Merge branch 'nd/config-split'
Split the overly large Documentation/config.txt file into million
little pieces. This potentially allows each individual piece
included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.

-advice.*::
- These variables control various optional help messages designed to
- aid new users. All 'advice.*' variables default to 'true', and you
- can tell Git that you do not need help by setting these to 'false':
-+
---
- pushUpdateRejected::
- Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable
- 'pushNonFFCurrent',
- 'pushNonFFMatching', 'pushAlreadyExists',
- 'pushFetchFirst', and 'pushNeedsForce'
- simultaneously.
- pushNonFFCurrent::
- Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
- non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
- pushNonFFMatching::
- Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
- 'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
- specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
- it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
- pushAlreadyExists::
- Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
- does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
- pushFetchFirst::
- Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
- tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
- object we do not have.
- pushNeedsForce::
- Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
- tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
- object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
- ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
- statusHints::
- Show directions on how to proceed from the current
- state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in
- the template shown when writing commit messages in
- linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
- by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.
- statusUoption::
- Advise to consider using the `-u` option to linkgit:git-status[1]
- when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate untracked
- files.
- commitBeforeMerge::
- Advice shown when linkgit:git-merge[1] refuses to
- merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
- resolveConflict::
- Advice shown by various commands when conflicts
- prevent the operation from being performed.
- implicitIdentity::
- Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
- your information is guessed from the system username and
- domain name.
- detachedHead::
- Advice shown when you used linkgit:git-checkout[1] to
- move to the detach HEAD state, to instruct how to create
- a local branch after the fact.
- checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName::
- Advice shown when the argument to
- linkgit:git-checkout[1] ambiguously resolves to a
- remote tracking branch on more than one remote in
- situations where an unambiguous argument would have
- otherwise caused a remote-tracking branch to be
- checked out. See the `checkout.defaultRemote`
- configuration variable for how to set a given remote
- to used by default in some situations where this
- advice would be printed.

