to the value of `$HOME` and "{tilde}user/" to the specified user's
home directory. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
+core.askpass::
+ Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
+ ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
+ via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_ASKPASS'
+ environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
+ 'SSH_ASKPASS' environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
+ prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
+ command line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
+
core.editor::
Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that lets you edit
messages by launching an editor uses the value of this
will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
"copy", it will detect copies, as well.
+diff.ignoreSubmodules::
+ Sets the default value of --ignore-submodules. Note that this
+ affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level 'diff'
+ commands such as 'git diff-files'. 'git checkout' also honors
+ this setting when reporting uncommitted changes.
+
diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
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.
+
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
ignored if portable keystroke input is not available.
log.date::
- Set default date-time mode for the log command. Setting log.date
- value is similar to using 'git log'\'s --date option. The value is one of the
- following alternatives: {relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short}.
- See linkgit:git-log[1].
+ 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. Possible values are `relative`, `local`,
+ `default`, `iso`, `rfc`, and `short`; see linkgit:git-log[1]
+ for details.
log.decorate::
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
rebase. False by default.
+rebase.autosquash::
+ If set to true enable '--autosquash' option by default.
+
receive.autogc::
By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
URL and other values found in the `.gitmodules` file. See
linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
+submodule.<name>.ignore::
+ Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
+ a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
+ modified, "dirty" will ignore all changes to the submodules work tree and
+ takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
+ recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
+ let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
+ Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
+ submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
+ This setting overrides any setting made in .gitmodules for this submodule,
+ both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
+ "--ignore-submodules" option.
+
tar.umask::
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
