GIT COMMANDS
------------
If either of these environment variables is set then 'git fetch'
and 'git push' will use the specified command instead of 'ssh'
when they need to connect to a remote system.
- The command will be given exactly two or four arguments: the
- 'username@host' (or just 'host') from the URL and the shell
- command to execute on that remote system, optionally preceded by
- `-p` (literally) and the 'port' from the URL when it specifies
- something other than the default SSH port.
+ The command-line parameters passed to the configured command are
+ determined by the ssh variant. See `ssh.variant` option in
+ linkgit:git-config[1] for details.
+
+
`$GIT_SSH_COMMAND` takes precedence over `$GIT_SSH`, and is interpreted
by the shell, which allows additional arguments to be included.
+
Alternatively, if the variable is set to an absolute path
(starting with a '/' character), Git will interpret this
-as a file path and will try to write the trace messages
-into it.
+as a file path and will try to append the trace messages
+to it.
+
Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or
"false" (case insensitive) disables trace messages.
+`GIT_TRACE_FSMONITOR`::
+ Enables trace messages for the filesystem monitor extension.
+ See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
+
`GIT_TRACE_PACK_ACCESS`::
Enables trace messages for all accesses to any packs. For each
access, the pack file name and an offset in the pack is
variable.
See `GIT_TRACE` for available trace output options.
+`GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA`::
+ When a curl trace is enabled (see `GIT_TRACE_CURL` above), do not dump
+ data (that is, only dump info lines and headers).
+
+`GIT_REDACT_COOKIES`::
+ This can be set to a comma-separated list of strings. When a curl trace
+ is enabled (see `GIT_TRACE_CURL` above), whenever a "Cookies:" header
+ sent by the client is dumped, values of cookies whose key is in that
+ list (case-sensitive) are redacted.
+
`GIT_LITERAL_PATHSPECS`::
Setting this variable to `1` will cause Git to treat all
pathspecs literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example,
which feed potentially-untrusted URLS to git commands. See
linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
+`GIT_PROTOCOL`::
+ For internal use only. Used in handshaking the wire protocol.
+ Contains a colon ':' separated list of keys with optional values
+ 'key[=value]'. Presence of unknown keys and values must be
+ ignored.
+
`GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS`::
If set to `0`, Git will complete any requested operation without
performing any optional sub-operations that require taking a lock.
`2>&1`, standard error will be redirected to the same handle as
standard output.
+`GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS` (deprecated)::
+ If set to `yes`, print an ellipsis following an
+ (abbreviated) SHA-1 value. This affects indications of
+ detached HEADs (linkgit:git-checkout[1]) and the raw
+ diff output (linkgit:git-diff[1]). Printing an
+ ellipsis in the cases mentioned is no longer considered
+ adequate and support for it is likely to be removed in the
+ foreseeable future (along with the variable).
