+NAME
+----
+git-var - Show a Git logical variable
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'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'.
+ifdef::git-default-editor[]
+ The build you are using chose '{git-default-editor}' as the default.
+endif::git-default-editor[]
+
+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').
+ifdef::git-default-pager[]
+ The build you are using chose '{git-default-pager}' as the default.
+endif::git-default-pager[]
+
+GIT_DEFAULT_BRANCH::
+ The name of the first branch created in newly initialized repositories.
