core.fileMode::
core.autocrlf::
If true, makes git convert `CRLF` at the end of lines in text files to
- `LF` when reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
- writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
+ `LF` when reading from the work tree, and convert in reverse when
+ writing to the work tree. The variable can be set to
'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
- reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
- `LF` at the end of lines. A file is considered
+ reading from the work tree but files are written out to the work
+ tree with `LF` at the end of lines. A file is considered
"text" (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) based on
the file's `crlf` attribute, or if `crlf` is unspecified,
based on the file's contents. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.bigFileThreshold::
+ Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
+ attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
+ delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
+ slight expense of increased disk usage.
++
+Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for most projects as source code and other text files can still
+be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.

+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.

core.excludesfile::
In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
'.git/info/exclude', git looks into this file for patterns
error (enabled by default).
* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with 8 or more
space characters as an error (not enabled by default).
+* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
+ the line as an error (not enabled by default).
* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
(enabled by default).
* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and

When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
the given ref. This ref is expected to contain files named

+ after the full SHA-1 of the commit they annotate. The ref
+ must be fully qualified.

If such a file exists in the given ref, the referenced blob is read, and
-appended to the commit message, separated by a "Notes:" line. If the
+appended to the commit message, separated by a "Notes (<refname>):"
+line (shortened to "Notes:" in the case of "refs/notes/commits"). If the
given ref itself does not exist, it is not an error, but means that no
notes should be printed.

This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and can be overridden by
the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable.
+core.sparseCheckout::
+ Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
+ linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.

add.ignore-errors::
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the '--ignore-errors'
executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
not necessarily be the current directory.
+am.keepcr::
+ If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
+ with parameter '--keep-cr'. In this case git-mailsplit will
+ not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overrriden
+ by giving '--no-keep-cr' from the command line.
+ See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].

apply.ignorewhitespace::
When set to 'change', tells 'git apply' to ignore changes in
whitespace, in the same way as the '--ignore-space-change'
as the '--whitespace' option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
branch.autosetupmerge::
- Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to setup new branches
+ Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from the
starting point branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
`never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only
when the output is written to the terminal. Defaults to `false`.
-color.grep.external::
- The string value of this variable is passed to an external 'grep'
- command as a command line option if match highlighting is turned
- on. If set to an empty string, no option is passed at all,
- turning off coloring for external 'grep' calls; this is the default.
- For GNU grep, set it to `--color=always` to highlight matches even
- when a pager is used.
-
-color.grep.match::
- Use customized color for matches. The value of this variable
- may be specified as in color.branch.<slot>. It is passed using
- the environment variables 'GREP_COLOR' and 'GREP_COLORS' when
- calling an external 'grep'.

gc.auto::
When there are approximately more than this many loose
default value is 50. Setting this to 0 disables it.
gc.packrefs::
- 'git gc' does not run `git pack-refs` in a bare repository by
- default so that older dumb-transport clients can still fetch
- from the repository. Setting this to `true` lets 'git gc'
- to run `git pack-refs`. Setting this to `false` tells
- 'git gc' never to run `git pack-refs`. The default setting is
- `notbare`. Enable it only when you know you do not have to
- support such clients. The default setting will change to `true`
- at some stage, and setting this to `false` will continue to
- prevent `git pack-refs` from being run from 'git gc'.
+ Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
+ unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
+ transports such as HTTP. This variable determines whether
