1status.relativePaths:: 2 By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the 3 current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths 4 relative to the repository root (this was the default for Git 5 prior to v1.5.4). 6 7status.short:: 8 Set to true to enable --short by default in linkgit:git-status[1]. 9 The option --no-short takes precedence over this variable. 10 11status.branch:: 12 Set to true to enable --branch by default in linkgit:git-status[1]. 13 The option --no-branch takes precedence over this variable. 14 15status.aheadBehind:: 16 Set to true to enable `--ahead-behind` and false to enable 17 `--no-ahead-behind` by default in linkgit:git-status[1] for 18 non-porcelain status formats. Defaults to true. 19 20status.displayCommentPrefix:: 21 If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will insert a comment 22 prefix before each output line (starting with 23 `core.commentChar`, i.e. `#` by default). This was the 24 behavior of linkgit:git-status[1] in Git 1.8.4 and previous. 25 Defaults to false. 26 27status.renameLimit:: 28 The number of files to consider when performing rename detection 29 in linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1]. Defaults to 30 the value of diff.renameLimit. 31 32status.renames:: 33 Whether and how Git detects renames in linkgit:git-status[1] and 34 linkgit:git-commit[1] . If set to "false", rename detection is 35 disabled. If set to "true", basic rename detection is enabled. 36 If set to "copies" or "copy", Git will detect copies, as well. 37 Defaults to the value of diff.renames. 38 39status.showStash:: 40 If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will display the number of 41 entries currently stashed away. 42 Defaults to false. 43 44status.showUntrackedFiles:: 45 By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show 46 files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which 47 contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name 48 only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all 49 the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some 50 systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays 51 the untracked files. Possible values are: 52+ 53-- 54* `no` - Show no untracked files. 55* `normal` - Show untracked files and directories. 56* `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories. 57-- 58+ 59If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'. 60This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option 61of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1]. 62 63status.submoduleSummary:: 64 Defaults to false. 65 If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an 66 unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a 67 summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see 68 --summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note 69 that the summary output command will be suppressed for all 70 submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only 71 for those submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. The only 72 exception to that rule is that status and commit will show staged 73 submodule changes. To 74 also view the summary for ignored submodules you can either use 75 the --ignore-submodules=dirty command-line option or the 'git 76 submodule summary' command, which shows a similar output but does 77 not honor these settings.