- editor input from the user.
---
+include::config/core.txt[]
-core.fileMode::
- Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
- is to be honored.
-+
-Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
-marked as executable is checked out, or checks out a
-non-executable file with executable bit on.
-linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
-to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
-and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
-+
-A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
-the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
-when created, but later may be made accessible from another
-environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
-CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
-Git for Windows or Eclipse).
-In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
-See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
-+
-The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
+include::config/add.txt[]
-core.hideDotFiles::
- (Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose
- name starts with a dot as hidden. If 'dotGitOnly', only the `.git/`
- directory is hidden, but no other files starting with a dot. The
- default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
+include::config/alias.txt[]
-core.ignoreCase::
- Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
- Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
- like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
- finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
- it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
- "Makefile".
-+
-The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-+
-Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
-and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
+include::config/am.txt[]
-core.precomposeUnicode::
- This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
- When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
- of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
- between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
- (Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
- When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
- which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
+include::config/apply.txt[]
-core.protectHFS::
- If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
- be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
- Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
+include::config/blame.txt[]
-core.protectNTFS::
- If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
- cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
- 8.3 "short" names.
- Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
+include::config/branch.txt[]
-core.fsmonitor::
- If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
- will identify all files that may have changed since the
- requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
- avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
- See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
+include::config/browser.txt[]
-core.trustctime::
- If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
- working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
- is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
- crawlers and some backup systems).
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
+include::config/checkout.txt[]
-core.splitIndex::
- If true, the split-index feature of the index will be used.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. False by default.
+include::config/clean.txt[]
-core.untrackedCache::
- Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the
- index. It will be kept, if this variable is unset or set to
- `keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
- it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
- setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
- properly on your system.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
+include::config/color.txt[]
-core.checkStat::
- When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
- structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
- since Git looked at it. When this configuration variable is
- set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
- uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
- the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
- excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
- whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
- is set) and the filesize to be checked.
-+
-There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
-some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
-comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
-same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
+include::config/column.txt[]
-core.quotePath::
- Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
- quote "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
- pathname in double-quotes and escaping those characters with
- backslashes in the same way C escapes control characters (e.g.
- `\t` for TAB, `\n` for LF, `\\` for backslash) or bytes with
- values larger than 0x80 (e.g. octal `\302\265` for "micro" in
- UTF-8). If this variable is set to false, bytes higher than
- 0x80 are not considered "unusual" any more. Double-quotes,
- backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
- of the setting of this variable. A simple space character is
- not considered "unusual". Many commands can output pathnames
- completely verbatim using the `-z` option. The default value
- is true.
+include::config/commit.txt[]
-core.eol::
- Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
- files that have the `text` property set when core.autocrlf is false.
- Alternatives are 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's
- native line ending. The default value is `native`. See
- linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
- conversion.
+include::config/credential.txt[]
-core.safecrlf::
- If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
- end-of-line conversion is active. Git will verify if a command
- modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
- For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
- same file should yield the original file in the work tree. If
- this is not the case for the current setting of
- `core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file. The variable can
- be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
- irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
-+
-CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
-When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
-CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
-CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git. For text
-files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
-such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
-But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
-conversion can corrupt data.
-+
-If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
-setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
-after committing you still have the original file in your work
-tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
-Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
-appropriately.
-+
-Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
-mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
-files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
-in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
-to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
-converting CRLFs corrupts data.
-+
-Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
-file identical to the original file for a different setting of
-`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one. For
-example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
-and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
-resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
-contained `LF`. However, in both work trees the line endings would be
-consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed. A
-file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
-mechanism.
+include::config/completion.txt[]
-core.autocrlf::
- Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
- the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
- Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
- working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
- This variable can be set to 'input',
- in which case no output conversion is performed.
+include::config/diff.txt[]
-core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
- A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
- performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
- `working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
- The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
+include::config/difftool.txt[]
-core.symlinks::
- If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
- contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
- linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
- file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
- symbolic links.
-+
-The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
+include::config/fastimport.txt[]
-core.gitProxy::
- A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
- of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
- using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
- in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
- on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
- may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
- the first match wins.
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
-(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
-handling).
-+
-The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
-specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
-This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
-proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
+include::config/fetch.txt[]
-core.sshCommand::
- If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
- use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
- connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
- the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
- when the environment variable is set.
+include::config/format.txt[]
-core.ignoreStat::
- If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
- changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
- which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
-+
-When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
-the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
-linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
-Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
-+
-This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
-CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
-+
-False by default.
+include::config/filter.txt[]
-core.preferSymlinkRefs::
- Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
- and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
- This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
- expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
+include::config/fsck.txt[]
-core.alternateRefsCommand::
- When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
- execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
- first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
- hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produced by `git for-each-ref
- --format='%(objectname)'`).
-+
-Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
-value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
-the command above in a shell script).
+include::config/gc.txt[]
-core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
- When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
- with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
- linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with
- whitespace. If `core.alternateRefsCommand` is set, setting
- `core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
+include::config/gitcvs.txt[]
-core.bare::
- If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
- working directory associated with it. If this is the case a
- number of commands that require a working directory will be
- disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
-+
-This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
-linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created. By default a
-repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
-false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
-= true).
+include::config/gitweb.txt[]
-core.worktree::
- Set the path to the root of the working tree.
- If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
- is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
- This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
- variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
- The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
- the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
- or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
- If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
- --work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the top level
- of your working tree.
-+
-Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
-file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
-from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
-core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
-misconfiguration. Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
-still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
-confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
-read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
-repository's usual working tree).
+include::config/grep.txt[]
-core.logAllRefUpdates::
- Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
- "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
- SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
- only when the file exists. If this configuration
- variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
- file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
- `refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
- note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
- If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
- created for any ref under `refs/`.
-+
-This information can be used to determine what commit
-was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
-+
-This value is true by default in a repository that has
-a working directory associated with it, and false by
-default in a bare repository.
+include::config/gpg.txt[]
-core.repositoryFormatVersion::
- Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
- version.
+include::config/gui.txt[]
-core.sharedRepository::
- When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
- several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
- group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
- repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
- group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
- reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
- files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
- user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
- requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
- the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
- others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
- repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
- See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
+include::config/guitool.txt[]
-core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
- If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
- and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
+include::config/help.txt[]
-core.compression::
- An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
- -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
- and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
- If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
- such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
+include::config/http.txt[]
-core.looseCompression::
- An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
- are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
- compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
- slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
- not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
+include::config/i18n.txt[]
-core.packedGitWindowSize::
- Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
- single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
- your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
- more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
- performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
- memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
- a large number of large pack files.
-+
-Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
-MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
-be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
-not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+include::config/imap.txt[]
-core.packedGitLimit::
- Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
- from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
- bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
- regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
-+
-Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 32 TiB (effectively
-unlimited) on 64 bit platforms.
-This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
-the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+include::config/index.txt[]
-core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
- Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
- that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects. By storing the
- entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
- to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
- objects multiple times.
-+
-Default is 96 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
-for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
-You probably do not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+include::config/init.txt[]
-core.bigFileThreshold::
- Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
- attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
- delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
- slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
- larger than this size are always treated as binary.
-+
-Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
-for most projects as source code and other text files can still
-be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+include::config/instaweb.txt[]
-core.excludesFile::
- Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
- describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
- to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and '.git/info/exclude'.
- Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
- If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
- is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
+include::config/interactive.txt[]
-core.askPass::
- Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
- ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
- via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
- environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
- `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
- prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
- command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
+include::config/log.txt[]
-core.attributesFile::
- In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
- '.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
- (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
- way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not
- set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/attributes` is used instead.
+include::config/mailinfo.txt[]
-core.hooksPath::
- By default Git will look for your hooks in the
- '$GIT_DIR/hooks' directory. Set this to different path,
- e.g. '/etc/git/hooks', and Git will try to find your hooks in
- that directory, e.g. '/etc/git/hooks/pre-receive' instead of
- in '$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive'.
-+
-The path can be either absolute or relative. A relative path is
-taken as relative to the directory where the hooks are run (see
-the "DESCRIPTION" section of linkgit:githooks[5]).
-+
-This configuration variable is useful in cases where you'd like to
-centrally configure your Git hooks instead of configuring them on a
-per-repository basis, or as a more flexible and centralized
-alternative to having an `init.templateDir` where you've changed
-default hooks.
+include::config/mailmap.txt[]
-core.editor::
- Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
- messages by launching an editor use the value of this
- variable when it is set, and the environment variable
- `GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
+include::config/man.txt[]
-core.commentChar::
- Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
- messages consider a line that begins with this character
- commented, and removes them after the editor returns
- (default '#').
-+
-If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
-the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
+include::config/merge.txt[]
-core.filesRefLockTimeout::
- The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
- lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
- all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
- retry for 100ms).
+include::config/mergetool.txt[]
-core.packedRefsTimeout::
- The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
- lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
- all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
- retry for 1 second).
+include::config/notes.txt[]
-core.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').
-+
-When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
-(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
-all). If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
-for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`. This will
-be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
-command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
-`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
-long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
-deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
-command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
-`less`. One can specifically activate some flags for particular
-commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
-line truncation only for `git blame`.
-+
-Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
-to `-c`. You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
-another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
+include::config/pack.txt[]
-core.whitespace::
- A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
- notice. 'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
- highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
- consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
- any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
-+
-* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
- as an error (enabled by default).
-* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
- before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
- error (enabled by default).
-* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
- characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
- default).
-* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
- the line as an error (not enabled by default).
-* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
- (enabled by default).
-* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
- `blank-at-eof`.
-* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
- part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
- does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
- is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
-* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
- is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
- errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
+include::config/pager.txt[]
-core.fsyncObjectFiles::
- This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
-+
-This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
-data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
-journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
-and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
+include::config/pretty.txt[]
-core.preloadIndex::
- Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
-+
-This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
-on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
-relatively high IO latencies. When enabled, Git will do the
-index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
-overlapping IO's. Defaults to true.
+include::config/protocol.txt[]
-core.createObject::
- You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
- a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
- will not overwrite existing objects.
-+
-On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
-Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
-check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
+include::config/pull.txt[]
-core.notesRef::
- When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
- the given ref. The ref must be fully qualified. If the given
- ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
- notes should be printed.
-+
-This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
-the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
+include::config/push.txt[]
-core.commitGraph::
- If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
- to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to false. See
- linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
+include::config/rebase.txt[]
-core.useReplaceRefs::
- If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
- option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
- linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
+include::config/receive.txt[]
-core.multiPackIndex::
- Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
- single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
- multi-pack-index design document].
+include::config/remote.txt[]
-core.sparseCheckout::
- Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
- linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
+include::config/remotes.txt[]
-core.abbrev::
- Set the length object names are abbreviated to. If
- unspecified or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
- computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
- in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
- abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
- The minimum length is 4.
+include::config/repack.txt[]
-add.ignoreErrors::
-add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
- Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
- added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the `--ignore-errors`
- option of linkgit:git-add[1]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,
- as it does not follow the usual naming convention for configuration
- variables.
+include::config/rerere.txt[]
-alias.*::
- Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
- after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
- "git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid
- confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that
- hide existing Git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by
- spaces, the usual shell quoting and escaping is supported.
- A quote pair or a backslash can be used to quote them.
-+
-If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point,
-it will be treated as a shell command. For example, defining
-"alias.new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD", the invocation
-"git new" is equivalent to running the shell command
-"gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD". Note that shell commands will be
-executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
-not necessarily be the current directory.
-`GIT_PREFIX` is set as returned by running 'git rev-parse --show-prefix'
-from the original current directory. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
+include::config/reset.txt[]
-am.keepcr::
- If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
- with parameter `--keep-cr`. In this case git-mailsplit will
- not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overridden
- by giving `--no-keep-cr` from the command line.
- See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].
+include::config/sendemail.txt[]
-am.threeWay::
- By default, `git am` will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
- set to true, this setting tells `git am` to fall back on 3-way merge if
- the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
- we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the `--3way`
- option from the command line). Defaults to `false`.
- See linkgit:git-am[1].
+include::config/sequencer.txt[]
-apply.ignoreWhitespace::
- When set to 'change', tells 'git apply' to ignore changes in
- whitespace, in the same way as the `--ignore-space-change`
- option.
- When set to one of: no, none, never, false tells 'git apply' to
- respect all whitespace differences.
- See linkgit:git-apply[1].
+include::config/showbranch.txt[]
-apply.whitespace::
- Tells 'git apply' how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
- as the `--whitespace` option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
+include::config/splitindex.txt[]
-blame.blankBoundary::
- Show blank commit object name for boundary commits in
- linkgit:git-blame[1]. This option defaults to false.
+include::config/ssh.txt[]
-blame.coloring::
- This determines the coloring scheme to be applied to blame
- output. It can be 'repeatedLines', 'highlightRecent',
- or 'none' which is the default.
+include::config/status.txt[]
-blame.date::
- Specifies the format used to output dates in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- If unset the iso format is used. For supported values,
- see the discussion of the `--date` option at linkgit:git-log[1].
+include::config/stash.txt[]
-blame.showEmail::
- Show the author email instead of author name in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- This option defaults to false.
+include::config/submodule.txt[]
-blame.showRoot::
- Do not treat root commits as boundaries in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- This option defaults to false.
+include::config/tag.txt[]
-branch.autoSetupMerge::
- Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
- so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from the
- starting point branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
- this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
- and `--no-track` options. The valid settings are: `false` -- no
- automatic setup is done; `true` -- automatic setup is done when the
- starting point is a remote-tracking branch; `always` --
- automatic setup is done when the starting point is either a
- local branch or remote-tracking
- branch. This option defaults to true.
+include::config/transfer.txt[]
-branch.autoSetupRebase::
- When a new branch is created with 'git branch' or 'git checkout'
- that tracks another branch, this variable tells Git to set
- up pull to rebase instead of merge (see "branch.<name>.rebase").
- When `never`, rebase is never automatically set to true.
- When `local`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
- other local branches.
- When `remote`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
- remote-tracking branches.
- When `always`, rebase will be set to true for all tracking
- branches.
- See "branch.autoSetupMerge" for details on how to set up a
- branch to track another branch.
- This option defaults to never.
+include::config/uploadarchive.txt[]
-branch.sort::
- This variable controls the sort ordering of branches when displayed by
- linkgit:git-branch[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
- value of this variable will be used as the default.
- See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] field names for valid values.
+include::config/uploadpack.txt[]
-branch.<name>.remote::
- When on branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' and 'git push'
- which remote to fetch from/push to. The remote to push to
- may be overridden with `remote.pushDefault` (for all branches).
- The remote to push to, for the current branch, may be further
- overridden by `branch.<name>.pushRemote`. If no remote is
- configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
- `origin` for fetching and `remote.pushDefault` for pushing.
- Additionally, `.` (a period) is the current local repository
- (a dot-repository), see `branch.<name>.merge`'s final note below.
+include::config/url.txt[]
-branch.<name>.pushRemote::
- When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for
- pushing. It also overrides `remote.pushDefault` for pushing
- from branch <name>. When you pull from one place (e.g. your
- upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own publishing
- repository), you would want to set `remote.pushDefault` to
- specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this
- option to override it for a specific branch.
+include::config/user.txt[]
-branch.<name>.merge::
- Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
- for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull'/'git rebase' which
- branch to merge and can also affect 'git push' (see push.default).
- When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
- refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
- handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
- ref which is fetched from the remote given by
- "branch.<name>.remote".
- The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
- 'git fetch') to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
- this option, 'git pull' defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
- Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
- If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from
- another branch in the local repository, you can point
- branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the relative path
- setting `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+include::config/versionsort.txt[]
-branch.<name>.mergeOptions::
- Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and
- supported options are the same as those of linkgit:git-merge[1], but
- option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
- supported.
+include::config/web.txt[]
-branch.<name>.rebase::
- When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
- instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when
- "git pull" is run. See "pull.rebase" for doing this in a non
- branch-specific manner.
-+
-When `merges`, pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase'
-so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see
-linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details).
-+
-When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
-so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
-by running 'git pull'.
-+
-When the value is `interactive`, the rebase is run in interactive mode.
-+
-*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
-it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
-for details).
-
-branch.<name>.description::
- Branch description, can be edited with
- `git branch --edit-description`. Branch description is
- automatically added in the format-patch cover letter or
- request-pull summary.
-
-browser.<tool>.cmd::
- Specify the command to invoke the specified browser. The
- specified command is evaluated in shell with the URLs passed
- as arguments. (See linkgit:git-web{litdd}browse[1].)
-
-browser.<tool>.path::
- Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
- browse HTML help (see `-w` option in linkgit:git-help[1]) or a
- working repository in gitweb (see linkgit:git-instaweb[1]).
-
-checkout.defaultRemote::
- When you run 'git checkout <something>' and only have one
- remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
- tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. This stops working as soon
- as you have more than one remote with a '<something>'
- reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a
- preferred remote that should always win when it comes to
- disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to
- `origin`.
-+
-Currently this is used by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when 'git checkout
-<something>' will checkout the '<something>' branch on another remote,
-and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when 'git worktree add' refers to a
-remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like
-commands or functionality in the future.
-
-checkout.optimizeNewBranch::
- Optimizes the performance of "git checkout -b <new_branch>" when
- using sparse-checkout. When set to true, git will not update the
- repo based on the current sparse-checkout settings. This means it
- will not update the skip-worktree bit in the index nor add/remove
- files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse checkout
- settings nor will it show the local changes.
-
-clean.requireForce::
- A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f,
- -i or -n. Defaults to true.
-
-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::
- This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending
- on 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 given the colors if the 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 customized color for the part of git-blame output that
- is repeated meta information per line (such as commit id,
- author name, date and timezone). 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
-`selected`;;
- non-matching text in selected lines
-`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 enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
- use (default is true).
-
-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.
-
-column.ui::
- Specify whether supported commands should output in columns.
- This variable consists of a list of tokens separated by spaces
- or commas:
-+
-These options control when the feature should be enabled
-(defaults to 'never'):
-+
---
-`always`;;
- always show in columns
-`never`;;
- never show in columns
-`auto`;;
- show in columns if the output is to the terminal
---
-+
-These options control layout (defaults to 'column'). Setting any
-of these implies 'always' if none of 'always', 'never', or 'auto' are
-specified.
-+
---
-`column`;;
- fill columns before rows
-`row`;;
- fill rows before columns
-`plain`;;
- show in one column
---
-+
-Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option (defaults
-to 'nodense'):
-+
---
-`dense`;;
- make unequal size columns to utilize more space
-`nodense`;;
- make equal size columns
---
-
-column.branch::
- Specify whether to output branch listing in `git branch` in columns.
- See `column.ui` for details.
-
-column.clean::
- Specify the layout when list items in `git clean -i`, which always
- shows files and directories in columns. See `column.ui` for details.
-
-column.status::
- Specify whether to output untracked files in `git status` in columns.
- See `column.ui` for details.
-
-column.tag::
- Specify whether to output tag listing in `git tag` in columns.
- See `column.ui` for details.
-
-commit.cleanup::
- This setting overrides the default of the `--cleanup` option in
- `git commit`. See linkgit:git-commit[1] for details. Changing the
- default can be useful when you always want to keep lines that begin
- with comment character `#` in your log message, in which case you
- would do `git config commit.cleanup whitespace` (note that you will
- have to remove the help lines that begin with `#` in the commit log
- template yourself, if you do this).
-
-commit.gpgSign::
-
- A boolean to specify whether all commits should be GPG signed.
- Use of this option when doing operations such as rebase can
- result in a large number of commits being signed. It may be
- convenient to use an agent to avoid typing your GPG passphrase
- several times.
-
-commit.status::
- A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
- commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
- message. Defaults to true.
-
-commit.template::
- Specify the pathname of a file to use as the template for
- new commit messages.
-
-commit.verbose::
- A boolean or int to specify the level of verbose with `git commit`.
- See linkgit:git-commit[1].
-
-credential.helper::
- Specify an external helper to be called when a username or
- password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
- storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. Note
- that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
- for details.
-
-credential.useHttpPath::
- When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
- or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
- linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information.
-
-credential.username::
- If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username
- by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and
- linkgit:gitcredentials[7].
-
-credential.<url>.*::
- Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to
- some credentials. For example "credential.https://example.com.username"
- would set the default username only for https connections to
- example.com. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details on how URLs are
- matched.
-
-credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP::
- Tell git-credential-cache--daemon to ignore SIGHUP, instead of quitting.
-
-completion.commands::
- This is only used by git-completion.bash to add or remove
- commands from the list of completed commands. Normally only
- porcelain commands and a few select others are completed. You
- can add more commands, separated by space, in this
- variable. Prefixing the command with '-' will remove it from
- the existing list.
-
-include::diff-config.txt[]
-
-difftool.<tool>.path::
- Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
- your tool is not in the PATH.
-
-difftool.<tool>.cmd::
- Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
- The specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
- variables available: 'LOCAL' is set to the name of the temporary
- file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and 'REMOTE'
- is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
- of the diff post-image.
-
-difftool.prompt::
- Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
-
-fastimport.unpackLimit::
- If the number of objects imported by linkgit:git-fast-import[1]
- is below this limit, then the objects will be unpacked into
- loose object files. However if the number of imported objects
- equals or exceeds this limit then the pack will be stored as a
- pack. Storing the pack from a fast-import can make the import
- operation complete faster, especially on slow filesystems. If
- not set, the value of `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-
-include::fetch-config.txt[]
-
-include::format-config.txt[]
-
-filter.<driver>.clean::
- The command which is used to convert the content of a worktree
- file to a blob upon checkin. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
- details.
-
-filter.<driver>.smudge::
- The command which is used to convert the content of a blob
- object to a worktree file upon checkout. See
- linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
-
-fsck.<msg-id>::
- During fsck git may find issues with legacy data which
- wouldn't be generated by current versions of git, and which
- wouldn't be sent over the wire if `transfer.fsckObjects` was
- set. This feature is intended to support working with legacy
- repositories containing such data.
-+
-Setting `fsck.<msg-id>` will be picked up by linkgit:git-fsck[1], but
-to accept pushes of such data set `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` instead, or
-to clone or fetch it set `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`.
-+
-The rest of the documentation discusses `fsck.*` for brevity, but the
-same applies for the corresponding `receive.fsck.*` and
-`fetch.<msg-id>.*`. variables.
-+
-Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
-`receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>` variables will not
-fall back on the `fsck.<msg-id>` configuration if they aren't set. To
-uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
-all three of them they must all set to the same values.
-+
-When `fsck.<msg-id>` is set, errors can be switched to warnings and
-vice versa by configuring the `fsck.<msg-id>` setting where the
-`<msg-id>` is the fsck message ID and the value is one of `error`,
-`warn` or `ignore`. For convenience, fsck prefixes the error/warning
-with the message ID, e.g. "missingEmail: invalid author/committer line
-- missing email" means that setting `fsck.missingEmail = ignore` will
-hide that issue.
-+
-In general, it is better to enumerate existing objects with problems
-with `fsck.skipList`, instead of listing the kind of breakages these
-problematic objects share to be ignored, as doing the latter will
-allow new instances of the same breakages go unnoticed.
-+
-Setting an unknown `fsck.<msg-id>` value will cause fsck to die, but
-doing the same for `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`
-will only cause git to warn.
-
-fsck.skipList::
- The path to a list of object names (i.e. one unabbreviated SHA-1 per
- line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should
- be ignored. On versions of Git 2.20 and later comments ('#'), empty
- lines, and any leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Everything
- but a SHA-1 per line will error out on older versions.
-+
-This feature is useful when an established project should be accepted
-despite early commits containing errors that can be safely ignored
-such as invalid committer email addresses. Note: corrupt objects
-cannot be skipped with this setting.
-+
-Like `fsck.<msg-id>` this variable has corresponding
-`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variants.
-+
-Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
-`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variables will not
-fall back on the `fsck.skipList` configuration if they aren't set. To
-uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
-all three of them they must all set to the same values.
-+
-Older versions of Git (before 2.20) documented that the object names
-list should be sorted. This was never a requirement, the object names
-could appear in any order, but when reading the list we tracked whether
-the list was sorted for the purposes of an internal binary search
-implementation, which could save itself some work with an already sorted
-list. Unless you had a humongous list there was no reason to go out of
-your way to pre-sort the list. After Git version 2.20 a hash implementation
-is used instead, so there's now no reason to pre-sort the list.
-
-gc.aggressiveDepth::
- The depth parameter used in the delta compression
- algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
- to 50.
-
-gc.aggressiveWindow::
- The window size parameter used in the delta compression
- algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
- to 250.
-
-gc.auto::
- When there are approximately more than this many loose
- objects in the repository, `git gc --auto` will pack them.
- Some Porcelain commands use this command to perform a
- light-weight garbage collection from time to time. The
- default value is 6700. Setting this to 0 disables it.
-
-gc.autoPackLimit::
- When there are more than this many packs that are not
- marked with `*.keep` file in the repository, `git gc
- --auto` consolidates them into one larger pack. The
- default value is 50. Setting this to 0 disables it.
-
-gc.autoDetach::
- Make `git gc --auto` return immediately and run in background
- if the system supports it. Default is true.
-
-gc.bigPackThreshold::
- If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when
- `git gc` is run. This is very similar to `--keep-base-pack`
- except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
- just the base pack. Defaults to zero. Common unit suffixes of
- 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-+
-Note that if the number of kept packs is more than gc.autoPackLimit,
-this configuration variable is ignored, all packs except the base pack
-will be repacked. After this the number of packs should go below
-gc.autoPackLimit and gc.bigPackThreshold should be respected again.
-
-gc.writeCommitGraph::
- If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
- linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using linkgit:git-gc[1]
- '--auto' the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
- required. Default is false. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]
- for details.
-
-gc.logExpiry::
- If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` will print
- its content and exit with status zero instead of running
- unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old. Default is
- "1.day". See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
- value.
-
-gc.packRefs::
- Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
- unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
- transports such as HTTP. This variable determines whether
- 'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`
- to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
- boolean value. The default is `true`.
-
-gc.pruneExpire::
- When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
- Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
- "now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
- unreachable objects immediately, or "never" may be used to
- suppress pruning. This feature helps prevent corruption when
- 'git gc' runs concurrently with another process writing to the
- repository; see the "NOTES" section of linkgit:git-gc[1].
-
-gc.worktreePruneExpire::
- When 'git gc' is run, it calls
- 'git worktree prune --expire 3.months.ago'.
- This config variable can be used to set a different grace
- period. The value "now" may be used to disable the grace
- period and prune `$GIT_DIR/worktrees` immediately, or "never"
- may be used to suppress pruning.
-
-gc.reflogExpire::
-gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
- 'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
- this time; defaults to 90 days. The value "now" expires all
- entries immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration
- altogether. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
- "refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
- the refs that match the <pattern>.
-
-gc.reflogExpireUnreachable::
-gc.<pattern>.reflogExpireUnreachable::
- 'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
- this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
- defaults to 30 days. The value "now" expires all entries
- immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration altogether.
- With "<pattern>" (e.g. "refs/stash")
- in the middle, the setting applies only to the refs that
- match the <pattern>.
-
-gc.rerereResolved::
- Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
- kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
- You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
- The default is 60 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
-
-gc.rerereUnresolved::
- Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
- kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
- You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
- The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].

