There is also a deprecated `[section.subsection]` syntax. With this

core.fileMode::
8.3 "short" names.
Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
+core.fsmonitor::
+ If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
+ will identify all files that may have changed since the
+ requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
+ avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
+ See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
+
core.trustctime::
If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
Tells 'git apply' how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the `--whitespace` option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
+blame.showRoot::
+ Do not treat root commits as boundaries in linkgit:git-blame[1].
+ This option defaults to false.
+
+blame.blankBoundary::
+ Show blank commit object name for boundary commits in
+ linkgit:git-blame[1]. This option defaults to false.
+
+blame.showEmail::
+ Show the author email instead of author name in linkgit:git-blame[1].
+ This option defaults to false.
+
+blame.date::
+ Specifies the format used to output dates in linkgit:git-blame[1].
+ If unset the iso format is used. For supported values,
+ see the discussion of the `--date` option at linkgit:git-log[1].
+
branch.autoSetupMerge::
Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from the

Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
- over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment
- 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
override a value from a lower-priority config file. An explicit
command-line flag always overrides this config option.
+push.pushOption::
+ When no `--push-option=<option>` argument is given from the
+ command line, `git push` behaves as if each <value> of
+ this variable is given as `--push-option=<value>`.
++
+This is a multi-valued variable, and an empty value can be used in a
+higher priority configuration file (e.g. `.git/config` in a
+repository) to clear the values inherited from a lower priority
+configuration files (e.g. `$HOME/.gitconfig`).

+Example:

+ push.pushoption = a
+ push.pushoption = b
+
+~/.gitconfig
+ push.pushoption = c
+
+repo/.git/config
+ push.pushoption =
+ push.pushoption = b
+
+This will result in only b (a and c are cleared).

push.recurseSubmodules::
Make sure all submodule commits used by the revisions to be pushed
are available on a remote-tracking branch. If the value is 'check'
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.

submodule.<name>.update::
- The default update procedure for a submodule. This variable
- is populated by `git submodule init` from the
- linkgit:gitmodules[5] file. See description of 'update'
- command in linkgit:git-submodule[1].
+ The method by which a submodule is updated by 'git submodule update',
+ which is the only affected command, others such as
+ 'git checkout --recurse-submodules' are unaffected. It exists for
+ historical reasons, when 'git submodule' was the only command to
+ interact with submodules; settings like `submodule.active`
+ and `pull.rebase` are more specific. It is populated by
+ `git submodule init` from the linkgit:gitmodules[5] file.
+ See description of 'update' command in linkgit:git-submodule[1].
submodule.<name>.branch::
The remote branch name for a submodule, used by `git submodule
Specify a web browser that may be used by some commands.

+
+worktree.guessRemote::
+ With `add`, if no branch argument, and neither of `-b` nor
+ `-B` nor `--detach` are given, the command defaults to
+ creating a new branch from HEAD. If `worktree.guessRemote` is
+ set to true, `worktree add` tries to find a remote-tracking
+ branch whose name uniquely matches the new branch name. If
+ such a branch exists, it is checked out and set as "upstream"
+ for the new branch. If no such match can be found, it falls
+ back to creating a new branch from the current HEAD.
