   1receive.advertiseAtomic::
   2        By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
   3        capability to its clients. If you don't want to advertise this
   4        capability, set this variable to false.
   5
   6receive.advertisePushOptions::
   7        When set to true, git-receive-pack will advertise the push options
   8        capability to its clients. False by default.
   9
  10receive.autogc::
  11        By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
  12        receiving data from git-push and updating refs.  You can stop
  13        it by setting this variable to false.
  14
  15receive.certNonceSeed::
  16        By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
  17        will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
  18        a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
  19        key.
  20
  21receive.certNonceSlop::
  22        When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
  23        "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
  24        repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
  25        found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
  26        hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
  27        side to include).  This may allow writing checks in
  28        `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier.  Instead of
  29        checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
  30        that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
  31        decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
  32        can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
  33
  34receive.fsckObjects::
  35        If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
  36        objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
  37        Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
  38        `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
  39
  40receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
  41        Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
  42        linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
  43        linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
  44        details.
  45
  46receive.fsck.skipList::
  47        Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
  48        linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
  49        linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
  50        details.
  51
  52receive.keepAlive::
  53        After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
  54        produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
  55        the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
  56        With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
  57        any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
  58        send a short keepalive packet.  The default is 5 seconds; set
  59        to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
  60
  61receive.unpackLimit::
  62        If the number of objects received in a push is below this
  63        limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
  64        files. However if the number of received objects equals or
  65        exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
  66        a pack, after adding any missing delta bases.  Storing the
  67        pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
  68        especially on slow filesystems.  If not set, the value of
  69        `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
  70
  71receive.maxInputSize::
  72        If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
  73        limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
  74        accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
  75        is unlimited.
  76
  77receive.denyDeletes::
  78        If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
  79        the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
  80
  81receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
  82        If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
  83        deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
  84
  85receive.denyCurrentBranch::
  86        If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
  87        to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
  88        Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
  89        out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
  90        print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
  91        proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
  92        message. Defaults to "refuse".
  93+
  94Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
  95tree if pushing into the current branch.  This option is
  96intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
  97accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
  98that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
  99developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
 100+
 101By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
 102the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
 103hook can be used to customize this.  See linkgit:githooks[5].
 104
 105receive.denyNonFastForwards::
 106        If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
 107        not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
 108        even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
 109        set when initializing a shared repository.
 110
 111receive.hideRefs::
 112        This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
 113        only to `receive-pack` (and so affects pushes, but not fetches).
 114        An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by `git push` is
 115        rejected.
 116
 117receive.updateServerInfo::
 118        If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
 119        after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
 120
 121receive.shallowUpdate::
 122        If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs
 123        require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected.
