-
-grep.lineNumber::
- If set to true, enable `-n` option by default.
-
-grep.column::
- If set to true, enable the `--column` option by default.
-
-grep.patternType::
- Set the default matching behavior. Using a value of 'basic', 'extended',
- 'fixed', or 'perl' will enable the `--basic-regexp`, `--extended-regexp`,
- `--fixed-strings`, or `--perl-regexp` option accordingly, while the
- value 'default' will return to the default matching behavior.
-
-grep.extendedRegexp::
- If set to true, enable `--extended-regexp` option by default. This
- option is ignored when the `grep.patternType` option is set to a value
- other than 'default'.
-
-grep.threads::
- Number of grep worker threads to use.
- See `grep.threads` in linkgit:git-grep[1] for more information.
-
-grep.fallbackToNoIndex::
- If set to true, fall back to git grep --no-index if git grep
- is executed outside of a git repository. Defaults to false.
-
-gpg.program::
- Use this custom program instead of "`gpg`" found on `$PATH` when
- making or verifying a PGP signature. The program must support the
- same command-line interface as GPG, namely, to verify a detached
- signature, "`gpg --verify $file - <$signature`" is run, and the
- program is expected to signal a good signature by exiting with
- code 0, and to generate an ASCII-armored detached signature, the
- standard input of "`gpg -bsau $key`" is fed with the contents to be
- signed, and the program is expected to send the result to its
- standard output.
-
-gpg.format::
- Specifies which key format to use when signing with `--gpg-sign`.
- Default is "openpgp" and another possible value is "x509".
-
-gpg.<format>.program::
- Use this to customize the program used for the signing format you
- chose. (see `gpg.program` and `gpg.format`) `gpg.program` can still
- be used as a legacy synonym for `gpg.openpgp.program`. The default
- value for `gpg.x509.program` is "gpgsm".
-
-include::gui-config.txt[]
-
-guitool.<name>.cmd::
- Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
- of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
- mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
- the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
- the tool as `GIT_GUITOOL`, the name of the currently selected file as
- 'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
- the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
-
-guitool.<name>.needsFile::
- Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
- that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
-
-guitool.<name>.noConsole::
- Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
- output.
-
-guitool.<name>.noRescan::
- Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
- finishes execution.
-
-guitool.<name>.confirm::
- Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
-
-guitool.<name>.argPrompt::
- Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
- through the `ARGS` environment variable. Since requesting an
- argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
- if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
- the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
- value of the variable is used.
-
-guitool.<name>.revPrompt::
- Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
- `REVISION` environment variable. In other aspects this option
- is similar to 'argPrompt', and can be used together with it.
-
-guitool.<name>.revUnmerged::
- Show only unmerged branches in the 'revPrompt' subdialog.
- This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
- for things like checkout or reset.
-
-guitool.<name>.title::
- Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
- is the tool name.
-
-guitool.<name>.prompt::
- Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
- the dialog, before subsections for 'argPrompt' and 'revPrompt'.
- The default value includes the actual command.
-
-help.browser::
- Specify the browser that will be used to display help in the
- 'web' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
-
-help.format::
- Override the default help format used by linkgit:git-help[1].
- Values 'man', 'info', 'web' and 'html' are supported. 'man' is
- the default. 'web' and 'html' are the same.
-
-help.autoCorrect::
- Automatically correct and execute mistyped commands after
- waiting for the given number of deciseconds (0.1 sec). If more
- than one command can be deduced from the entered text, nothing
- will be executed. If the value of this option is negative,
- the corrected command will be executed immediately. If the
- value is 0 - the command will be just shown but not executed.
- This is the default.
-
-help.htmlPath::
- Specify the path where the HTML documentation resides. File system paths
- and URLs are supported. HTML pages will be prefixed with this path when
- help is displayed in the 'web' format. This defaults to the documentation
- path of your Git installation.
