   2        These variables control various optional help messages designed to
   3        aid new users. All 'advice.*' variables default to 'true', and you
   4        can tell Git that you do not need help by setting these to 'false':

   7        pushUpdateRejected::
   8                Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable
   9                'pushNonFFCurrent',
  10                'pushNonFFMatching', 'pushAlreadyExists',
  11                'pushFetchFirst', and 'pushNeedsForce'
  12                simultaneously.
  13        pushNonFFCurrent::
  14                Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
  15                non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
  16        pushNonFFMatching::
  17                Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
  18                'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
  19                specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
  20                it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
  21        pushAlreadyExists::
  22                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  23                does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
  24        pushFetchFirst::
  25                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  26                tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
  27                object we do not have.
  28        pushNeedsForce::
  29                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  30                tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
  31                object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
  32                ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
  33        pushUnqualifiedRefname::
  34                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] gives up trying to
  35                guess based on the source and destination refs what
  36                remote ref namespace the source belongs in, but where
  37                we can still suggest that the user push to either
  38                refs/heads/* or refs/tags/* based on the type of the
  39                source object.
  40        statusHints::
  41                Show directions on how to proceed from the current
  42                state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in
  43                the template shown when writing commit messages in
  44                linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
  45                by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.
  46        statusUoption::
  47                Advise to consider using the `-u` option to linkgit:git-status[1]
  48                when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate untracked
  49                files.
  50        commitBeforeMerge::
  51                Advice shown when linkgit:git-merge[1] refuses to
  52                merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
  53        resetQuiet::
  54                Advice to consider using the `--quiet` option to linkgit:git-reset[1]
  55                when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate unstaged
  56                changes after reset.
  57        resolveConflict::
  58                Advice shown by various commands when conflicts
  59                prevent the operation from being performed.
  60        implicitIdentity::
  61                Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
  62                your information is guessed from the system username and
  63                domain name.
  64        detachedHead::
  65                Advice shown when you used linkgit:git-checkout[1] to
  66                move to the detach HEAD state, to instruct how to create
  67                a local branch after the fact.
  68        checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName::
  69                Advice shown when the argument to
  70                linkgit:git-checkout[1] ambiguously resolves to a
  71                remote tracking branch on more than one remote in
  72                situations where an unambiguous argument would have
  73                otherwise caused a remote-tracking branch to be
  74                checked out. See the `checkout.defaultRemote`
  75                configuration variable for how to set a given remote
  76                to used by default in some situations where this
  77                advice would be printed.
  78        amWorkDir::
  79                Advice that shows the location of the patch file when
  80                linkgit:git-am[1] fails to apply it.
  81        rmHints::
  82                In case of failure in the output of linkgit:git-rm[1],
  83                show directions on how to proceed from the current state.
  84        addEmbeddedRepo::
  85                Advice on what to do when you've accidentally added one
  86                git repo inside of another.
  87        ignoredHook::
  88                Advice shown if a hook is ignored because the hook is not
  89                set as executable.
  90        waitingForEditor::
  91                Print a message to the terminal whenever Git is waiting for
  92                editor input from the user.
