   7        fetchShowForcedUpdates::
   8                Advice shown when linkgit:git-fetch[1] takes a long time
   9                to calculate forced updates after ref updates, or to warn
  10                that the check is disabled.
  11        pushUpdateRejected::
  12                Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable
  13                'pushNonFFCurrent',
  14                'pushNonFFMatching', 'pushAlreadyExists',
  15                'pushFetchFirst', and 'pushNeedsForce'
  16                simultaneously.
  17        pushNonFFCurrent::
  18                Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
  19                non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
  20        pushNonFFMatching::
  21                Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
  22                'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
  23                specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
  24                it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
  25        pushAlreadyExists::
  26                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  27                does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
  28        pushFetchFirst::
  29                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  30                tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
  31                object we do not have.
  32        pushNeedsForce::
  33                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  34                tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
  35                object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
  36                ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
  37        pushUnqualifiedRefname::
  38                Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] gives up trying to
  39                guess based on the source and destination refs what
  40                remote ref namespace the source belongs in, but where
  41                we can still suggest that the user push to either
  42                refs/heads/* or refs/tags/* based on the type of the
  43                source object.
  44        statusAheadBehind::
  45                Shown when linkgit:git-status[1] computes the ahead/behind
  46                counts for a local ref compared to its remote tracking ref,
  47                and that calculation takes longer than expected. Will not
  48                appear if `status.aheadBehind` is false or the option
  49                `--no-ahead-behind` is given.
  50        statusHints::
  51                Show directions on how to proceed from the current
  52                state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in
  53                the template shown when writing commit messages in
  54                linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
  55                by linkgit:git-switch[1] or
  56                linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.
  57        statusUoption::
  58                Advise to consider using the `-u` option to linkgit:git-status[1]
  59                when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate untracked
  60                files.
  61        commitBeforeMerge::
  62                Advice shown when linkgit:git-merge[1] refuses to
  63                merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
  64        resetQuiet::
  65                Advice to consider using the `--quiet` option to linkgit:git-reset[1]
  66                when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate unstaged
  67                changes after reset.
  68        resolveConflict::
  69                Advice shown by various commands when conflicts
  70                prevent the operation from being performed.
  71        sequencerInUse::
  72                Advice shown when a sequencer command is already in progress.
  73        implicitIdentity::
  74                Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
  75                your information is guessed from the system username and
  76                domain name.
  77        detachedHead::
  78                Advice shown when you used
  79                linkgit:git-switch[1] or linkgit:git-checkout[1]
  80                to move to the detach HEAD state, to instruct how to
  81                create a local branch after the fact.
  82        checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName::
  83                Advice shown when the argument to
  84                linkgit:git-checkout[1] and linkgit:git-switch[1]
  85                ambiguously resolves to a
  86                remote tracking branch on more than one remote in
  87                situations where an unambiguous argument would have
  88                otherwise caused a remote-tracking branch to be
  89                checked out. See the `checkout.defaultRemote`
  90                configuration variable for how to set a given remote
  91                to used by default in some situations where this
  92                advice would be printed.
  93        amWorkDir::
  94                Advice that shows the location of the patch file when
  95                linkgit:git-am[1] fails to apply it.
  96        rmHints::
  97                In case of failure in the output of linkgit:git-rm[1],
  98                show directions on how to proceed from the current state.
  99        addEmbeddedRepo::
 100                Advice on what to do when you've accidentally added one
 101                git repo inside of another.
 102        ignoredHook::
 103                Advice shown if a hook is ignored because the hook is not
 104                set as executable.
 105        waitingForEditor::
 106                Print a message to the terminal whenever Git is waiting for
 107                editor input from the user.
 108        nestedTag::
 109                Advice shown if a user attempts to recursively tag a tag object.