-
-http.proxy::
- Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
- 'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
- addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
- proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
- attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
- linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
- '[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port]'. This can be overridden
- on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
-
-http.proxyAuthMethod::
- Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
- only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
- (i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
- overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
- Both can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD` environment
- variable. Possible values are:
-+
---
-* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
- assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
- status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
- authentication methods. This is the default.
-* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
-* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
- transmitted to the proxy in clear text
-* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
- of `curl(1)`)
-* `ntlm` - NTLM authentication (compare the --ntlm option of `curl(1)`)
---
+include::config/gitcvs.txt[]
-http.emptyAuth::
- Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password. This
- can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying
- a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
- authentication.
-
-http.delegation::
- Control GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled
- by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7. Set parameter to tell
- the server what it is allowed to delegate when it comes to user
- credentials. Used with GSS/kerberos. Possible values are:
-+
---
-* `none` - Don't allow any delegation.
-* `policy` - Delegates if and only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the
- Kerberos service ticket, which is a matter of realm policy.
-* `always` - Unconditionally allow the server to delegate.
---
+include::config/gitweb.txt[]
+include::config/grep.txt[]
-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::
- 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 used only as
- input unless http.saveCookies is set.
-
-http.saveCookies::
- If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
- http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset.
-
-http.sslVersion::
- The SSL version to use when negotiating an SSL connection, if you
- want to force the default. The available and default version
- depend on whether libcurl was built against NSS or OpenSSL and the
- particular configuration of the crypto library in use. Internally
- this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_VERSION' option; see the libcurl
- documentation for more details on the format of this option and
- for the ssl version supported. Actually the possible values of
- this option are:
-
- - sslv2
- - sslv3
- - tlsv1
- - tlsv1.0
- - tlsv1.1
- - tlsv1.2
- - tlsv1.3
+include::config/gpg.txt[]
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_VERSION` environment variable.
-To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
-explicit http.sslversion option, set `GIT_SSL_VERSION` to the
-empty string.
-
-http.sslCipherList::
- A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
- The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
- NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto
- library in use. Internally this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST'
- option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
- of this list.
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` environment variable.
-To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
-explicit http.sslCipherList option, set `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` to the
-empty string.
-
-http.sslVerify::
- Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
- over HTTPS. Defaults to true. Can be overridden by the
- `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable.
-
-http.sslCert::
- File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
- over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CERT` environment
- variable.
-
-http.sslKey::
- File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing
- over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_KEY` environment
- variable.
-
-http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
- Enable Git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
- OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
- certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the
- `GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED` environment variable.
-
-http.sslCAInfo::
- File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
- fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
- `GIT_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
-
-http.sslCAPath::
- Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer
- 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
- 'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the
- public key. See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'. git will
- exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by
- cURL.
-
-http.sslTry::
- Attempt to use AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers
- when connecting via regular FTP protocol. This might be needed
- if the FTP server requires it for security reasons or you wish
- to connect securely whenever remote FTP server supports it.
- Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification
- errors on misconfigured servers.
-
-http.maxRequests::
- How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
- by the `GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS` environment variable. Default is 5.
-
-http.minSessions::
- The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
- requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
- http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
- value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
-
-http.postBuffer::
- Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
- transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
- For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and
- Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a
- massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is
- sufficient for most requests.
-
-http.lowSpeedLimit, http.lowSpeedTime::
- If the HTTP transfer speed is less than 'http.lowSpeedLimit'
- for longer than 'http.lowSpeedTime' seconds, the transfer is aborted.
- 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 don't
- support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the `GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV`
- environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
-
-http.userAgent::
- The HTTP USER_AGENT string presented to an HTTP server. The default
- value represents the version of the client Git such as git/1.7.1.
- This option allows you to override this value to a more common value
- such as Mozilla/4.0. This may be necessary, for instance, if
- connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set
- of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1).
- Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable.
-
-http.followRedirects::
- Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git
- will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it
- encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as
- errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for
- the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent
- follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as
- the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally
- sufficient. The default is `initial`.
