | 
						|
--comment-lines::
 | 
						|
	Prepend comment character and blank 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:
