---
+include::config/core.txt[]
-core.fileMode::
- Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
- is to be honored.
-+
-Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
-marked as executable is checked out, or checks out a
-non-executable file with executable bit on.
-linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
-to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
-and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
-+
-A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
-the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
-when created, but later may be made accessible from another
-environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
-CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
-Git for Windows or Eclipse).
-In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
-See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
-+
-The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
-
-core.hideDotFiles::
- (Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose
- name starts with a dot as hidden. If 'dotGitOnly', only the `.git/`
- directory is hidden, but no other files starting with a dot. The
- default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
-
-core.ignoreCase::
- Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
- Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
- like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
- finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
- it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
- "Makefile".
-+
-The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-+
-Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
-and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
-
-core.precomposeUnicode::
- This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
- When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
- of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
- between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
- (Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
- When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
- which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
-
-core.protectHFS::
- If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
- be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
- Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.protectNTFS::
- If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
- cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
- 8.3 "short" names.
- Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.fsmonitor::
- If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
- will identify all files that may have changed since the
- requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
- avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
- See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
-
-core.trustctime::
- If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
- working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
- is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
- crawlers and some backup systems).
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
-
-core.splitIndex::
- If true, the split-index feature of the index will be used.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. False by default.
-
-core.untrackedCache::
- Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the
- index. It will be kept, if this variable is unset or set to
- `keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
- it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
- setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
- properly on your system.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
-
-core.checkStat::
- When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
- structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
- since Git looked at it. When this configuration variable is
- set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
- uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
- the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
- excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
- whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
- is set) and the filesize to be checked.
-+
-There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
-some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
-comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
-same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
-
-core.quotePath::
- Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
- quote "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
- pathname in double-quotes and escaping those characters with
- backslashes in the same way C escapes control characters (e.g.
- `\t` for TAB, `\n` for LF, `\\` for backslash) or bytes with
- values larger than 0x80 (e.g. octal `\302\265` for "micro" in
- UTF-8). If this variable is set to false, bytes higher than
- 0x80 are not considered "unusual" any more. Double-quotes,
- backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
- of the setting of this variable. A simple space character is
- not considered "unusual". Many commands can output pathnames
- completely verbatim using the `-z` option. The default value
- is true.
-
-core.eol::
- Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
- files that have the `text` property set when core.autocrlf is false.
- Alternatives are 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's
- native line ending. The default value is `native`. See
- linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
- conversion.
-
-core.safecrlf::
- If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
- end-of-line conversion is active. Git will verify if a command
- modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
- For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
- same file should yield the original file in the work tree. If
- this is not the case for the current setting of
- `core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file. The variable can
- be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
- irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
-+
-CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
-When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
-CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
-CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git. For text
-files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
-such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
-But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
-conversion can corrupt data.
-+
-If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
-setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
-after committing you still have the original file in your work
-tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
-Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
-appropriately.
-+
-Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
-mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
-files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
-in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
-to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
-converting CRLFs corrupts data.
-+
-Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
-file identical to the original file for a different setting of
-`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one. For
-example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
-and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
-resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
-contained `LF`. However, in both work trees the line endings would be
-consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed. A
-file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
-mechanism.
-
-core.autocrlf::
- Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
- the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
- Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
- working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
- This variable can be set to 'input',
- in which case no output conversion is performed.
-
-core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
- A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
- performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
- `working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
- The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
-
-core.symlinks::
- If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
- contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
- linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
- file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
- symbolic links.
-+
-The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-
-core.gitProxy::
- A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
- of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
- using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
- in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
- on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
- may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
- the first match wins.
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
-(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
-handling).
-+
-The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
-specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
-This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
-proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
-
-core.sshCommand::
- If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
- use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
- connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
- the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
- when the environment variable is set.
-
-core.ignoreStat::
- If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
- changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
- which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
-+
-When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
-the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
-linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
-Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
-+
-This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
-CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
-+
-False by default.
-
-core.preferSymlinkRefs::
- Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
- and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
- This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
- expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
-
-core.bare::
- If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
- working directory associated with it. If this is the case a
- number of commands that require a working directory will be
- disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
-+
-This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
-linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created. By default a
-repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
-false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
-= true).