-
-http.<url>.*::
- Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
- For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
- compared to that of the URL, in the following order:
-+
---
-. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
- must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
-
-. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
- This field must match between the config key and the URL. It is
- possible to specify a `*` as part of the host name to match all subdomains
- at this level. `https://*.example.com/` for example would match
- `https://foo.example.com/`, but not `https://foo.bar.example.com/`.
-
-. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`).
- This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
- Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
- default for the scheme before matching.
-
-. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
- path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL
- either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means
- a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only
- match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config
- key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
- key with just path `foo/`).
-
-. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`). If
- the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the
- URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that
- config key will match a URL with any user name (including none),
- but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name.
---
-+
-The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
-a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example,
-if the URL is `https://user@example.com/foo/bar` a config key match of
-`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of
-`https://user@example.com`.
-+
-All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part,
-if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that
-equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly.
-Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are
-matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs
-visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching.
-
-ssh.variant::
- By default, Git determines the command line arguments to use
- based on the basename of the configured SSH command (configured
- using the environment variable `GIT_SSH` or `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` or
- the config setting `core.sshCommand`). If the basename is
- unrecognized, Git will attempt to detect support of OpenSSH
- options by first invoking the configured SSH command with the
- `-G` (print configuration) option and will subsequently use
- OpenSSH options (if that is successful) or no options besides
- the host and remote command (if it fails).
-+
-The config variable `ssh.variant` can be set to override this detection.
-Valid values are `ssh` (to use OpenSSH options), `plink`, `putty`,
-`tortoiseplink`, `simple` (no options except the host and remote command).
-The default auto-detection can be explicitly requested using the value
-`auto`. Any other value is treated as `ssh`. This setting can also be
-overridden via the environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`.
-+
-The current command-line parameters used for each variant are as
-follows:
-+
---
+include::config/gui.txt[]
-* `ssh` - [-p port] [-4] [-6] [-o option] [username@]host command
+include::config/guitool.txt[]
-* `simple` - [username@]host command
+include::config/help.txt[]
-* `plink` or `putty` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] [username@]host command
+include::config/http.txt[]
-* `tortoiseplink` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] -batch [username@]host command
+include::config/i18n.txt[]
---
-+
-Except for the `simple` variant, command-line parameters are likely to
-change as git gains new features.
-
-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
- importing commits from emails or in the gitk graphical history
- browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
- porcelains). See e.g. linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
-
-i18n.logOutputEncoding::
- Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
- running 'git log' and friends.
-
-imap::
- 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.
-
-init.templateDir::
- Specify the directory from which templates will be copied.
- (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
-
-instaweb.browser::
- Specify the program that will be used to browse your working
- repository in gitweb. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
-
-instaweb.httpd::
- The HTTP daemon command-line to start gitweb on your working
- repository. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
-
-instaweb.local::
- If true the web server started by linkgit:git-instaweb[1] will
- be bound to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
-
-instaweb.modulePath::
- The default module path for linkgit:git-instaweb[1] to use
- instead of /usr/lib/apache2/modules. Only used if httpd
- is Apache.
-
-instaweb.port::
- The port number to bind the gitweb httpd to. See
- linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
-
-interactive.singleKey::
- In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
- input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
- Currently this is used by the `--patch` mode of
- linkgit:git-add[1], linkgit:git-checkout[1], linkgit:git-commit[1],
- linkgit:git-reset[1], and linkgit:git-stash[1]. Note that this
- 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
- override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
-
-log.date::
- Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
- Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
- `--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
-
-log.decorate::
- Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
- 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.
- 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
- a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
- i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
- on non-linear history.
-
-log.graphColors::
- A list of colors, separated by commas, that can be used to draw
- history lines in `git log --graph`.
-
-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 linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
- normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
-
-log.showSignature::
- If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
- linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--show-signature`.
-
-log.mailmap::
- If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
- linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`.
