color.advice::
A boolean to enable/disable color in hints (e.g. when a push
failed, see `advice.*` for a list). May be set to `always`,
`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors
are used only when the error output goes to a terminal. If
unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.advice.hint::
Use customized color for hints.
color.blame.highlightRecent::
Specify the line annotation color for `git blame --color-by-age`
depending upon the age of the line.
+
This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and
date settings, starting and ending with a color, the dates should be
set from oldest to newest. The metadata will be colored with the
specified colors if the line was introduced before the given
timestamp, overwriting older timestamped colors.
+
Instead of an absolute timestamp relative timestamps work as well,
e.g. `2.weeks.ago` is valid to address anything older than 2 weeks.
+
It defaults to `blue,12 month ago,white,1 month ago,red`, which
colors everything older than one year blue, recent changes between
one month and one year old are kept white, and lines introduced
within the last month are colored red.
color.blame.repeatedLines::
Use the specified color to colorize line annotations for
`git blame --color-lines`, if they come from the same commit as the
preceding line. Defaults to cyan.
color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
linkgit:git-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.branch.<slot>::
Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of
`current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch),
`remote` (a remote-tracking branch in refs/remotes/),
`upstream` (upstream tracking branch), `plain` (other
refs).
color.diff::
Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
If this is set to `always`, linkgit:git-diff[1],
linkgit:git-log[1], and linkgit:git-show[1] will use color
for all patches. If it is set to `true` or `auto`, those
commands will only use color when output is to the terminal.
If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by
default).
+
This does not affect linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or the
'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands. Can be overridden on the
command line with the `--color[=<when>]` option.
color.diff.<slot>::
Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>` specifies
which part of the patch to use the specified color, and is one
of `context` (context text - `plain` is a historical synonym),
`meta` (metainformation), `frag`
(hunk header), 'func' (function in hunk header), `old` (removed lines),
`new` (added lines), `commit` (commit headers), `whitespace`
(highlighting whitespace errors), `oldMoved` (deleted lines),
`newMoved` (added lines), `oldMovedDimmed`, `oldMovedAlternative`,
`oldMovedAlternativeDimmed`, `newMovedDimmed`, `newMovedAlternative`
`newMovedAlternativeDimmed` (See the '<mode>'
setting of '--color-moved' in linkgit:git-diff[1] for details),
`contextDimmed`, `oldDimmed`, `newDimmed`, `contextBold`,
`oldBold`, and `newBold` (see linkgit:git-range-diff[1] for details).
color.decorate.<slot>::
Use customized color for 'git log --decorate' output. `<slot>` is one
of `branch`, `remoteBranch`, `tag`, `stash` or `HEAD` for local
branches, remote-tracking branches, tags, stash and HEAD, respectively
and `grafted` for grafted commits.
color.grep::
When set to `always`, always highlight matches. When `false` (or
`never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only
when the output is written to the terminal. If unset, then the
value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.grep.<slot>::
Use customized color for grep colorization. `<slot>` specifies which
part of the line to use the specified color, and is one of
+
--
`context`;;
non-matching text in context lines (when using `-A`, `-B`, or `-C`)
`filename`;;
filename prefix (when not using `-h`)
`function`;;
function name lines (when using `-p`)
`lineNumber`;;
line number prefix (when using `-n`)
`column`;;
column number prefix (when using `--column`)
`match`;;
matching text (same as setting `matchContext` and `matchSelected`)
`matchContext`;;
matching text in context lines
`matchSelected`;;
matching text in selected lines. Also, used to customize the following
linkgit:git-log[1] subcommands: `--grep`, `--author`, and `--committer`.
`selected`;;
non-matching text in selected lines. Also, used to customize the
following linkgit:git-log[1] subcommands: `--grep`, `--author` and
`--committer`.
`separator`;;
separators between fields on a line (`:`, `-`, and `=`)
and between hunks (`--`)
--
color.interactive::
When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts
and displays (such as those used by "git-add --interactive" and
"git-clean --interactive"). When false (or `never`), never.
When set to `true` or `auto`, use colors only when the output is
to the terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is
used (`auto` by default).
color.interactive.<slot>::
Use customized color for 'git add --interactive' and 'git clean
--interactive' output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help`
or `error`, for four distinct types of normal output from
interactive commands.
color.pager::
A boolean to specify whether `auto` color modes should colorize
output going to the pager. Defaults to true; set this to false
if your pager does not understand ANSI color codes.
color.push::
A boolean to enable/disable color in push errors. May be set to
`always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which
case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.push.error::
Use customized color for push errors.
color.remote::
If set, keywords at the start of the line are highlighted. The
keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success", and are
matched case-insensitively. May be set to `always`, `false` (or
`never`) or `auto` (or `true`). If unset, then the value of
`color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.remote.<slot>::
Use customized color for each remote keyword. `<slot>` may be
`hint`, `warning`, `success` or `error` which match the
corresponding keyword.
color.showBranch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
linkgit:git-show-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.status::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
linkgit:git-status[1]. May be set to `always`,
`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.status.<slot>::
Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
`added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
`changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
`untracked` (files which are not tracked by Git),
`branch` (the current branch),
`nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting
to red),
`localBranch` or `remoteBranch` (the local and remote branch names,
respectively, when branch and tracking information is displayed in the
status short-format), or
`unmerged` (files which have unmerged changes).
color.transport::
A boolean to enable/disable color when pushes are rejected. May be
set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which
case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.transport.rejected::
Use customized color when a push was rejected.
color.ui::
This variable determines the default value for variables such
as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
configuration to set a default for the `--color` option. Set it
to `false` or `never` if you prefer Git commands not to use
color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration
or the `--color` option. Set it to `always` if you want all
output not intended for machine consumption to use color, to
`true` or `auto` (this is the default since Git 1.8.4) if you
want such output to use color when written to the terminal.
