core.loosecompression::
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no

core.packedGitWindowSize::
Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
supported.
+branch.<name>.rebase::
+ When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
+ instead of merging the default branch from the default remote.
+ *NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
+ it unless you understand the implications (see gitlink:git-rebase[1]

color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of

color.diff::
- When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
- When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use

pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
especially on slow filesystems.
+format.numbered::
+ A boolean which can enable sequence numbers in patch subjects.

format.headers::
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
rerere.enabled::
Activate recording of resolved conflicts, so that identical
conflict hunks can be resolved automatically, should they
- be encountered again. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].

access method.
+http.proxy::
+ Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy'

http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment

pack.deltaCacheSize::
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window
is however multiplied by the number of threads.
+pack.indexVersion::
+ Specify the default pack index version. Valid values are 1 for
+ legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
+ the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB

The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
The URL of a remote repository. See gitlink:git-fetch[1] or
gitlink:git-push[1].
