"gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD". Note that shell commands will be
executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
not necessarily be the current directory.
+'GIT_PREFIX' is set as returned by running 'git rev-parse --show-prefix'
+from the original current directory. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
am.keepcr::
If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
doesn't matter.
color.diff::
- When set to `always`, always use colors in patch.
- When false (or `never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use
- colors only when the output is to the terminal. Defaults to false.
+ Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
+ If this is set to `always`, linkgit:git-diff[1],
+ linkgit:git-log[1], and linkgit:git-show[1] will use color
+ for all patches. If it is set to `true` or `auto`, those
+ commands will only use color when output is to the terminal.
+ Defaults to false.
++
+This does not affect linkgit:git-format-patch[1] nor the
+'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands. Can be overridden on the
+command line with the `--color[=<when>]` option.
color.diff.<slot>::
Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>` specifies
color.branch.<slot>.
color.ui::
- When set to `always`, always use colors in all git commands which
- are capable of colored output. When false (or `never`), never. When
- set to `true` or `auto`, use colors only when the output is to the
- terminal. When more specific variables of color.* are set, they always
- take precedence over this setting. Defaults to false.
+ This variable determines the default value for variables such
+ as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
+ per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
+ configuration to set a default for the `--color` option. Set it
+ to `always` if you want all output not intended for machine
+ consumption to use color, to `true` or `auto` if you want such
+ output to use color when written to the terminal, or to `false` or
+ `never` if you prefer git commands not to use color unless enabled
+ explicitly with some other configuration or the `--color` option.
commit.status::
A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
environment variable (see linkgit:curl[1]). This can be overridden
on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
+http.cookiefile::
+ File containing previously stored cookie lines which should be used
+ in the git http session, if they match the server. The file format
+ of the file to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers or
+ the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see linkgit:curl[1]).
+ NOTE that the file specified with http.cookiefile is only used as
+ input. No cookies will be stored in the file.
+
http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment
interactive.singlekey::
In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
- Currently this is used only by the `\--patch` mode of
- linkgit:git-add[1]. Note that this setting is silently
- ignored if portable keystroke input is not available.
+ Currently this is used by the `\--patch` mode of
+ linkgit:git-add[1], linkgit:git-checkout[1], linkgit:git-commit[1],
+ linkgit:git-reset[1], and linkgit:git-stash[1]. Note that this
+ setting is silently ignored if portable keystroke input
+ is not available.
+
+log.abbrevCommit::
+ If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
+ linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `\--abbrev-commit`. You may
+ override this option with `\--no-abbrev-commit`.
log.date::
Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
