Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
-newline (doublequote `"` and backslash can be included by escaping them
-as `\"` and `\\`, respectively). Section headers cannot span multiple
-lines. Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given subsection.

+other characters are dropped when reading; for example, `\t` is read as
+`t` and `\0` is read as `0` Section headers cannot span multiple lines.

There is also a deprecated `[section.subsection]` syntax. With this
syntax, the subsection name is converted to lower-case and is also

If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune`
- option was given on the command line. See also `remote.<name>.prune`.

fetch.output::
Control how ref update status is printed. Valid values are

Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing

- variable.
+ over HTTPS. Defaults to true. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable.
http.sslCert::
File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
is retained. You may override this configuration at time of push by
specifying '--recurse-submodules=check|on-demand|no'.
-rebase.stat::
- Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
- rebase. False by default.
-
-rebase.autoSquash::
- If set to true enable `--autosquash` option by default.
-
-rebase.autoStash::
- When set to true, automatically create a temporary stash entry
- before the operation begins, and apply it after the operation
- ends. This means that you can run rebase on a dirty worktree.
- However, use with care: the final stash application after a
- successful rebase might result in non-trivial conflicts.
- Defaults to false.
-
-rebase.missingCommitsCheck::
- If set to "warn", git rebase -i will print a warning if some
- commits are removed (e.g. a line was deleted), however the
- rebase will still proceed. If set to "error", it will print
- the previous warning and stop the rebase, 'git rebase
- --edit-todo' can then be used to correct the error. If set to
- "ignore", no checking is done.
- To drop a commit without warning or error, use the `drop`
- command in the todo-list.
- Defaults to "ignore".
-
-rebase.instructionFormat::
- A format string, as specified in linkgit:git-log[1], to be used for
- the instruction list during an interactive rebase. The format will automatically
- have the long commit hash prepended to the format.

receive.advertiseAtomic::
By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
remove any remote-tracking references that no longer exist on the
remote (as if the `--prune` option was given on the command line).
Overrides `fetch.prune` settings, if any.
