Variables
~~~~~~~~~
file is automatically created for branch heads.
This information can be used to determine what commit
- was the tip of a branch "2 days ago". This value is
- false by default (no automated creation of log files).
+ 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
database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols
count as direct access).
+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, which should be reasonable for all
+ users/operating systems, except on largest Git projects.
+ You probably do not need to adjust this value.
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
branch.<name>.remote::
When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` which remote to fetch.
+ If this option is not given, `git fetch` defaults to remote "origin".
branch.<name>.merge::
- When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default remote branch
- to be merged.
-
-pager.color::
- A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
- use (default is true).
-
-diff.color::
+ When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default refspec to
+ be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value has exactly to match
+ a remote part of one of the refspecs which are 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.
+
+color.diff::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use
colors only when the output is to the terminal.
-diff.color.<slot>::
+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 `plain` (context text), `meta`
`red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, or
`white`.
+color.pager::
+ A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
+ use (default is true).
+
+color.status::
+ A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
+ gitlink:git-status[1]. May be set to `true` (or `always`),
+ `false` (or `never`) or `auto`, in which case colors are used
+ only when the output is to a terminal. Defaults to false.
+
+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),
+ or `untracked` (files which are not tracked by git). The values of
+ these variables may be specified as in color.diff.<slot>.
+
diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
detection; equivalent to the git diff option '-l'.
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
+gc.reflogexpire::
+ `git reflog expire` removes reflog entries older than
+ this time; defaults to 90 days.
+
+gc.reflogexpireunreachable::
+ `git reflog expire` removes reflog entries older than
+ this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
+ defaults to 30 days.
+
+gc.rerereresolved::
+ Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
+ kept for this many days when `git rerere gc` is run.
+ The default is 60 days. See gitlink: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.
+ The default is 15 days. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].
+
gitcvs.enabled::
Whether the cvs pserver interface is enabled for this repository.
See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
porcelains). See e.g. gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
+i18n.logOutputEncoding::
+ Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
+ running `git-log` and friends.
+
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.
The default set of branches for gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
See gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
-status.color::
- A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
- gitlink:git-status[1]. May be set to `true` (or `always`),
- `false` (or `never`) or `auto`, in which case colors are used
- only when the output is to a terminal. Defaults to false.
-
-status.color.<slot>::
- Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
- one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
- `updated` (files which are updated but not committed),
- `changed` (files which are changed but not updated in the index),
- or `untracked` (files which are not tracked by git). The values of
- these variables may be specified as in diff.color.<slot>.
-
tar.umask::
By default, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects
