The values following the equals sign in variable assign are all either
a string, an integer, or a boolean. Boolean values may be given as yes/no,
-0/1, true/false or on/off. Case is not significant in boolean values, when
+1/0, true/false or on/off. Case is not significant in boolean values, when
converting value to the canonical form using '--bool' type specifier;
'git config' will ensure that the output is "true" or "false".
Set the path to the root of the working tree.
This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option.

If true, git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
and might match multiple refs in the .git/refs/ tree. True by default.
-core.abbrevguard::
- Even though git makes sure that it uses enough hexdigits to show
- an abbreviated object name unambiguously, as more objects are
- added to the repository over time, a short name that used to be
- unique will stop being unique. Git uses this many extra hexdigits
- that are more than necessary to make the object name currently
- unique, in the hope that its output will stay unique a bit longer.
- Defaults to 0.
-
core.compression::
An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
-1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
+
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
Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
+core.abbrev::
+ Set the length object names are abbreviated to. If unspecified,
+ many commands abbreviate to 7 hexdigits, which may not be enough
+ for abbreviated object names to stay unique for sufficiently long
+ time.

add.ignore-errors::
add.ignoreErrors::
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
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
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".
