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
+ false by default (no automated creation of log files).
core.repositoryFormatVersion::
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
version.
core.sharedRepository::
- If true, the repository is made shareable between several users
- in a group (making sure all the files and objects are group-writable).
- See gitlink:git-init-db[1]. False by default.
+ 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). See gitlink:git-init-db[1]. False by default.
core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
If true, git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1].
+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.
+
+pager.color::
+ A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
+ use (default is true).
+
diff.color::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use
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'.
+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].
The default set of branches for gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
See gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
+status.color::
+ 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.
+
+status.color.<slot>::
+ Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
+ one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
+ `updated` (files which are updated but not committed),
+ `changed` (files which are changed but not updated in the index),
+ or `untracked` (files which are not tracked by git). The values of
+ these variables may be specified as in diff.color.<slot>.
+
tar.umask::
- By default, git-link:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
+ By default, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects
such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects.
With this variable, it becomes possible to tell
- git-link:git-tar-tree[1] to apply a specific umask to the modes above.
+ gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] to apply a specific umask to the modes above.
The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will
be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to
- the same permissions as git-link:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
+ the same permissions as gitlink:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
value remains 0, which means world read-write.
user.email::
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.