-
-grep.lineNumber::
- If set to true, enable `-n` option by default.
-
-grep.column::
- If set to true, enable the `--column` option by default.
-
-grep.patternType::
- Set the default matching behavior. Using a value of 'basic', 'extended',
- 'fixed', or 'perl' will enable the `--basic-regexp`, `--extended-regexp`,
- `--fixed-strings`, or `--perl-regexp` option accordingly, while the
- value 'default' will return to the default matching behavior.
-
-grep.extendedRegexp::
- If set to true, enable `--extended-regexp` option by default. This
- option is ignored when the `grep.patternType` option is set to a value
- other than 'default'.
-
-grep.threads::
- Number of grep worker threads to use.
- See `grep.threads` in linkgit:git-grep[1] for more information.
-
-grep.fallbackToNoIndex::
- If set to true, fall back to git grep --no-index if git grep
- is executed outside of a git repository. Defaults to false.
-
-gpg.program::
- Use this custom program instead of "`gpg`" found on `$PATH` when
- making or verifying a PGP signature. The program must support the
- same command-line interface as GPG, namely, to verify a detached
- signature, "`gpg --verify $file - <$signature`" is run, and the
- program is expected to signal a good signature by exiting with
- code 0, and to generate an ASCII-armored detached signature, the
- standard input of "`gpg -bsau $key`" is fed with the contents to be
- signed, and the program is expected to send the result to its
- standard output.
-
-gpg.format::
- Specifies which key format to use when signing with `--gpg-sign`.
- Default is "openpgp" and another possible value is "x509".
-
-gpg.<format>.program::
- Use this to customize the program used for the signing format you
- chose. (see `gpg.program` and `gpg.format`) `gpg.program` can still
- be used as a legacy synonym for `gpg.openpgp.program`. The default
- value for `gpg.x509.program` is "gpgsm".
-
-include::gui-config.txt[]
-
-guitool.<name>.cmd::
- Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
- of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
- mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
- the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
- the tool as `GIT_GUITOOL`, the name of the currently selected file as
- 'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
- the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
-
-guitool.<name>.needsFile::
- Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
- that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
-
-guitool.<name>.noConsole::
- Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
- output.
-
-guitool.<name>.noRescan::
- Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
- finishes execution.
-
-guitool.<name>.confirm::
- Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
-
-guitool.<name>.argPrompt::
- Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
- through the `ARGS` environment variable. Since requesting an
- argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
- if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
- the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
- value of the variable is used.
-
-guitool.<name>.revPrompt::
- Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
- `REVISION` environment variable. In other aspects this option
- is similar to 'argPrompt', and can be used together with it.
-
-guitool.<name>.revUnmerged::
- Show only unmerged branches in the 'revPrompt' subdialog.
- This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
- for things like checkout or reset.
-
-guitool.<name>.title::
- Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
- is the tool name.
-
-guitool.<name>.prompt::
- Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
- the dialog, before subsections for 'argPrompt' and 'revPrompt'.
- The default value includes the actual command.
-
-help.browser::
- Specify the browser that will be used to display help in the
- 'web' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
-
-help.format::
- Override the default help format used by linkgit:git-help[1].
- Values 'man', 'info', 'web' and 'html' are supported. 'man' is
- the default. 'web' and 'html' are the same.
-
-help.autoCorrect::
- Automatically correct and execute mistyped commands after
- waiting for the given number of deciseconds (0.1 sec). If more
- than one command can be deduced from the entered text, nothing
- will be executed. If the value of this option is negative,
- the corrected command will be executed immediately. If the
- value is 0 - the command will be just shown but not executed.
- This is the default.
-
-help.htmlPath::
- Specify the path where the HTML documentation resides. File system paths
- and URLs are supported. HTML pages will be prefixed with this path when
- help is displayed in the 'web' format. This defaults to the documentation
- path of your Git installation.
-
-http.proxy::
- Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
- 'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
- addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
- proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
- attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
- linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
- '[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port]'. This can be overridden
- on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
-
-http.proxyAuthMethod::
- Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
- only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
- (i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
- overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
- Both can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD` environment
- variable. Possible values are:
-+
---
-* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
- assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
- status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
- authentication methods. This is the default.
-* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
-* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
- transmitted to the proxy in clear text
-* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
- of `curl(1)`)
-* `ntlm` - NTLM authentication (compare the --ntlm option of `curl(1)`)
---
-
-http.emptyAuth::
- Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password. This
- can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying
- a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
- authentication.
-
-http.delegation::
- Control GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled
- by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7. Set parameter to tell
- the server what it is allowed to delegate when it comes to user
- credentials. Used with GSS/kerberos. Possible values are:
-+
---
-* `none` - Don't allow any delegation.
-* `policy` - Delegates if and only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the
- Kerberos service ticket, which is a matter of realm policy.
-* `always` - Unconditionally allow the server to delegate.
---
-
-
-http.extraHeader::
- Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server. If
- more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
- headers. To allow overriding the settings inherited from the system
- config, an empty value will reset the extra headers to the empty list.
-
-http.cookieFile::
- The pathname of a file containing previously stored cookie lines,
- which should be used
- in the Git http session, if they match the server. The file format
- of the file to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers or
- the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see `curl(1)`).
- NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is used only as
- input unless http.saveCookies is set.
-
-http.saveCookies::
- If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
- http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset.
-
-http.sslVersion::
- The SSL version to use when negotiating an SSL connection, if you
- want to force the default. The available and default version
- depend on whether libcurl was built against NSS or OpenSSL and the
- particular configuration of the crypto library in use. Internally
- this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_VERSION' option; see the libcurl
- documentation for more details on the format of this option and
- for the ssl version supported. Actually the possible values of
- this option are:
-
- - sslv2
- - sslv3
- - tlsv1
- - tlsv1.0
- - tlsv1.1
- - tlsv1.2
- - tlsv1.3
-
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_VERSION` environment variable.
-To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
-explicit http.sslversion option, set `GIT_SSL_VERSION` to the
-empty string.
-
-http.sslCipherList::
- A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
- The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
- NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto
- library in use. Internally this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST'
- option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
- of this list.
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` environment variable.
-To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
-explicit http.sslCipherList option, set `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` to the
-empty string.
-
-http.sslVerify::
- Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
- over HTTPS. Defaults to true. Can be overridden by the
- `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable.
-
-http.sslCert::
- File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
- over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CERT` environment
- variable.
-
-http.sslKey::
- File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing
- over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_KEY` environment
- variable.
-
-http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
- Enable Git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
- OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
- certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the
- `GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED` environment variable.
-
-http.sslCAInfo::
- File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
- fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
- `GIT_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
-
-http.sslCAPath::
- Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer
- with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
- by the `GIT_SSL_CAPATH` environment variable.
-
-http.sslBackend::
- Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
- This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
- backend at runtime.
-
-http.schannelCheckRevoke::
- Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
- when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
- unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
- and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
- certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
- setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
-
-http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
- As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
- certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
- override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
- by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
- when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
- unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
-
-http.pinnedpubkey::
- Public key of the https service. It may either be the filename of
- a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with
- 'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the
- public key. See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'. git will
- exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by
- cURL.
-
-http.sslTry::
- Attempt to use AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers
- when connecting via regular FTP protocol. This might be needed
- if the FTP server requires it for security reasons or you wish
- to connect securely whenever remote FTP server supports it.
- Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification
- errors on misconfigured servers.
-
-http.maxRequests::
- How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
- by the `GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS` environment variable. Default is 5.
-
-http.minSessions::
- The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
- requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
- http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
- value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
-
-http.postBuffer::
- Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
- transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
- For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and
- Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a
- massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is
- sufficient for most requests.
-
-http.lowSpeedLimit, http.lowSpeedTime::
- If the HTTP transfer speed is less than 'http.lowSpeedLimit'
- for longer than 'http.lowSpeedTime' seconds, the transfer is aborted.
- Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT` and
- `GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_TIME` environment variables.
-
-http.noEPSV::
- A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
- This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which don't
- support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the `GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV`
- environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
-
-http.userAgent::
- The HTTP USER_AGENT string presented to an HTTP server. The default
- value represents the version of the client Git such as git/1.7.1.
- This option allows you to override this value to a more common value
- such as Mozilla/4.0. This may be necessary, for instance, if
- connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set
- of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1).
- Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable.
-
-http.followRedirects::
- Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git
- will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it
- encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as
- errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for
- the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent
- follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as
- the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally
- sufficient. The default is `initial`.
-
-http.<url>.*::
- Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
- For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
- compared to that of the URL, in the following order:
-+
---
-. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
- must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
-
-. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
- This field must match between the config key and the URL. It is
- possible to specify a `*` as part of the host name to match all subdomains
- at this level. `https://*.example.com/` for example would match
- `https://foo.example.com/`, but not `https://foo.bar.example.com/`.
-
-. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`).
- This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
- Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
- default for the scheme before matching.
-
-. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
- path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL
- either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means
- a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only
- match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config
- key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
- key with just path `foo/`).
-
-. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`). If
- the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the
- URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that
- config key will match a URL with any user name (including none),
- but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name.
---
-+
-The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
-a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example,
-if the URL is `https://user@example.com/foo/bar` a config key match of
-`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of
-`https://user@example.com`.
-+
-All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part,
-if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that
-equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly.
-Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are
-matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs
-visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching.
-
-ssh.variant::
- By default, Git determines the command line arguments to use
- based on the basename of the configured SSH command (configured
- using the environment variable `GIT_SSH` or `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` or
- the config setting `core.sshCommand`). If the basename is
- unrecognized, Git will attempt to detect support of OpenSSH
- options by first invoking the configured SSH command with the
- `-G` (print configuration) option and will subsequently use
- OpenSSH options (if that is successful) or no options besides
- the host and remote command (if it fails).
-+
-The config variable `ssh.variant` can be set to override this detection.
-Valid values are `ssh` (to use OpenSSH options), `plink`, `putty`,
-`tortoiseplink`, `simple` (no options except the host and remote command).
-The default auto-detection can be explicitly requested using the value
-`auto`. Any other value is treated as `ssh`. This setting can also be
-overridden via the environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`.
-+
-The current command-line parameters used for each variant are as
-follows:
-+
---
-
-* `ssh` - [-p port] [-4] [-6] [-o option] [username@]host command
-
-* `simple` - [username@]host command
-
-* `plink` or `putty` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] [username@]host command
-
-* `tortoiseplink` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] -batch [username@]host command
-
---
-+
-Except for the `simple` variant, command-line parameters are likely to
-change as git gains new features.
-
-i18n.commitEncoding::
- Character encoding the commit messages are stored in; Git itself
- does not care per se, but this information is necessary e.g. when
- importing commits from emails or in the gitk graphical history
- browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
- porcelains). See e.g. linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
-
-i18n.logOutputEncoding::
- Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
- running 'git log' and friends.
-
-imap::
- The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
- in linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
-
-index.threads::
- Specifies the number of threads to spawn when loading the index.
- This is meant to reduce index load time on multiprocessor machines.
- Specifying 0 or 'true' will cause Git to auto-detect the number of
- CPU's and set the number of threads accordingly. Specifying 1 or
- 'false' will disable multithreading. Defaults to 'true'.
-
-index.version::
- Specify the version with which new index files should be
- initialized. This does not affect existing repositories.
-
-init.templateDir::
- Specify the directory from which templates will be copied.
- (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
-
-instaweb.browser::
- Specify the program that will be used to browse your working
- repository in gitweb. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
-
-instaweb.httpd::
- The HTTP daemon command-line to start gitweb on your working
- repository. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
-
-instaweb.local::
- If true the web server started by linkgit:git-instaweb[1] will
- be bound to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
-
-instaweb.modulePath::
- The default module path for linkgit:git-instaweb[1] to use
- instead of /usr/lib/apache2/modules. Only used if httpd
- is Apache.
-
-instaweb.port::
- The port number to bind the gitweb httpd to. See
- linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
-
-interactive.singleKey::
- In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
- input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
- Currently this is used by the `--patch` mode of
- linkgit:git-add[1], linkgit:git-checkout[1], linkgit:git-commit[1],
- linkgit:git-reset[1], and linkgit:git-stash[1]. Note that this
- setting is silently ignored if portable keystroke input
- is not available; requires the Perl module Term::ReadKey.
-
-interactive.diffFilter::
- When an interactive command (such as `git add --patch`) shows
- a colorized diff, git will pipe the diff through the shell
- command defined by this configuration variable. The command may
- mark up the diff further for human consumption, provided that it
- retains a one-to-one correspondence with the lines in the
- original diff. Defaults to disabled (no filtering).
-
-log.abbrevCommit::
- If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
- linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
- override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
-
-log.date::
- Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
- Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
- `--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
-
-log.decorate::
- Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
- command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
- 'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
- specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
- If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
- the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
- names are shown. This is the same as the `--decorate` option
- of the `git log`.
-
-log.follow::
- If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
- a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
- i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
- on non-linear history.
-
-log.graphColors::
- A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
- history lines in `git log --graph`.
-
-log.showRoot::
- If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
- This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
- Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
- normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
-
-log.showSignature::
- If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
- linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
-
-log.mailmap::
- If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
- linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`.
-
-mailinfo.scissors::
- If true, makes linkgit:git-mailinfo[1] (and therefore
- linkgit:git-am[1]) act by default as if the --scissors option
- was provided on the command-line. When active, this features
- removes everything from the message body before a scissors
- line (i.e. consisting mainly of ">8", "8<" and "-").
-
-mailmap.file::
- The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default
- mailmap, located in the root of the repository, is loaded
- first, then the mailmap file pointed to by this variable.
- The location of the mailmap file may be in a repository
- subdirectory, or somewhere outside of the repository itself.
- See linkgit:git-shortlog[1] and linkgit:git-blame[1].
-
-mailmap.blob::
- Like `mailmap.file`, but consider the value as a reference to a
- blob in the repository. If both `mailmap.file` and
- `mailmap.blob` are given, both are parsed, with entries from
- `mailmap.file` taking precedence. In a bare repository, this
- defaults to `HEAD:.mailmap`. In a non-bare repository, it
- defaults to empty.
-
-man.viewer::
- Specify the programs that may be used to display help in the
- 'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
-
-man.<tool>.cmd::
- Specify the command to invoke the specified man viewer. The
- specified command is evaluated in shell with the man page
- passed as argument. (See linkgit:git-help[1].)
-
-man.<tool>.path::
- Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
- display help in the 'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
-
-include::merge-config.txt[]
-
-mergetool.<tool>.path::
- Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
- your tool is not in the PATH.
-
-mergetool.<tool>.cmd::
- Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool. The
- specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
- variables available: 'BASE' is the name of a temporary file
- containing the common base of the files to be merged, if available;
- 'LOCAL' is the name of a temporary file containing the contents of
- the file on the current branch; 'REMOTE' is the name of a temporary
- file containing the contents of the file from the branch being
- merged; 'MERGED' contains the name of the file to which the merge
- tool should write the results of a successful merge.
-
-mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode::
- For a custom merge command, specify whether the exit code of
- the merge command can be used to determine whether the merge was
- successful. If this is not set to true then the merge target file
- timestamp is checked and the merge assumed to have been successful
- if the file has been updated, otherwise the user is prompted to
- indicate the success of the merge.
-
-mergetool.meld.hasOutput::
- Older versions of `meld` do not support the `--output` option.
- Git will attempt to detect whether `meld` supports `--output`
- by inspecting the output of `meld --help`. Configuring
- `mergetool.meld.hasOutput` will make Git skip these checks and
- use the configured value instead. Setting `mergetool.meld.hasOutput`
- to `true` tells Git to unconditionally use the `--output` option,
- and `false` avoids using `--output`.
-
-mergetool.keepBackup::
- After performing a merge, the original file with conflict markers
- can be saved as a file with a `.orig` extension. If this variable
- is set to `false` then this file is not preserved. Defaults to
- `true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
-
-mergetool.keepTemporaries::
- When invoking a custom merge tool, Git uses a set of temporary
- files to pass to the tool. If the tool returns an error and this
- variable is set to `true`, then these temporary files will be
- preserved, otherwise they will be removed after the tool has
- exited. Defaults to `false`.
-
-mergetool.writeToTemp::
- Git writes temporary 'BASE', 'LOCAL', and 'REMOTE' versions of
- conflicting files in the worktree by default. Git will attempt
- to use a temporary directory for these files when set `true`.
- Defaults to `false`.
-
-mergetool.prompt::
- Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
-
-notes.mergeStrategy::
- Which merge strategy to choose by default when resolving notes
- conflicts. Must be one of `manual`, `ours`, `theirs`, `union`, or
- `cat_sort_uniq`. Defaults to `manual`. See "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES"
- section of linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on each strategy.
-
-notes.<name>.mergeStrategy::
- Which merge strategy to choose when doing a notes merge into
- refs/notes/<name>. This overrides the more general
- "notes.mergeStrategy". See the "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES" section in
- linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on the available strategies.
-
-notes.displayRef::
- The (fully qualified) refname from which to show notes when
- showing commit messages. The value of this variable can be set
- to a glob, in which case notes from all matching refs will be
- shown. You may also specify this configuration variable
- several times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not
- exist, but a glob that does not match any refs is silently
- ignored.
-+
-This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
-environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
-globs.
-+
-The effective value of "core.notesRef" (possibly overridden by
-GIT_NOTES_REF) is also implicitly added to the list of refs to be
-displayed.
-
-notes.rewrite.<command>::
- When rewriting commits with <command> (currently `amend` or
- `rebase`) and this variable is set to `true`, Git
- automatically copies your notes from the original to the
- rewritten commit. Defaults to `true`, but see
- "notes.rewriteRef" below.
-
-notes.rewriteMode::
- When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
- "notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
- the target commit already has a note. Must be one of
- `overwrite`, `concatenate`, `cat_sort_uniq`, or `ignore`.
- Defaults to `concatenate`.
-+
-This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE`
-environment variable.
-
-notes.rewriteRef::
- When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
- qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. The ref may be a
- glob, in which case notes in all matching refs will be copied.
- You may also specify this configuration several times.
-+
-Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
-enable note rewriting. Set it to `refs/notes/commits` to enable
-rewriting for the default commit notes.
-+
-This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
-environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
-globs.
-
-pack.window::
- The size of the window used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
- window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
-
-pack.depth::
- The maximum delta depth used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
- maximum depth is given on the command line. Defaults to 50.
- Maximum value is 4095.
-
-pack.windowMemory::
- The maximum size of memory that is consumed by each thread
- in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] for pack window memory when
- no limit is given on the command line. The value can be
- suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". When left unconfigured (or
- set explicitly to 0), there will be no limit.
-
-pack.compression::
- An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects
- in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
- compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
- slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
- not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default
- compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
- to level 6)."
-+
-Note that changing the compression level will not automatically recompress
-all existing objects. You can force recompression by passing the -F option
-to linkgit:git-repack[1].
-
-pack.island::
- An extended regular expression configuring a set of delta
- islands. See "DELTA ISLANDS" in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
- for details.
-
-pack.islandCore::
- Specify an island name which gets to have its objects be
- packed first. This creates a kind of pseudo-pack at the front
- of one pack, so that the objects from the specified island are
- hopefully faster to copy into any pack that should be served
- to a user requesting these objects. In practice this means
- that the island specified should likely correspond to what is
- the most commonly cloned in the repo. See also "DELTA ISLANDS"
- in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
-
-pack.deltaCacheSize::
- The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
- linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] before writing them out to a pack.
- This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not
- having to recompute the final delta result once the best match
- for all objects is found. Repacking large repositories on machines
- which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though,
- especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping.
- A value of 0 means no limit. The smallest size of 1 byte may be
- used to virtually disable this cache. Defaults to 256 MiB.
-
-pack.deltaCacheLimit::
- The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in
- linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. This cache is used to speed up the
- writing object phase by not having to recompute the final delta
- result once the best match for all objects is found.
- Defaults to 1000. Maximum value is 65535.
-
-pack.threads::
- Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
- delta matches. This requires that linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
- be compiled with pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a
- warning. This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
- machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window
- is however multiplied by the number of threads.
- Specifying 0 will cause Git to auto-detect the number of CPU's
- and set the number of threads accordingly.
-
-pack.indexVersion::
- Specify the default pack index version. Valid values are 1 for
- legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
- the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB
- as well as proper protection against the repacking of corrupted
- packs. Version 2 is the default. Note that version 2 is enforced
- and this config option ignored whenever the corresponding pack is
- larger than 2 GB.
-+
-If you have an old Git that does not understand the version 2 `*.idx` file,
-cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http")
-that will copy both `*.pack` file and corresponding `*.idx` file from the
-other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
-older version of Git. If the `*.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
-you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
-the `*.idx` file.
-
-pack.packSizeLimit::
- The maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects
- packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol
- is unaffected. It can be overridden by the `--max-pack-size`
- option of linkgit:git-repack[1]. Reaching this limit results
- in the creation of multiple packfiles; which in turn prevents
- bitmaps from being created.
- The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB.
- The default is unlimited.
- Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
- supported.
-
-pack.useBitmaps::
- When true, git will use pack bitmaps (if available) when packing
- to stdout (e.g., during the server side of a fetch). Defaults to
- true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
- you are debugging pack bitmaps.
-
-pack.writeBitmaps (deprecated)::
- This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
-
-pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
- When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap
- index (if one is written). This cache can be used to feed git's
- delta heuristics, potentially leading to better deltas between
- bitmapped and non-bitmapped objects (e.g., when serving a fetch
- between an older, bitmapped pack and objects that have been
- pushed since the last gc). The downside is that it consumes 4
- bytes per object of disk space, and that JGit's bitmap
- implementation does not understand it, causing it to complain if
- Git and JGit are used on the same repository. Defaults to false.
-
-pager.<cmd>::
- If the value is boolean, turns on or off pagination of the
- output of a particular Git subcommand when writing to a tty.
- Otherwise, turns on pagination for the subcommand using the
- pager specified by the value of `pager.<cmd>`. If `--paginate`
- or `--no-pager` is specified on the command line, it takes
- precedence over this option. To disable pagination for all
- commands, set `core.pager` or `GIT_PAGER` to `cat`.
-
-pretty.<name>::
- Alias for a --pretty= format string, as specified in
- linkgit:git-log[1]. Any aliases defined here can be used just
- as the built-in pretty formats could. For example,
- running `git config pretty.changelog "format:* %H %s"`
- would cause the invocation `git log --pretty=changelog`
- to be equivalent to running `git log "--pretty=format:* %H %s"`.
- Note that an alias with the same name as a built-in format
- will be silently ignored.
-
-protocol.allow::
- If set, provide a user defined default policy for all protocols which
- don't explicitly have a policy (`protocol.<name>.allow`). By default,
- if unset, known-safe protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file) have a
- default policy of `always`, known-dangerous protocols (ext) have a
- default policy of `never`, and all other protocols have a default
- policy of `user`. Supported policies:
-+
---
-
-* `always` - protocol is always able to be used.
-
-* `never` - protocol is never able to be used.
-
-* `user` - protocol is only able to be used when `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` is
- either unset or has a value of 1. This policy should be used when you want a
- protocol to be directly usable by the user but don't want it used by commands which
- execute clone/fetch/push commands without user input, e.g. recursive
- submodule initialization.
-
---
-
-protocol.<name>.allow::
- Set a policy to be used by protocol `<name>` with clone/fetch/push
- commands. See `protocol.allow` above for the available policies.
-+
-The protocol names currently used by git are:
-+
---
- - `file`: any local file-based path (including `file://` URLs,
- or local paths)
-
- - `git`: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP
- connection (or proxy, if configured)
-
- - `ssh`: git over ssh (including `host:path` syntax,
- `ssh://`, etc).
-
- - `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
- Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want to configure
- both, you must do so individually.
-
- - any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
- `hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper)
---
-
-protocol.version::
- Experimental. If set, clients will attempt to communicate with a
- server using the specified protocol version. If unset, no
- attempt will be made by the client to communicate using a
- particular protocol version, this results in protocol version 0
- being used.
- Supported versions:
-+
---
-
-* `0` - the original wire protocol.
-
-* `1` - the original wire protocol with the addition of a version string
- in the initial response from the server.
-
-* `2` - link:technical/protocol-v2.html[wire protocol version 2].

