Variables
~~~~~~~~~
expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
core.logAllRefUpdates::
- If true, `git-update-ref` will append a line to
- "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>" listing the new SHA1 and the date/time
- of the update. If the file does not exist it will be
- created automatically. This information can be used to
- determine what commit was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
- This value is false by default (no logging).
+ Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
+ "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>", by appending the new and old
+ SHA1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
+ only when the file exists. If this configuration
+ variable is set to true, missing "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>"
+ file is automatically created for branch heads.
++
+This information can be used to determine what commit
+was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
++
+This value is true by default in a repository that has
+a working directory associated with it, and false by
+default in a bare repository.
core.repositoryFormatVersion::
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols
count as direct access).
+core.packedGitWindowSize::
+ Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
+ single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
+ your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
+ more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
+ performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
+ memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
+ a large number of large pack files. Default is 32 MiB,
+ which should be reasonable for all users/operating systems.
+ You probably do not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.packedGitLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
+ from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
+ bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
+ regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
+ Default is 256 MiB, which should be reasonable for all
+ users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
+ You probably do not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1].
-pager.color::
- A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
- use (default is true).
-
-diff.color::
+branch.<name>.remote::
+ When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` which remote to fetch.
+ If this option is not given, `git fetch` defaults to remote "origin".
+
+branch.<name>.merge::
+ When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default refspec to
+ be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value has exactly to match
+ a remote part of one of the refspecs which are fetched from the remote
+ given by "branch.<name>.remote".
+ The merge information is used by `git pull` (which at first calls
+ `git fetch`) to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
+ this option, `git pull` defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
+ Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
+
+color.diff::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use
colors only when the output is to the terminal.
-diff.color.<slot>::
+color.diff.<slot>::
Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>`
specifies which part of the patch to use the specified
color, and is one of `plain` (context text), `meta`
`red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, or
`white`.
+color.pager::
+ A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
+ use (default is true).
+
+color.status::
+ A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
+ gitlink:git-status[1]. May be set to `true` (or `always`),
+ `false` (or `never`) or `auto`, in which case colors are used
+ only when the output is to a terminal. Defaults to false.
+
+color.status.<slot>::
+ Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
+ one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
+ `added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
+ `changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
+ or `untracked` (files which are not tracked by git). The values of
+ these variables may be specified as in color.diff.<slot>.
+
diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
detection; equivalent to the git diff option '-l'.
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
+gc.reflogexpire::
+ `git reflog expire` removes reflog entries older than
+ this time; defaults to 90 days.
+
+gc.reflogexpireunreachable::
+ `git reflog expire` removes reflog entries older than
+ this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
+ defaults to 30 days.
+
+gc.rerereresolved::
+ Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
+ kept for this many days when `git rerere gc` is run.
+ The default is 60 days. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].
+
+gc.rerereunresolved::
+ Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
+ kept for this many days when `git rerere gc` is run.
+ The default is 15 days. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].
+
gitcvs.enabled::
Whether the cvs pserver interface is enabled for this repository.
See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT' and
'GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_TIME' environment variables.
+http.noEPSV::
+ A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
+ This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which doesn't
+ support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV'
+ environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
+
i18n.commitEncoding::
Character encoding the commit messages are stored in; git itself
does not care per se, but this information is necessary e.g. when
browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
porcelains). See e.g. gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
+i18n.logOutputEncoding::
+ Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
+ running `git-log` and friends.
+
+log.showroot::
+ If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
+ This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
+ Tools like gitlink:git-log[1] or gitlink:git-whatchanged[1], which
+ normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
+
merge.summary::
Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created
merge commit messages. False by default.
pull.twohead::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
+remote.<name>.url::
+ The URL of a remote repository. See gitlink:git-fetch[1] or
+ gitlink:git-push[1].
+
+remote.<name>.fetch::
+ The default set of "refspec" for gitlink:git-fetch[1]. See
+ gitlink:git-fetch[1].
+
+remote.<name>.push::
+ The default set of "refspec" for gitlink:git-push[1]. See
+ gitlink:git-push[1].
+
+repack.usedeltabaseoffset::
+ Allow gitlink:git-repack[1] to create packs that uses
+ delta-base offset. Defaults to false.
+
show.difftree::
The default gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] arguments to be used
for gitlink:git-show[1].
imap::
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
in gitlink:git-imap-send[1].
+
+receive.unpackLimit::
+ If the number of objects received in a push is below this
+ limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
+ files. However if the number of received objects equals or
+ exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
+ a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
+ pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
+ especially on slow filesystems.
+
+receive.denyNonFastForwards::
+ If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
+ not a fast forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
+ even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
+ set when initializing a shared repository.