-
-core.worktree::
- Set the path to the root of the working tree.
- If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
- is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
- This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
- variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
- The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
- the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
- or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
- If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
- --work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the top level
- of your working 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 the "/path/to" directory will
-still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
-confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
-read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
-repository's usual working tree).
-
-core.logAllRefUpdates::
- Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
- "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
- SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
- only when the file exists. If this configuration
- variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
- file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
- `refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
- note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
- If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
- created for any ref under `refs/`.
-+
-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
- version.
-
-core.sharedRepository::
- When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
- several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
- group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
- repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
- group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
- reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
- files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
- user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
- requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
- the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
- others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
- repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
- See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
-
-core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
- If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
- and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
-
-core.compression::
- An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
- -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
- and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
- If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
- such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
-
-core.looseCompression::
- An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
- are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
- compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
- slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
- not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
-
-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 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
-MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This 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 on 32 bit platforms and 32 TiB (effectively
-unlimited) on 64 bit platforms.
-This 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.
-
-core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
- Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
- that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects. By storing the
- entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
- to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
- objects multiple times.
-+
-Default is 96 MiB on all platforms. This 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.
-
-core.bigFileThreshold::
- Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
- attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
- delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
- slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
- larger than this size are always treated as binary.
-+
-Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
-for most projects as source code and other text files can still
-be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.excludesFile::
- Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
- describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
- to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and '.git/info/exclude'.
- Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
- If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
- is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
-
-core.askPass::
- Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
- ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
- via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
- environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
- `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
- prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
- command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
-
-core.attributesFile::
- In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
- '.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
- (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
- way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not
- set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/attributes` is used instead.
-
-core.hooksPath::
- By default Git will look for your hooks in the
- '$GIT_DIR/hooks' directory. Set this to different path,
- e.g. '/etc/git/hooks', and Git will try to find your hooks in
- that directory, e.g. '/etc/git/hooks/pre-receive' instead of
- in '$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive'.
-+
-The path can be either absolute or relative. A relative path is
-taken as relative to the directory where the hooks are run (see
-the "DESCRIPTION" section of linkgit:githooks[5]).
-+
-This configuration variable is useful in cases where you'd like to
-centrally configure your Git hooks instead of configuring them on a
-per-repository basis, or as a more flexible and centralized
-alternative to having an `init.templateDir` where you've changed
-default hooks.
-
-core.editor::
- Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
- messages by launching an editor use the value of this
- variable when it is set, and the environment variable
- `GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
-
-core.commentChar::
- Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
- messages consider a line that begins with this character
- commented, and removes them after the editor returns
- (default '#').
-+
-If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
-the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
-
-core.filesRefLockTimeout::
- The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
- lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
- all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
- retry for 100ms).
-
-core.packedRefsTimeout::
- The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
- lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
- all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
- retry for 1 second).
-
-core.pager::
- Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less'). The value
- is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
- is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
- configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
- compile time (usually 'less').
-+
-When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
-(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
-all). If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
-for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`. This will
-be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
-command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
-`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
-long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
-deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
-command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
-`less`. One can specifically activate some flags for particular
-commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
-line truncation only for `git blame`.
-+
-Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
-to `-c`. You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
-another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
-
-core.whitespace::
- A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
- notice. 'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
- highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
- consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
- any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
-+
-* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
- as an error (enabled by default).
-* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
- before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
- error (enabled by default).
-* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
- characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
- default).
-* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
- the line as an error (not enabled by default).
-* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
- (enabled by default).
-* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
- `blank-at-eof`.
-* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
- part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
- does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
- is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
-* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
- is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
- errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
-
-core.fsyncObjectFiles::
- This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
-+
-This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
-data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
-journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
-and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
-
-core.preloadIndex::
- Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
-+
-This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
-on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
-relatively high IO latencies. When enabled, Git will do the
-index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
-overlapping IO's. Defaults to true.
-
-core.createObject::
- You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
- a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
- will not overwrite existing objects.
