= true).
core.worktree::
- Set the path to the root of the work tree.
+ Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
+ used in combination with repositories found automatically in
+ a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option. It can be
- an absolute path or a relative path to the .git directory,
- either specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR, or automatically
- discovered.
- If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
+ an absolute path or relative path to the directory specified by
+ --git-dir or GIT_DIR.
+ Note: If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the root of the
- work tree.
-+
-Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
-file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory, and its value differs
-from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
-core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
-misconfiguration. Running git commands in "/path/to" directory will
-still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
-great confusion to the users.
+ the current working directory is regarded as the top directory
+ of your working tree.
core.logAllRefUpdates::
Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
fetch.recurseSubmodules::
A boolean value which changes the behavior for fetch and pull, the
- default is to not recursively fetch populated sumodules unless
+ default is to not recursively fetch populated submodules unless
configured otherwise.
fetch.unpackLimit::
submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules::
This option can be used to enable/disable recursive fetching of this
- submodule. It can be overriden by using the --[no-]recurse-submodules
+ submodule. It can be overridden by using the --[no-]recurse-submodules
command line option to "git fetch" and "git pull".
This setting will override that from in the linkgit:gitmodules[5]
file.
