add.ignoreErrors::
+add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the '--ignore-errors'
- option of linkgit:git-add[1]. Older versions of Git accept only
- `add.ignore-errors`, which does not follow the usual naming
- convention for configuration variables. Newer versions of Git
- honor `add.ignoreErrors` as well.
+ option of linkgit:git-add[1]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,

+ variables.
alias.*::
Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
`added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
`changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
`untracked` (files which are not tracked by Git),
- `branch` (the current branch), or
+ `branch` (the current branch),
`nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting
- to red). The values of these variables may be specified as in
+ to red), or
+ `unmerged` (files which have unmerged changes).
+ The values of these variables may be specified as in
color.branch.<slot>.
color.ui::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`.
+mailinfo.scissors::
+ If true, makes linkgit:git-mailinfo[1] (and therefore
+ linkgit:git-am[1]) act by default as if the --scissors option
+ was provided on the command-line. When active, this features
+ removes everything from the message body before a scissors
+ line (i.e. consisting mainly of ">8", "8<" and "-").
+
mailmap.file::
The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default
mailmap, located in the root of the repository, is loaded
true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
you are debugging pack bitmaps.
-pack.writebitmaps::
+pack.writebitmaps (deprecated)::
This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
successful rebase might result in non-trivial conflicts.
Defaults to false.
+receive.advertiseatomic::
+ By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
+ capability to its clients. If you don't want to this capability
+ to be advertised, set this variable to false.
+
receive.autogc::
By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
message. Defaults to "refuse".
+
Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
-directory (must be clean) if pushing into the current branch. This option is
+tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is
intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
++
+By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
+the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
+hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5].
receive.denyNonFastForwards::
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is

setting is not subject to the 'identity' mechanism.
-sendemail.smtpssl::
+sendemail.smtpssl (deprecated)::
Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.smtpencryption = ssl'.
sendemail.smtpsslcertpath::
sendemail.xmailer::
See linkgit:git-send-email[1] for description.
-sendemail.signedoffcc::
+sendemail.signedoffcc (deprecated)::
Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.signedoffbycc'.
showbranch.default::
submodule.<name>.path::
submodule.<name>.url::
+ The path within this project and URL for a submodule. These
+ variables are initially populated by 'git submodule init'. See
+ linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for
+ details.
+
submodule.<name>.update::
- The path within this project, URL, and the updating strategy
- for a submodule. These variables are initially populated
- by 'git submodule init'; edit them to override the
- URL and other values found in the `.gitmodules` file. See
- linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
+ 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].
submodule.<name>.branch::
The remote branch name for a submodule, used by `git submodule
This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
+versionsort.prereleaseSuffix::
+ When version sort is used in linkgit:git-tag[1], prerelease
+ tags (e.g. "1.0-rc1") may appear after the main release
+ "1.0". By specifying the suffix "-rc" in this variable,
+ "1.0-rc1" will appear before "1.0".
++
+This variable can be specified multiple times, once per suffix. The
+order of suffixes in the config file determines the sorting order
+(e.g. if "-pre" appears before "-rc" in the config file then 1.0-preXX
+is sorted before 1.0-rcXX). The sorting order between different
+suffixes is undefined if they are in multiple config files.
+
web.browser::
Specify a web browser that may be used by some commands.