-+
-On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
-Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
-check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
-
-core.notesRef::
- When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
- the given ref. The ref must be fully qualified. If the given
- ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
- notes should be printed.
-+
-This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
-the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
-
-core.commitGraph::
- If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
- to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to false. See
- linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
-
-core.useReplaceRefs::
- If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
- option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
- linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
-
-core.multiPackIndex::
- Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
- single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
- multi-pack-index design document].
-
-core.sparseCheckout::
- 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 or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
- computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
- in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
- abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
- The minimum length is 4.
-
-add.ignoreErrors::
-add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
- Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
- added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the `--ignore-errors`
- option of linkgit:git-add[1]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,
- as it does not follow the usual naming convention for configuration
- variables.
-
-alias.*::
- Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
- after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
- "git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid
- confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that
- hide existing Git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by
- spaces, the usual shell quoting and escaping is supported.
- A quote pair or a backslash can be used to quote them.
-+
-If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point,
-it will be treated as a shell command. For example, defining
-"alias.new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD", the invocation
-"git new" is equivalent to running the shell command
-"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
- with parameter `--keep-cr`. In this case git-mailsplit will
- not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overridden
- by giving `--no-keep-cr` from the command line.
- See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].
-
-am.threeWay::
- By default, `git am` will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
- set to true, this setting tells `git am` to fall back on 3-way merge if
- the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
- we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the `--3way`
- option from the command line). Defaults to `false`.
- See linkgit:git-am[1].
-
-apply.ignoreWhitespace::
- When set to 'change', tells 'git apply' to ignore changes in
- whitespace, in the same way as the `--ignore-space-change`
- option.
- When set to one of: no, none, never, false tells 'git apply' to
- respect all whitespace differences.
- See linkgit:git-apply[1].
-
-apply.whitespace::
- Tells 'git apply' how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
- as the `--whitespace` option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
-
-blame.blankBoundary::
- Show blank commit object name for boundary commits in
- linkgit:git-blame[1]. This option defaults to false.
-
-blame.coloring::
- This determines the coloring scheme to be applied to blame
- output. It can be 'repeatedLines', 'highlightRecent',
- or 'none' which is the default.
-
-blame.date::
- Specifies the format used to output dates in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- If unset the iso format is used. For supported values,
- see the discussion of the `--date` option at linkgit:git-log[1].
-
-blame.showEmail::
- Show the author email instead of author name in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- This option defaults to false.
-
-blame.showRoot::
- Do not treat root commits as boundaries in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- This option defaults to false.

branch.autoSetupMerge::
Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
for details.
gc.logExpiry::
- If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` won't run
+ If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` will print
+ its content and exit with status zero instead of running
unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old. Default is
"1.day". See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
value.
with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
by the `GIT_SSL_CAPATH` environment variable.
+http.sslBackend::
+ Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
+ This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
+ backend at runtime.
+
+http.schannelCheckRevoke::
+ Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
+ when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
+ unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
+ and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
+ certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
+ setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
+
+http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
+ As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
+ certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
+ override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
+ by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
+ when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
+ unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
+
http.pinnedpubkey::
Public key of the https service. It may either be the filename of
a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
in linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
+index.threads::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when loading the index.
+ This is meant to reduce index load time on multiprocessor machines.
+ Specifying 0 or 'true' will cause Git to auto-detect the number of
+ CPU's and set the number of threads accordingly. Specifying 1 or
+ 'false' will disable multithreading. Defaults to 'true'.
+
index.version::
Specify the version with which new index files should be
initialized. This does not affect existing repositories.
`$GIT_DIR`, e.g. if "rerere" was previously used in the
repository.
+reset.quiet::
+ When set to true, 'git reset' will default to the '--quiet' option.

-
-uploadpack.allowFilter::
- If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
- clone and partial fetch object filtering.
+
Note that this configuration variable is ignored if it is seen in the
repository-level config (this is a safety measure against fetching from
untrusted repositories).
+uploadpack.allowFilter::
+ If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial

+
uploadpack.allowRefInWant::
If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support the `ref-in-want`
