= true).
core.worktree::
- Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
- used in combination with repositories found automatically in
- a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
+ Set the path to the root of the work tree.
This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option. It can be
- a absolute path or relative path to the directory specified by
- --git-dir or GIT_DIR.
- Note: If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
+ an absolute path or a relative path to the .git directory,
+ either specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR, or automatically
+ discovered.
+ If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the top directory
- of your working tree.
+ the current working directory is regarded as the root of the
+ work 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 "/path/to" directory will
+still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
+great confusion to the users.
core.logAllRefUpdates::
Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
Setting this value to \--no-tags disables automatic tag following when
fetching from remote <name>
+remote.<name>.vcs::
+ Setting this to a value <vcs> will cause git to interact with
+ the remote with the git-remote-<vcs> helper.
+
remotes.<group>::
The list of remotes which are fetched by "git remote update
<group>". See linkgit:git-remote[1].