- For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the URL to
- the proxy to use for that remote. Set to the empty string to
- disable proxying for that remote.
-
-remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod::
- For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the method to use for
- authenticating against the proxy in use (probably set in
- `remote.<name>.proxy`). See `http.proxyAuthMethod`.
-

- The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-push[1]. See
- linkgit:git-push[1].
-
-remote.<name>.mirror::
- If true, pushing to this remote will automatically behave
- as if the `--mirror` option was given on the command line.
-
-remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate::
- If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating
- using linkgit:git-fetch[1] or the `update` subcommand of
- linkgit:git-remote[1].
-
-remote.<name>.skipFetchAll::
- If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating
- using linkgit:git-fetch[1] or the `update` subcommand of

- The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
- option --receive-pack of linkgit:git-push[1].
-
-remote.<name>.uploadpack::
- The default program to execute on the remote side when fetching. See
- option --upload-pack of linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
-
-remote.<name>.tagOpt::
- Setting this value to --no-tags disables automatic tag following when
- fetching from remote <name>. Setting it to --tags will fetch every
- tag from remote <name>, even if they are not reachable from remote
- branch heads. Passing these flags directly to linkgit:git-fetch[1] can
- override this setting. See options --tags and --no-tags of
- linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-remote.<name>.vcs::
- Setting this to a value <vcs> will cause Git to interact with
- the remote with the git-remote-<vcs> helper.
-
-remote.<name>.prune::
- When set to true, fetching from this remote by default will also
- remove any remote-tracking references that no longer exist on the
- remote (as if the `--prune` option was given on the command line).
- Overrides `fetch.prune` settings, if any.
-
-remote.<name>.pruneTags::
- When set to true, fetching from this remote by default will also
- remove any local tags that no longer exist on the remote if pruning
- is activated in general via `remote.<name>.prune`, `fetch.prune` or
- `--prune`. Overrides `fetch.pruneTags` settings, if any.
-+
-See also `remote.<name>.prune` and the PRUNING section of
-linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-remotes.<group>::
- The list of remotes which are fetched by "git remote update
- <group>". See linkgit:git-remote[1].
-
-repack.useDeltaBaseOffset::
- By default, linkgit:git-repack[1] creates packs that use
- delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with
- Git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb
- protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to
- "false" and repack. Access from old Git versions over the
- native protocol are unaffected by this option.
-
-repack.packKeptObjects::
- If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if
- `--pack-kept-objects` was passed. See linkgit:git-repack[1] for
- details. Defaults to `false` normally, but `true` if a bitmap
- index is being written (either via `--write-bitmap-index` or
- `repack.writeBitmaps`).
-
-repack.useDeltaIslands::
- If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if `--delta-islands`
- was passed. Defaults to `false`.
-
-repack.writeBitmaps::
- When true, git will write a bitmap index when packing all
- objects to disk (e.g., when `git repack -a` is run). This
- index can speed up the "counting objects" phase of subsequent
- packs created for clones and fetches, at the cost of some disk
- space and extra time spent on the initial repack. This has
- no effect if multiple packfiles are created.
- Defaults to false.
-
-rerere.autoUpdate::
- When set to true, `git-rerere` updates the index with the
- resulting contents after it cleanly resolves conflicts using
- previously recorded resolution. Defaults to false.
-
-rerere.enabled::
- Activate recording of resolved conflicts, so that identical
- conflict hunks can be resolved automatically, should they be
- encountered again. By default, linkgit:git-rerere[1] is
- enabled if there is an `rr-cache` directory under the
- `$GIT_DIR`, e.g. if "rerere" was previously used in the
- repository.
-
-include::sendemail-config.txt[]
-
-sequence.editor::
- Text editor used by `git rebase -i` for editing the rebase instruction file.
- The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used.
- It can be overridden by the `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` environment variable.
- When not configured the default commit message editor is used instead.
-
-showBranch.default::
- The default set of branches for linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
- See linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
-
-splitIndex.maxPercentChange::
- When the split index feature is used, this specifies the
- percent of entries the split index can contain compared to the
- total number of entries in both the split index and the shared
- index before a new shared index is written.
- The value should be between 0 and 100. If the value is 0 then
- a new shared index is always written, if it is 100 a new
- shared index is never written.
- By default the value is 20, so a new shared index is written
- if the number of entries in the split index would be greater
- than 20 percent of the total number of entries.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
-
-splitIndex.sharedIndexExpire::
- When the split index feature is used, shared index files that
- were not modified since the time this variable specifies will
- be removed when a new shared index file is created. The value
- "now" expires all entries immediately, and "never" suppresses
- expiration altogether.
- The default value is "2.weeks.ago".
- Note that a shared index file is considered modified (for the
- purpose of expiration) each time a new split-index file is
- either created based on it or read from it.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
-
-status.relativePaths::
- By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the
- current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths
- relative to the repository root (this was the default for Git
- prior to v1.5.4).
-
-status.short::
- Set to true to enable --short by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
- The option --no-short takes precedence over this variable.
-
-status.branch::
- Set to true to enable --branch by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
- The option --no-branch takes precedence over this variable.
-
-status.displayCommentPrefix::
- If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will insert a comment
- prefix before each output line (starting with
- `core.commentChar`, i.e. `#` by default). This was the
- behavior of linkgit:git-status[1] in Git 1.8.4 and previous.
- Defaults to false.
-
-status.renameLimit::
- The number of files to consider when performing rename detection
- in linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1]. Defaults to
- the value of diff.renameLimit.
-
-status.renames::
- Whether and how Git detects renames in linkgit:git-status[1] and
- linkgit:git-commit[1] . If set to "false", rename detection is
- disabled. If set to "true", basic rename detection is enabled.
- If set to "copies" or "copy", Git will detect copies, as well.
- Defaults to the value of diff.renames.
-
-status.showStash::
- If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will display the number of
- entries currently stashed away.
- Defaults to false.
-
-status.showUntrackedFiles::
- By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show
- files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which
- contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name
- only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all
- the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some
- systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays
- the untracked files. Possible values are:
-+
---
-* `no` - Show no untracked files.
-* `normal` - Show untracked files and directories.
-* `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories.
---
-+
-If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.
-This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option
-of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].
-
-status.submoduleSummary::
- Defaults to false.
- If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an
- unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
- summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see
- --summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note
- that the summary output command will be suppressed for all
- submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only
- for those submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. The only
- exception to that rule is that status and commit will show staged
- submodule changes. To
- also view the summary for ignored submodules you can either use
- the --ignore-submodules=dirty command-line option or the 'git
- submodule summary' command, which shows a similar output but does
- not honor these settings.
-
-stash.showPatch::
- If this is set to true, the `git stash show` command without an
- option will show the stash entry in patch form. Defaults to false.
- See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
-
-stash.showStat::
- If this is set to true, the `git stash show` command without an
- option will show diffstat of the stash entry. Defaults to true.
- See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
-
-include::submodule-config.txt[]
-
-tag.forceSignAnnotated::
- A boolean to specify whether annotated tags created should be GPG signed.
- If `--annotate` is specified on the command line, it takes
- precedence over this option.
-
-tag.sort::
- This variable controls the sort ordering of tags when displayed by
- linkgit:git-tag[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
- value of this variable will be used as the default.
-
-tar.umask::
- This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
- tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
- world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
- archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) and
- linkgit:git-archive[1].
-
-transfer.fsckObjects::
- When `fetch.fsckObjects` or `receive.fsckObjects` are
- not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
- Defaults to false.
-+
-When set, the fetch or receive will abort in the case of a malformed
-object or a link to a nonexistent object. In addition, various other
-issues are checked for, including legacy issues (see `fsck.<msg-id>`),
-and potential security issues like the existence of a `.GIT` directory
-or a malicious `.gitmodules` file (see the release notes for v2.2.1
-and v2.17.1 for details). Other sanity and security checks may be
-added in future releases.
-+
-On the receiving side, failing fsckObjects will make those objects
-unreachable, see "QUARANTINE ENVIRONMENT" in
-linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. On the fetch side, malformed objects will
-instead be left unreferenced in the repository.
-+
-Due to the non-quarantine nature of the `fetch.fsckObjects`
-implementation it can not be relied upon to leave the object store
-clean like `receive.fsckObjects` can.
-+
-As objects are unpacked they're written to the object store, so there
-can be cases where malicious objects get introduced even though the
-"fetch" failed, only to have a subsequent "fetch" succeed because only
-new incoming objects are checked, not those that have already been
-written to the object store. That difference in behavior should not be
-relied upon. In the future, such objects may be quarantined for
-"fetch" as well.
-+
-For now, the paranoid need to find some way to emulate the quarantine
-environment if they'd like the same protection as "push". E.g. in the
-case of an internal mirror do the mirroring in two steps, one to fetch
-the untrusted objects, and then do a second "push" (which will use the
-quarantine) to another internal repo, and have internal clients
-consume this pushed-to repository, or embargo internal fetches and
-only allow them once a full "fsck" has run (and no new fetches have
-happened in the meantime).
-
-transfer.hideRefs::
- String(s) `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` use to decide which
- refs to omit from their initial advertisements. Use more than
- one definition to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that is
- under the hierarchies listed in the value of this variable is
- excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git push` or `git
- fetch`. See `receive.hideRefs` and `uploadpack.hideRefs` for
- program-specific versions of this config.
-+
-You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry,
-explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden.
-If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones
-(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones).
-+
-If a namespace is in use, the namespace prefix is stripped from each
-reference before it is matched against `transfer.hiderefs` patterns.
-For example, if `refs/heads/master` is specified in `transfer.hideRefs` and
-the current namespace is `foo`, then `refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master`
-is omitted from the advertisements but `refs/heads/master` and
-`refs/namespaces/bar/refs/heads/master` are still advertised as so-called
-"have" lines. In order to match refs before stripping, add a `^` in front of
-the ref name. If you combine `!` and `^`, `!` must be specified first.
-+
-Even if you hide refs, a client may still be able to steal the target
-objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY" section of the
-linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to keep private data in a
-separate repository.
-
-transfer.unpackLimit::
- When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
- not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
- The default value is 100.
-
-uploadarchive.allowUnreachable::
- If true, allow clients to use `git archive --remote` to request
- any tree, whether reachable from the ref tips or not. See the
- discussion in the "SECURITY" section of
- linkgit:git-upload-archive[1] for more details. Defaults to
- `false`.
-
-uploadpack.hideRefs::
- This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
- only to `upload-pack` (and so affects only fetches, not pushes).
- An attempt to fetch a hidden ref by `git fetch` will fail. See
- also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
-
-uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant::
- When `uploadpack.hideRefs` is in effect, allow `upload-pack`
- to accept a fetch request that asks for an object at the tip
- of a hidden ref (by default, such a request is rejected).
- See also `uploadpack.hideRefs`. Even if this is false, a client
- may be able to steal objects via the techniques described in the
- "SECURITY" section of the linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's
- best to keep private data in a separate repository.
-
-uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant::
- Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for an
- object that is reachable from any ref tip. However, note that
- calculating object reachability is computationally expensive.
- Defaults to `false`. Even if this is false, a client may be able
- to steal objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY"
- section of the linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to
- keep private data in a separate repository.
-
-uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant::
- Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for any
- object at all.
- Defaults to `false`.
-
-uploadpack.keepAlive::
- When `upload-pack` has started `pack-objects`, there may be a
- quiet period while `pack-objects` prepares the pack. Normally
- it would output progress information, but if `--quiet` was used
- for the fetch, `pack-objects` will output nothing at all until
- the pack data begins. Some clients and networks may consider
- the server to be hung and give up. Setting this option instructs
- `upload-pack` to send an empty keepalive packet every
- `uploadpack.keepAlive` seconds. Setting this option to 0
- disables keepalive packets entirely. The default is 5 seconds.
-
-uploadpack.packObjectsHook::
- If this option is set, when `upload-pack` would run
- `git pack-objects` to create a packfile for a client, it will
- run this shell command instead. The `pack-objects` command and
- arguments it _would_ have run (including the `git pack-objects`
- at the beginning) are appended to the shell command. The stdin
- and stdout of the hook are treated as if `pack-objects` itself
- was run. I.e., `upload-pack` will feed input intended for
- `pack-objects` to the hook, and expects a completed packfile on
- stdout.
-+
-Note that this configuration variable is ignored if it is seen in the
-repository-level config (this is a safety measure against fetching from
-untrusted repositories).
-
-uploadpack.allowFilter::
- If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
- clone and partial fetch object filtering.
-
-uploadpack.allowRefInWant::
- If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support the `ref-in-want`
- feature of the protocol version 2 `fetch` command. This feature
- is intended for the benefit of load-balanced servers which may
- not have the same view of what OIDs their refs point to due to
- replication delay.
-
-url.<base>.insteadOf::
- Any URL that starts with this value will be rewritten to
- start, instead, with <base>. In cases where some site serves a
- large number of repositories, and serves them with multiple
- access methods, and some users need to use different access
- methods, this feature allows people to specify any of the
- equivalent URLs and have Git automatically rewrite the URL to
- the best alternative for the particular user, even for a
- never-before-seen repository on the site. When more than one
- insteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is used.
-+
-Note that any protocol restrictions will be applied to the rewritten
-URL. If the rewrite changes the URL to use a custom protocol or remote
-helper, you may need to adjust the `protocol.*.allow` config to permit
-the request. In particular, protocols you expect to use for submodules
-must be set to `always` rather than the default of `user`. See the
-description of `protocol.allow` above.
-
-url.<base>.pushInsteadOf::
- Any URL that starts with this value will not be pushed to;
- instead, it will be rewritten to start with <base>, and the
- resulting URL will be pushed to. In cases where some site serves
- a large number of repositories, and serves them with multiple
- access methods, some of which do not allow push, this feature
- allows people to specify a pull-only URL and have Git
- automatically use an appropriate URL to push, even for a
- never-before-seen repository on the site. When more than one
- pushInsteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is
- used. If a remote has an explicit pushurl, Git will ignore this
- setting for that remote.
-
-user.email::
- Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
- Can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL`, `GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL`, and
- `EMAIL` environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
-
-user.name::
- Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits.
- Can be overridden by the `GIT_AUTHOR_NAME` and `GIT_COMMITTER_NAME`
- environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
-
-user.useConfigOnly::
- Instruct Git to avoid trying to guess defaults for `user.email`
- and `user.name`, and instead retrieve the values only from the
- configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses
- and would like to use a different one for each repository, then
- with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config
- along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before
- making new commits in a newly cloned repository.
- Defaults to `false`.
-
-user.signingKey::
- If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
- key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
- commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
- This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
- so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
-
-versionsort.prereleaseSuffix (deprecated)::
- Deprecated alias for `versionsort.suffix`. Ignored if
- `versionsort.suffix` is set.
-
-versionsort.suffix::
- Even when version sort is used in linkgit:git-tag[1], tagnames
- with the same base version but different suffixes are still sorted
- lexicographically, resulting e.g. in prerelease tags appearing
- after the main release (e.g. "1.0-rc1" after "1.0"). This
- variable can be specified to determine the sorting order of tags
- with different suffixes.
-+
-By specifying a single suffix in this variable, any tagname containing
-that suffix will appear before the corresponding main release. E.g. if
-the variable is set to "-rc", then all "1.0-rcX" tags will appear before
-"1.0". If specified multiple times, once per suffix, then the order of
-suffixes in the configuration will determine the sorting order of tagnames
-with those suffixes. E.g. if "-pre" appears before "-rc" in the
-configuration, then all "1.0-preX" tags will be listed before any
-"1.0-rcX" tags. The placement of the main release tag relative to tags
-with various suffixes can be determined by specifying the empty suffix
-among those other suffixes. E.g. if the suffixes "-rc", "", "-ck" and
-"-bfs" appear in the configuration in this order, then all "v4.8-rcX" tags
-are listed first, followed by "v4.8", then "v4.8-ckX" and finally
-"v4.8-bfsX".
-+
-If more than one suffixes match the same tagname, then that tagname will
-be sorted according to the suffix which starts at the earliest position in
-the tagname. If more than one different matching suffixes start at
-that earliest position, then that tagname will be sorted according to the
-longest of those suffixes.
-The sorting order between different suffixes is undefined if they are
-in multiple config files.
-
-web.browser::
- Specify a web browser that may be used by some commands.
- Currently only linkgit:git-instaweb[1] and linkgit:git-help[1]
- may use it.
-
-worktree.guessRemote::
- With `add`, if no branch argument, and neither of `-b` nor
- `-B` nor `--detach` are given, the command defaults to
- creating a new branch from HEAD. If `worktree.guessRemote` is
- set to true, `worktree add` tries to find a remote-tracking
- branch whose name uniquely matches the new branch name. If
- such a branch exists, it is checked out and set as "upstream"
- for the new branch. If no such match can be found, it falls
- back to creating a new branch from the current HEAD.

+ Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches

+ this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`

+ starting point is a remote-tracking branch; `always` --
+ automatic setup is done when the starting point is either a
+ local branch or remote-tracking
+ branch. This option defaults to true.
+
+branch.autoSetupRebase::
+ When a new branch is created with 'git branch' or 'git checkout'
+ that tracks another branch, this variable tells Git to set
+ up pull to rebase instead of merge (see "branch.<name>.rebase").
+ When `never`, rebase is never automatically set to true.
+ When `local`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
+ other local branches.
+ When `remote`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
+ remote-tracking branches.
+ When `always`, rebase will be set to true for all tracking
+ branches.
+ See "branch.autoSetupMerge" for details on how to set up a

+ This variable controls the sort ordering of branches when displayed by
+ linkgit:git-branch[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
+ value of this variable will be used as the default.
+ See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] field names for valid values.
+
+branch.<name>.remote::
+ When on branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' and 'git push'
+ which remote to fetch from/push to. The remote to push to
+ may be overridden with `remote.pushDefault` (for all branches).
+ The remote to push to, for the current branch, may be further
+ overridden by `branch.<name>.pushRemote`. If no remote is
+ configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
+ `origin` for fetching and `remote.pushDefault` for pushing.
+ Additionally, `.` (a period) is the current local repository
+ (a dot-repository), see `branch.<name>.merge`'s final note below.
+
+branch.<name>.pushRemote::
+ When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for
+ pushing. It also overrides `remote.pushDefault` for pushing
+ from branch <name>. When you pull from one place (e.g. your
+ upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own publishing
+ repository), you would want to set `remote.pushDefault` to
+ specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this
+ option to override it for a specific branch.
+
+branch.<name>.merge::
+ Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
+ for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull'/'git rebase' which
+ branch to merge and can also affect 'git push' (see push.default).
+ When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
+ refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
+ handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
+ ref which is fetched from the remote given by
+ "branch.<name>.remote".
+ The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
+ 'git fetch') to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
+ this option, 'git pull' defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
+ Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
+ If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from
+ another branch in the local repository, you can point
+ branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the relative path
+ setting `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+
+branch.<name>.mergeOptions::
+ Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and
+ supported options are the same as those of linkgit:git-merge[1], but
+ option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
+ supported.
+
+branch.<name>.rebase::
+ When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
+ instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when
+ "git pull" is run. See "pull.rebase" for doing this in a non
+ branch-specific manner.
++
+When `merges`, pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase'
+so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see
+linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details).
++
+When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
+so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
+by running 'git pull'.
++
+When the value is `interactive`, the rebase is run in interactive mode.
++
+*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
+it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
+for details).
+
+branch.<name>.description::
+ Branch description, can be edited with
+ `git branch --edit-description`. Branch description is
+ automatically added in the format-patch cover letter or

+core.fileMode::
+ Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
+ is to be honored.

