default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
core.ignoreCase::
- If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable
+ Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
- like FAT. For example, if a directory listing finds
- "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
+ like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
+ finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
"Makefile".

The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
is created.

+Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating

core.precomposeUnicode::
This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
-core.commitGraph::
- Enable git commit graph feature. Allows reading from the
- commit-graph file.
+gc.commitGraph::
+ If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
+ linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using linkgit:git-gc[1]
+ '--auto' the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
+ required. Default is false. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]
+ for details.
core.sparseCheckout::
Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
repository-level config (this is a safety measure against fetching from
untrusted repositories).
+uploadpack.allowRefInWant::
+ If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support the `ref-in-want`
+ feature of the protocol version 2 `fetch` command. This feature
+ is intended for the benefit of load-balanced servers which may
+ not have the same view of what OIDs their refs point to due to
+ replication delay.

url.<base>.insteadOf::
Any URL that starts with this value will be rewritten to
start, instead, with <base>. In cases where some site serves a
