core.eol::
Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
- files that have the `text` property set. Alternatives are
- 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's native
- line ending. The default value is `native`. See
+ 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.
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$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 lets you edit
messages by launching an editor uses the value of this
Specify the pathname of a file to use as the template for
new commit messages.
+commit.verbose::
+ A boolean or int to specify the level of verbose with `git commit`.
+ See linkgit:git-commit[1].
+
credential.helper::
Specify an external helper to be called when a username or
password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
- storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. See
- linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details.
+ storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. Note
+ that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
+ for details.
credential.useHttpPath::
When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
difftool.prompt::
Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
+fastimport.unpackLimit::
+ If the number of objects imported by linkgit:git-fast-import[1]
+ is below this limit, then the objects will be unpacked into
+ loose object files. However if the number of imported objects
+ equals or exceeds this limit then the pack will be stored as a
+ pack. Storing the pack from a fast-import can make the import
+ operation complete faster, especially on slow filesystems. If
+ not set, the value of `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
+
fetch.recurseSubmodules::
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
Set a custom directory to store the resulting files instead of the
current working directory.
+format.useAutoBase::
+ A boolean value which lets you enable the `--base=auto` option of
+ format-patch by default.
+
filter.<driver>.clean::
The command which is used to convert the content of a worktree
file to a blob upon checkin. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
authentication.
+http.extraHeader::
+ Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server. If
+ more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
+ headers. To allow overriding the settings inherited from the system
+ config, an empty value will reset the extra headers to the empty list.
+
http.cookieFile::
- File containing previously stored cookie lines which should be used
+ The pathname of a 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 `curl(1)`).
- NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is only used as
+ NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is used only as
input unless http.saveCookies is set.
http.saveCookies::
setting is silently ignored if portable keystroke input
is not available; requires the Perl module Term::ReadKey.
+interactive.diffFilter::
+ When an interactive command (such as `git add --patch`) shows
+ a colorized diff, git will pipe the diff through the shell
+ command defined by this configuration variable. The command may
+ mark up the diff further for human consumption, provided that it
+ retains a one-to-one correspondence with the lines in the
+ original diff. Defaults to disabled (no filtering).
+
log.abbrevCommit::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
- This is the same as the log commands '--decorate' option.
+ If 'auto' is specified, then if the output is going to a terminal,
+ the ref names are shown as if 'short' were given, otherwise no ref
+ names are shown. This is the same as the '--decorate' option
+ of the `git log`.
log.follow::
If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
"--ignore-submodules" option. The 'git submodule' commands are not
affected by this setting.
+submodule.fetchJobs::
+ Specifies how many submodules are fetched/cloned at the same time.
+ A positive integer allows up to that number of submodules fetched
+ in parallel. A value of 0 will give some reasonable default.
+ If unset, it defaults to 1.
+
+tag.forceSignAnnotated::
+ A boolean to specify whether annotated tags created should be GPG signed.
+ If `--annotate` is specified on the command line, it takes
+ precedence over this option.
+
tag.sort::
This variable controls the sort ordering of tags when displayed by
linkgit:git-tag[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