+marked as executable is checked out, or checks out a
+non-executable file with executable bit on.
+linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
+to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
+and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
++
+A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
+the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
+when created, but later may be made accessible from another
+environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
+CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
+Git for Windows or Eclipse).
+In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
+See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
++
+The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
+
+core.hideDotFiles::
+ (Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose
+ name starts with a dot as hidden. If 'dotGitOnly', only the `.git/`
+ directory is hidden, but no other files starting with a dot. The
+ default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
+
+core.ignoreCase::
+ Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
+ Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
+ like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
+ finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
+ it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
+ "Makefile".
++
+The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
+will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
+is created.
++
+Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
+and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
+
+core.precomposeUnicode::
+ This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
+ When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
+ of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
+ between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
+ (Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
+ When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
+ which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
+
+core.protectHFS::
+ If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
+ be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
+ Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
+
+core.protectNTFS::
+ If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
+ cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
+ 8.3 "short" names.
+ Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
+
+core.fsmonitor::
+ If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
+ will identify all files that may have changed since the
+ requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
+ avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
+ See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
+
+core.trustctime::
+ If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
+ working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
+ is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
+ crawlers and some backup systems).
+ See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
+
+core.splitIndex::
+ If true, the split-index feature of the index will be used.
+ See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. False by default.
+
+core.untrackedCache::
+ Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the
+ index. It will be kept, if this variable is unset or set to
+ `keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
+ it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
+ setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
+ properly on your system.
+ See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
+
+core.checkStat::
+ When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
+ structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
+ since Git looked at it. When this configuration variable is
+ set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
+ uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
+ the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
+ excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
+ whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
+ is set) and the filesize to be checked.
++
+There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
+some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
+comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
+same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
+
+core.quotePath::
+ Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
+ quote "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
+ pathname in double-quotes and escaping those characters with
+ backslashes in the same way C escapes control characters (e.g.
+ `\t` for TAB, `\n` for LF, `\\` for backslash) or bytes with
+ values larger than 0x80 (e.g. octal `\302\265` for "micro" in
+ UTF-8). If this variable is set to false, bytes higher than
+ 0x80 are not considered "unusual" any more. Double-quotes,
+ backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
+ of the setting of this variable. A simple space character is
+ not considered "unusual". Many commands can output pathnames
+ completely verbatim using the `-z` option. The default value
+ is true.
+
+core.eol::
+ Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
+ files that have the `text` property set when core.autocrlf is false.
+ Alternatives are 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's
+ native line ending. The default value is `native`. See
+ linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
+ conversion.
+
+core.safecrlf::
+ If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
+ end-of-line conversion is active. Git will verify if a command
+ modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
+ For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
+ same file should yield the original file in the work tree. If
+ this is not the case for the current setting of
+ `core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file. The variable can
+ be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
+ irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
++
+CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
+When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
+CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
+CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git. For text
+files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
+such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
+But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
+conversion can corrupt data.
++
+If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
+setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
+after committing you still have the original file in your work
+tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
+Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
+appropriately.
++
+Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
+mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
+files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
+in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
+to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
+converting CRLFs corrupts data.
++
+Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
+file identical to the original file for a different setting of
+`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one. For
+example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
+and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
+resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
+contained `LF`. However, in both work trees the line endings would be
+consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed. A
+file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
+mechanism.
+
+core.autocrlf::
+ Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
+ the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
+ Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
+ working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
+ This variable can be set to 'input',
+ in which case no output conversion is performed.
+
+core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
+ A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
+ performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
+ `working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
+ The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
+
+core.symlinks::
+ If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
+ contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
+ linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
+ file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
+ symbolic links.
++
+The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
+will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
+is created.
+
+core.gitProxy::
+ A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
+ of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
+ using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
+ in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
+ on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
+ may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
+ the first match wins.
++
+Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
+(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
+handling).
++
+The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
+specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
+This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
+proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
+
+core.sshCommand::
+ If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
+ use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
+ connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
+ the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
+ when the environment variable is set.
+
+core.ignoreStat::
+ If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
+ changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
+ which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
++
+When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
+the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
+linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
+Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
++
+This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
+CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
++
+False by default.
+
+core.preferSymlinkRefs::
+ Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
+ and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
+ This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
+ expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
+
+core.alternateRefsCommand::
+ When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
+ execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
+ first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
+ hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produced by `git for-each-ref
+ --format='%(objectname)'`).
++
+Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
+value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
+the command above in a shell script).
+
+core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
+ When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
+ with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
+ linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with
+ whitespace. If `core.alternateRefsCommand` is set, setting
+ `core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
+
+core.bare::
+ If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
+ working directory associated with it. If this is the case a
+ number of commands that require a working directory will be
+ disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
++
+This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
+linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created. By default a
+repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
+false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
+= true).
+
+core.worktree::
+ Set the path to the root of the working tree.
+ If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
+ is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
+ This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
+ variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
+ The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
+ the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
+ or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
+ If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
+ --work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
+ the current working directory is regarded as the top level
+ of your working tree.
++
+Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
+file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
+from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
+core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
+misconfiguration. Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
+still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
+confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
+read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
+repository's usual working tree).
+
+core.logAllRefUpdates::
+ Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
+ "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
+ SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
+ only when the file exists. If this configuration
+ variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
+ file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
+ `refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
+ note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
+ If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
+ created for any ref under `refs/`.
++
+This information can be used to determine what commit
+was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
++
+This value is true by default in a repository that has
+a working directory associated with it, and false by
+default in a bare repository.
+
+core.repositoryFormatVersion::
+ Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
+ version.
+
+core.sharedRepository::
+ When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
+ several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
+ group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
+ repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
+ group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
+ reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
+ files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
+ user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
+ requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
+ the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
+ others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
+ repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
+ See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
+
+core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
+ If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
+ and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
+
+core.compression::
+ An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
+ -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
+ and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
+ If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
+ such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
+
+core.looseCompression::
+ An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
+ are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
+ compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
+ slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
+ not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
+
+core.packedGitWindowSize::
+ Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
+ single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
+ your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
+ more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
+ performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
+ memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
+ a large number of large pack files.
++
+Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
+MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
+be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
+not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.packedGitLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
+ from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
+ bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
+ regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
++
+Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 32 TiB (effectively
+unlimited) on 64 bit platforms.
+This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
+the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
+ that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects. By storing the
+ entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
+ to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
+ objects multiple times.
++
+Default is 96 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
+You probably do not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.bigFileThreshold::
+ Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
+ attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
+ delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
+ slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
+ larger than this size are always treated as binary.
++
+Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for most projects as source code and other text files can still
+be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.excludesFile::
+ Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
+ describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
+ to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and '.git/info/exclude'.
+ Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
+ If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
+ is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
+
+core.askPass::
+ Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
+ ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
+ via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
+ environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
+ `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
+ prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
+ command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
+
+core.attributesFile::
+ In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
+ '.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
+ (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
+ way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
+ `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not
+ set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/attributes` is used instead.
+
+core.hooksPath::
+ By default Git will look for your hooks in the
+ '$GIT_DIR/hooks' directory. Set this to different path,
+ e.g. '/etc/git/hooks', and Git will try to find your hooks in
+ that directory, e.g. '/etc/git/hooks/pre-receive' instead of
+ in '$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive'.
++
+The path can be either absolute or relative. A relative path is
+taken as relative to the directory where the hooks are run (see
+the "DESCRIPTION" section of linkgit:githooks[5]).
++
+This configuration variable is useful in cases where you'd like to
+centrally configure your Git hooks instead of configuring them on a
+per-repository basis, or as a more flexible and centralized
+alternative to having an `init.templateDir` where you've changed
+default hooks.
+
+core.editor::
+ Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
+ messages by launching an editor use the value of this
+ variable when it is set, and the environment variable
+ `GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
+
+core.commentChar::
+ Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
+ messages consider a line that begins with this character
+ commented, and removes them after the editor returns
+ (default '#').
++
+If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
+the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
+
+core.filesRefLockTimeout::
+ The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
+ lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
+ all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
+ retry for 100ms).
+
+core.packedRefsTimeout::
+ The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
+ lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
+ all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
+ retry for 1 second).
+
+core.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').
++
+When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
+(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
+all). If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
+for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`. This will
+be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
+command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
+`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
+long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
+deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
+command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
+`less`. One can specifically activate some flags for particular
+commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
+line truncation only for `git blame`.
++
+Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
+to `-c`. You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
+another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
+
+core.whitespace::
+ A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
+ notice. 'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
+ highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
+ consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
+ any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
++
+* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
+ as an error (enabled by default).
+* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
+ before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
+ error (enabled by default).
+* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
+ characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
+ default).
+* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
+ the line as an error (not enabled by default).
+* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
+ (enabled by default).
+* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
+ `blank-at-eof`.
+* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
+ part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
+ does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
+ is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
+* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
+ is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
+ errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
+
+core.fsyncObjectFiles::
+ This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
++
+This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
+data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
+journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
+and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
+
+core.preloadIndex::
+ Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
++
+This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
+on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
+relatively high IO latencies. When enabled, Git will do the
+index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
+overlapping IO's. Defaults to true.
+
+core.createObject::
+ You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
+ a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
+ will not overwrite existing objects.
++
+On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
+Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
+check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
+
+core.notesRef::
+ When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
+ the given ref. The ref must be fully qualified. If the given
+ ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
+ notes should be printed.
++
+This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
+the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
+
+core.commitGraph::
+ If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
+ to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to false. See
+ linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
+
+core.useReplaceRefs::
+ If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
+ option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
+ linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
+
+core.multiPackIndex::
+ Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
+ single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
+ multi-pack-index design document].
+
+core.sparseCheckout::
+ Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
+ linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
+
+core.abbrev::
+ Set the length object names are abbreviated to. If
+ unspecified or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
+ computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
+ in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
+ abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
+ The minimum length is 4.

+ wouldn't be generated by current versions of git, and which
+ wouldn't be sent over the wire if `transfer.fsckObjects` was
+ set. This feature is intended to support working with legacy
+ repositories containing such data.
++
+Setting `fsck.<msg-id>` will be picked up by linkgit:git-fsck[1], but
+to accept pushes of such data set `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` instead, or
+to clone or fetch it set `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`.
++
+The rest of the documentation discusses `fsck.*` for brevity, but the
+same applies for the corresponding `receive.fsck.*` and
+`fetch.<msg-id>.*`. variables.
++
+Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
+`receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>` variables will not
+fall back on the `fsck.<msg-id>` configuration if they aren't set. To
+uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
+all three of them they must all set to the same values.
++
+When `fsck.<msg-id>` is set, errors can be switched to warnings and
+vice versa by configuring the `fsck.<msg-id>` setting where the
+`<msg-id>` is the fsck message ID and the value is one of `error`,
+`warn` or `ignore`. For convenience, fsck prefixes the error/warning
+with the message ID, e.g. "missingEmail: invalid author/committer line
+- missing email" means that setting `fsck.missingEmail = ignore` will
+hide that issue.
++
+In general, it is better to enumerate existing objects with problems
+with `fsck.skipList`, instead of listing the kind of breakages these
+problematic objects share to be ignored, as doing the latter will
+allow new instances of the same breakages go unnoticed.
++
+Setting an unknown `fsck.<msg-id>` value will cause fsck to die, but
+doing the same for `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`
+will only cause git to warn.
+
+fsck.skipList::
+ The path to a list of object names (i.e. one unabbreviated SHA-1 per
+ line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should
+ be ignored. On versions of Git 2.20 and later comments ('#'), empty
+ lines, and any leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Everything
+ but a SHA-1 per line will error out on older versions.
++
+This feature is useful when an established project should be accepted
+despite early commits containing errors that can be safely ignored
+such as invalid committer email addresses. Note: corrupt objects
+cannot be skipped with this setting.
++
+Like `fsck.<msg-id>` this variable has corresponding
+`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variants.
++
+Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
+`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variables will not
+fall back on the `fsck.skipList` configuration if they aren't set. To
+uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
+all three of them they must all set to the same values.
++
+Older versions of Git (before 2.20) documented that the object names
+list should be sorted. This was never a requirement, the object names
+could appear in any order, but when reading the list we tracked whether
+the list was sorted for the purposes of an internal binary search
+implementation, which could save itself some work with an already sorted
+list. Unless you had a humongous list there was no reason to go out of
+your way to pre-sort the list. After Git version 2.20 a hash implementation
+is used instead, so there's now no reason to pre-sort the list.

+
+gc.autoPackLimit::
+ When there are more than this many packs that are not

+ if the system supports it. Default is true.
+
+gc.bigPackThreshold::
+ If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when
+ `git gc` is run. This is very similar to `--keep-base-pack`
+ except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
+ just the base pack. Defaults to zero. Common unit suffixes of

++
+Note that if the number of kept packs is more than gc.autoPackLimit,
+this configuration variable is ignored, all packs except the base pack
+will be repacked. After this the number of packs should go below
+gc.autoPackLimit and gc.bigPackThreshold should be respected again.
+
+gc.writeCommitGraph::
+ If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
+ linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using linkgit:git-gc[1]
+ '--auto' the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
+ required. Default is false. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]

+ unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old. Default is
+ "1.day". See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
+ value.
+
+gc.packRefs::
+ Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
+ unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
+ transports such as HTTP. This variable determines whether
+ 'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`

+ boolean value. The default is `true`.
+
+gc.pruneExpire::
+ When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
+ Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
+ "now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
+ unreachable objects immediately, or "never" may be used to
+ suppress pruning. This feature helps prevent corruption when
+ 'git gc' runs concurrently with another process writing to the
+ repository; see the "NOTES" section of linkgit:git-gc[1].
+
+gc.worktreePruneExpire::
+ When 'git gc' is run, it calls
+ 'git worktree prune --expire 3.months.ago'.
+ This config variable can be used to set a different grace

+ may be used to suppress pruning.
+
+gc.reflogExpire::
+gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
+ 'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than

+ altogether. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
+ "refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
+ the refs that match the <pattern>.
+
+gc.reflogExpireUnreachable::

