Set the path to the root of the working tree.

variable and the '--work-tree' command line option.

Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.

-Currently only linkgit:git-fast-import[1] honors this setting.
core.excludesfile::
In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and

When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
"{tilde}/" is expanded to the value of `$HOME` and "{tilde}user/" to the
specified user's home directory.
-diff.autorefreshindex::
- When using 'git diff' to compare with work tree
- files, do not consider stat-only change as changed.
- Instead, silently run `git update-index --refresh` to
- update the cached stat information for paths whose
- contents in the work tree match the contents in the
- index. This option defaults to true. Note that this
- affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level
- 'diff' commands such as 'git diff-files'.
-
-diff.external::
- If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
- performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
- given command. Can be overridden with the `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'
- environment variable. The command is called with parameters
- as described under "git Diffs" in linkgit:git[1]. Note: if
- you want to use an external diff program only on a subset of
- your files, you might want to use linkgit:gitattributes[5] instead.
-
-diff.mnemonicprefix::
- If set, 'git diff' uses a prefix pair that is different from the
- standard "a/" and "b/" depending on what is being compared. When
- this configuration is in effect, reverse diff output also swaps
- the order of the prefixes:
-`git diff`;;
- compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
-`git diff HEAD`;;
- compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
-`git diff --cached`;;
- compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
-`git diff HEAD:file1 file2`;;
- compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
-`git diff --no-index a b`;;
- compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
-
-diff.noprefix::
- If set, 'git diff' does not show any source or destination prefix.
-
-diff.renameLimit::
- The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
- detection; equivalent to the 'git diff' option '-l'.
-
-diff.renames::
- Tells git to detect renames. If set to any boolean value, it
- will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
- "copy", it will detect copies, as well.
-
-diff.ignoreSubmodules::
- Sets the default value of --ignore-submodules. Note that this
- affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level 'diff'
- commands such as 'git diff-files'. 'git checkout' also honors
- this setting when reporting uncommitted changes.
-
-diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
- A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
- before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
-
-diff.tool::
- Controls which diff tool is used. `diff.tool` overrides
- `merge.tool` when used by linkgit:git-difftool[1] and has
- the same valid values as `merge.tool` minus "tortoisemerge"
- and plus "kompare".
+include::diff-config.txt[]
difftool.<tool>.path::
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
characters are *ignorable* whitespace.
fetch.recurseSubmodules::
- A boolean value which changes the behavior for fetch and pull, the
- default is to not recursively fetch populated submodules unless
- configured otherwise.
+ This option can be either set to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.
+ Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to
+ unconditionally recurse into submodules when set to true or to not
+ recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand' (the default
+ value), fetch and pull will only recurse into a populated submodule
+ when its superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
+ reference.
fetch.unpackLimit::
If the number of objects fetched over the git native
the rights to submit this work under the same open source license.
Please see the 'SubmittingPatches' document for further discussion.
+filter.<driver>.clean::
+ The command which is used to convert the content of a worktree
+ file to a blob upon checkin. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
+ details.
+
+filter.<driver>.smudge::
+ The command which is used to convert the content of a blob
+ object to a worktree file upon checkout. See
+ linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
gc.aggressiveWindow::
The window size parameter used in the delta compression
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
is one of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given
access method.
+grep.lineNumber::
+ If set to true, enable '-n' option by default.
+
+grep.extendedRegexp::
+ If set to true, enable '--extended-regexp' option by default.
+
gui.commitmsgwidth::
Defines how wide the commit message window is in the
linkgit:git-gui[1]. "75" is the default.
linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules::
- This option can be used to enable/disable recursive fetching of this
+ This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this
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]
