compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
slowest.
+core.legacyheaders::
+ A boolean which enables the legacy object header format in case
+ you want to interoperate with old clients accessing the object
+ database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols
+ count as direct access).
+
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::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use
Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created
merge commit messages. False by default.
+pack.window::
+ The size of the window used by gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] when no
+ window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
+
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
The default set of branches for gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
See gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
+tar.umask::
+ 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
+ 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 gitlink:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
+ value remains 0, which means world read-write.
+
user.email::
Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL' and 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL'