+http.proxy::
+ Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
+ 'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
+ addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
+ proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
+ attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
+ linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
+ '[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port]'. This can be overridden
+ on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
+
+http.proxyAuthMethod::
+ Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
+ only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
+ (i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
+ overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
+ Both can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD` environment
+ variable. Possible values are:
++
+--
+* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
+ assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
+ status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
+ authentication methods. This is the default.
+* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
+* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
+ transmitted to the proxy in clear text
+* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
+ of `curl(1)`)
+* `ntlm` - NTLM authentication (compare the --ntlm option of `curl(1)`)
+--
+
+http.emptyAuth::
+ Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password. This
+ can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying
+ a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
+ authentication.
+
+http.delegation::
+ Control GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled
+ by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7. Set parameter to tell
+ the server what it is allowed to delegate when it comes to user
+ credentials. Used with GSS/kerberos. Possible values are:
++
+--
+* `none` - Don't allow any delegation.
+* `policy` - Delegates if and only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the
+ Kerberos service ticket, which is a matter of realm policy.
+* `always` - Unconditionally allow the server to delegate.
+--
+
+
+http.extraHeader::
+ Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server. If
+ more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
+ headers. To allow overriding the settings inherited from the system
+ config, an empty value will reset the extra headers to the empty list.
+
+http.cookieFile::
+ The pathname of a file containing previously stored cookie lines,
+ which should be used
+ in the Git http session, if they match the server. The file format
+ of the file to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers or
+ the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see `curl(1)`).
+ NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is used only as
+ input unless http.saveCookies is set.
+
+http.saveCookies::
+ If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
+ http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset.
+
+http.sslVersion::
+ The SSL version to use when negotiating an SSL connection, if you
+ want to force the default. The available and default version
+ depend on whether libcurl was built against NSS or OpenSSL and the
+ particular configuration of the crypto library in use. Internally
+ this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_VERSION' option; see the libcurl
+ documentation for more details on the format of this option and
+ for the ssl version supported. Actually the possible values of
+ this option are:
+
+ - sslv2
+ - sslv3
+ - tlsv1
+ - tlsv1.0
+ - tlsv1.1
+ - tlsv1.2
+ - tlsv1.3
+
++
+Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_VERSION` environment variable.
+To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
+explicit http.sslversion option, set `GIT_SSL_VERSION` to the
+empty string.
+
+http.sslCipherList::
+ A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
+ The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
+ NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto
+ library in use. Internally this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST'
+ option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
+ of this list.
++
+Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` environment variable.
+To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
+explicit http.sslCipherList option, set `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` to the
+empty string.
+
+http.sslVerify::
+ Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
+ over HTTPS. Defaults to true. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable.
+
+http.sslCert::
+ File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
+ over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CERT` environment
+ variable.
+
+http.sslKey::
+ File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing
+ over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_KEY` environment
+ variable.
+
+http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
+ Enable Git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
+ OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
+ certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED` environment variable.
+
+http.sslCAInfo::
+ File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
+ fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
+
+http.sslCAPath::
+ Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer
+ with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
+ by the `GIT_SSL_CAPATH` environment variable.
+
+http.sslBackend::
+ Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
+ This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
+ backend at runtime.
+
+http.schannelCheckRevoke::
+ Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
+ when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
+ unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
+ and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
+ certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
+ setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
+
+http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
+ As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
+ certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
+ override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
+ by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
+ when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
+ unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
+
+http.pinnedpubkey::
+ Public key of the https service. It may either be the filename of
+ a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with
+ 'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the
+ public key. See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'. git will
+ exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by
+ cURL.
+
+http.sslTry::
+ Attempt to use AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers
+ when connecting via regular FTP protocol. This might be needed
+ if the FTP server requires it for security reasons or you wish
+ to connect securely whenever remote FTP server supports it.
+ Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification
+ errors on misconfigured servers.
+
+http.maxRequests::
+ How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
+ by the `GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS` environment variable. Default is 5.
+
+http.minSessions::
+ The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
+ requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
+ http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
+ value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
+
+http.postBuffer::
+ Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
+ transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
+ For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and
+ Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a
+ massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is
+ sufficient for most requests.
+
+http.lowSpeedLimit, http.lowSpeedTime::
+ If the HTTP transfer speed is less than 'http.lowSpeedLimit'
+ for longer than 'http.lowSpeedTime' seconds, the transfer is aborted.
+ Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT` and
+ `GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_TIME` environment variables.
+
+http.noEPSV::
+ A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
+ This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which don't
+ support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the `GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV`
+ environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
+
+http.userAgent::
+ The HTTP USER_AGENT string presented to an HTTP server. The default
+ value represents the version of the client Git such as git/1.7.1.
+ This option allows you to override this value to a more common value
+ such as Mozilla/4.0. This may be necessary, for instance, if
+ connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set
+ of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1).
+ Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable.
+
+http.followRedirects::
+ Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git
+ will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it
+ encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as
+ errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for
+ the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent
+ follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as
+ the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally
+ sufficient. The default is `initial`.
+
+http.<url>.*::
+ Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
+ For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
+ compared to that of the URL, in the following order:
++
+--
+. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
+ must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
+
+. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
+ This field must match between the config key and the URL. It is
+ possible to specify a `*` as part of the host name to match all subdomains
+ at this level. `https://*.example.com/` for example would match
+ `https://foo.example.com/`, but not `https://foo.bar.example.com/`.
+
+. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`).
+ This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
+ Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
+ default for the scheme before matching.
+
+. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
+ path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL
+ either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means
+ a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only
+ match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config
+ key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
+ key with just path `foo/`).
+
+. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`). If
+ the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the
+ URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that
+ config key will match a URL with any user name (including none),
+ but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name.

+The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
+a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example,
+if the URL is `https://user@example.com/foo/bar` a config key match of
+`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of
+`https://user@example.com`.
++
+All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part,
+if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that
+equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly.
+Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are
+matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs
+visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching.

+
+pack.islandCore::
+ Specify an island name which gets to have its objects be
+ packed first. This creates a kind of pseudo-pack at the front
+ of one pack, so that the objects from the specified island are
+ hopefully faster to copy into any pack that should be served
+ to a user requesting these objects. In practice this means
+ that the island specified should likely correspond to what is
+ the most commonly cloned in the repo. See also "DELTA ISLANDS"
+ in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
+
+pack.deltaCacheSize::
+ The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] before writing them out to a pack.
+ This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not
+ having to recompute the final delta result once the best match
+ for all objects is found. Repacking large repositories on machines
+ which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though,
+ especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping.
+ A value of 0 means no limit. The smallest size of 1 byte may be
+ used to virtually disable this cache. Defaults to 256 MiB.
+
+pack.deltaCacheLimit::
+ The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. This cache is used to speed up the
+ writing object phase by not having to recompute the final delta
+ result once the best match for all objects is found.
+ Defaults to 1000. Maximum value is 65535.
+
+pack.threads::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
+ delta matches. This requires that linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
+ be compiled with pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a
+ warning. This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
+ machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window
+ is however multiplied by the number of threads.
+ Specifying 0 will cause Git to auto-detect the number of CPU's
+ and set the number of threads accordingly.
+
+pack.indexVersion::
+ Specify the default pack index version. Valid values are 1 for
+ legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
+ the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB
+ as well as proper protection against the repacking of corrupted
+ packs. Version 2 is the default. Note that version 2 is enforced
+ and this config option ignored whenever the corresponding pack is
+ larger than 2 GB.
++
+If you have an old Git that does not understand the version 2 `*.idx` file,
+cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http")
+that will copy both `*.pack` file and corresponding `*.idx` file from the
+other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
+older version of Git. If the `*.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
+you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
+the `*.idx` file.
+
+pack.packSizeLimit::
+ The maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects
+ packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol
+ is unaffected. It can be overridden by the `--max-pack-size`
+ option of linkgit:git-repack[1]. Reaching this limit results
+ in the creation of multiple packfiles; which in turn prevents
+ bitmaps from being created.
+ The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB.
+ The default is unlimited.
+ Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
+ supported.
+
+pack.useBitmaps::
+ When true, git will use pack bitmaps (if available) when packing
+ to stdout (e.g., during the server side of a fetch). Defaults to
+ true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
+ you are debugging pack bitmaps.
+
+pack.writeBitmaps (deprecated)::
+ This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
+
+pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
+ When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap
+ index (if one is written). This cache can be used to feed git's
+ delta heuristics, potentially leading to better deltas between
+ bitmapped and non-bitmapped objects (e.g., when serving a fetch
+ between an older, bitmapped pack and objects that have been
+ pushed since the last gc). The downside is that it consumes 4
+ bytes per object of disk space, and that JGit's bitmap
+ implementation does not understand it, causing it to complain if
+ Git and JGit are used on the same repository. Defaults to false.

+transfer.fsckObjects::
+ When `fetch.fsckObjects` or `receive.fsckObjects` are
+ not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
+ Defaults to false.
++
+When set, the fetch or receive will abort in the case of a malformed
+object or a link to a nonexistent object. In addition, various other
+issues are checked for, including legacy issues (see `fsck.<msg-id>`),
+and potential security issues like the existence of a `.GIT` directory
+or a malicious `.gitmodules` file (see the release notes for v2.2.1
+and v2.17.1 for details). Other sanity and security checks may be
+added in future releases.
++
+On the receiving side, failing fsckObjects will make those objects
+unreachable, see "QUARANTINE ENVIRONMENT" in
+linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. On the fetch side, malformed objects will
+instead be left unreferenced in the repository.
++
+Due to the non-quarantine nature of the `fetch.fsckObjects`
+implementation it can not be relied upon to leave the object store
+clean like `receive.fsckObjects` can.
++
+As objects are unpacked they're written to the object store, so there
+can be cases where malicious objects get introduced even though the
+"fetch" failed, only to have a subsequent "fetch" succeed because only
+new incoming objects are checked, not those that have already been
+written to the object store. That difference in behavior should not be
+relied upon. In the future, such objects may be quarantined for
+"fetch" as well.
++
+For now, the paranoid need to find some way to emulate the quarantine
+environment if they'd like the same protection as "push". E.g. in the
+case of an internal mirror do the mirroring in two steps, one to fetch
+the untrusted objects, and then do a second "push" (which will use the
+quarantine) to another internal repo, and have internal clients
+consume this pushed-to repository, or embargo internal fetches and
+only allow them once a full "fsck" has run (and no new fetches have
+happened in the meantime).
+
+transfer.hideRefs::
+ String(s) `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` use to decide which
+ refs to omit from their initial advertisements. Use more than
+ one definition to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that is

+ excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git push` or `git
+ fetch`. See `receive.hideRefs` and `uploadpack.hideRefs` for
+ program-specific versions of this config.
++
+You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry,
+explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden.
+If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones
+(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones).
++
+If a namespace is in use, the namespace prefix is stripped from each
+reference before it is matched against `transfer.hiderefs` patterns.
+For example, if `refs/heads/master` is specified in `transfer.hideRefs` and
+the current namespace is `foo`, then `refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master`
+is omitted from the advertisements but `refs/heads/master` and
+`refs/namespaces/bar/refs/heads/master` are still advertised as so-called
+"have" lines. In order to match refs before stripping, add a `^` in front of
+the ref name. If you combine `!` and `^`, `!` must be specified first.
++
+Even if you hide refs, a client may still be able to steal the target
+objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY" section of the
+linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to keep private data in a

+ configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses
+ and would like to use a different one for each repository, then
+ with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config
+ along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before
+ making new commits in a newly cloned repository.
+ Defaults to `false`.
+
+user.signingKey::
+ If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
+ key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
+ commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
+ This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
+ so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.

+versionsort.prereleaseSuffix (deprecated)::
+ Deprecated alias for `versionsort.suffix`. Ignored if
+ `versionsort.suffix` is set.
+
+versionsort.suffix::
+ Even when version sort is used in linkgit:git-tag[1], tagnames
+ with the same base version but different suffixes are still sorted
+ lexicographically, resulting e.g. in prerelease tags appearing
+ after the main release (e.g. "1.0-rc1" after "1.0"). This
+ variable can be specified to determine the sorting order of tags
+ with different suffixes.
++
+By specifying a single suffix in this variable, any tagname containing
+that suffix will appear before the corresponding main release. E.g. if
+the variable is set to "-rc", then all "1.0-rcX" tags will appear before
+"1.0". If specified multiple times, once per suffix, then the order of
+suffixes in the configuration will determine the sorting order of tagnames
+with those suffixes. E.g. if "-pre" appears before "-rc" in the
+configuration, then all "1.0-preX" tags will be listed before any
+"1.0-rcX" tags. The placement of the main release tag relative to tags
+with various suffixes can be determined by specifying the empty suffix
+among those other suffixes. E.g. if the suffixes "-rc", "", "-ck" and
+"-bfs" appear in the configuration in this order, then all "v4.8-rcX" tags
+are listed first, followed by "v4.8", then "v4.8-ckX" and finally
+"v4.8-bfsX".
++
+If more than one suffixes match the same tagname, then that tagname will
+be sorted according to the suffix which starts at the earliest position in
+the tagname. If more than one different matching suffixes start at
+that earliest position, then that tagname will be sorted according to the
+longest of those suffixes.
+The sorting order between different suffixes is undefined if they are
+in multiple config files.

Variables
~~~~~~~~~
-imap.folder::
- The folder to drop the mails into, which is typically the Drafts
- folder. For example: "INBOX.Drafts", "INBOX/Drafts" or
- "[Gmail]/Drafts". Required.
-
-imap.tunnel::
- Command used to setup a tunnel to the IMAP server through which
- commands will be piped instead of using a direct network connection
- to the server. Required when imap.host is not set.
-
-imap.host::
- A URL identifying the server. Use an `imap://` prefix for non-secure
- connections and an `imaps://` prefix for secure connections.
- Ignored when imap.tunnel is set, but required otherwise.
-
-imap.user::
- The username to use when logging in to the server.
-
-imap.pass::
- The password to use when logging in to the server.
-
-imap.port::
- An integer port number to connect to on the server.
- Defaults to 143 for imap:// hosts and 993 for imaps:// hosts.
- Ignored when imap.tunnel is set.
-
-imap.sslverify::
- A boolean to enable/disable verification of the server certificate
- used by the SSL/TLS connection. Default is `true`. Ignored when
- imap.tunnel is set.
-
-imap.preformattedHTML::
- A boolean to enable/disable the use of html encoding when sending
- a patch. An html encoded patch will be bracketed with <pre>
- and have a content type of text/html. Ironically, enabling this
- option causes Thunderbird to send the patch as a plain/text,
- format=fixed email. Default is `false`.
-
-imap.authMethod::
- Specify authenticate method for authentication with IMAP server.
- If Git was built with the NO_CURL option, or if your curl version is older
- than 7.34.0, or if you're running git-imap-send with the `--no-curl`
- option, the only supported method is 'CRAM-MD5'. If this is not set
- then 'git imap-send' uses the basic IMAP plaintext LOGIN command.
