core.worktree::
Set the path to the root of the working tree.

the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
+core.packedRefsTimeout::
+ The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to

sequence.editor::
Text editor used by `git rebase -i` for editing the rebase instruction file.
The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used.
color.diff.<slot>::
Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>` specifies
which part of the patch to use the specified color, and is one

`new` (added lines), `commit` (commit headers), or `whitespace`
(highlighting whitespace errors).
"now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
unreachable objects immediately.
+gc.pruneWorktreesExpire::
+ When 'git gc' is run, it will call
+ 'prune --worktrees --expire 3.months.ago'.

If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset.
+http.sslCipherList::
+ A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
+ The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
+ NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto

+ option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
+ of this list.

+Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST' environment variable.
+To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
+explicit http.sslCipherList option, set 'GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST' to the
+empty string.

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

When `uploadpack.hideRefs` is in effect, allow `upload-pack`

When `upload-pack` has started `pack-objects`, there may be a
