Variables
~~~~~~~~~
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 true by default in a repository that has
+a working directory associated with it, and false by
+default in a bare repository.
core.repositoryFormatVersion::
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
database directly (where the "http://" and "rsync://" protocols
count as direct access).
+core.packedGitWindowSize::
+ Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
+ single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
+ your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
+ more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
+ performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
+ memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
+ a large number of large pack files.
++
+Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
+MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
+be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
+not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+core.packedGitLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
+ from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
+ bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
+ regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
++
+Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 8 GiB on 64 bit platforms.
+This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
+the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
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 remote branch
- to be merged.
+ 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.
+
+color.branch::
+ A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
+ gitlink:git-branch[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.
-pager.color::
- A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
- use (default is true).
+color.branch.<slot>::
+ Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of
+ `current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch),
+ `remote` (a tracking branch in refs/remotes/), `plain` (other
+ refs), or `reset` (the normal terminal color). The value for
+ these configuration variables can be one of: `normal`, `bold`,
+ `dim`, `ul`, `blink`, `reverse`, `reset`, `black`, `red`,
+ `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, or `white`.
-diff.color::
+color.diff::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use
colors only when the output is to the terminal.
-diff.color.<slot>::
+color.diff.<slot>::
Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>`
specifies which part of the patch to use the specified
color, and is one of `plain` (context text), `meta`
(metainformation), `frag` (hunk header), `old` (removed
- lines), or `new` (added lines). The value for these
- configuration variables can be one of: `normal`, `bold`,
- `dim`, `ul`, `blink`, `reverse`, `reset`, `black`,
- `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, or
- `white`.
+ lines), or `new` (added lines). The values of these
+ variables may be specified as in color.branch.<slot>.
+
+color.pager::
+ A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
+ use (default is true).
+
+color.status::
+ 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.
+
+color.status.<slot>::
+ Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
+ one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
+ `added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
+ `changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
+ or `untracked` (files which are not tracked by git). The values of
+ these variables may be specified as in color.branch.<slot>.
diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
+gc.reflogexpire::
+ `git reflog expire` removes reflog entries older than
+ this time; defaults to 90 days.
+
+gc.reflogexpireunreachable::
+ `git reflog expire` removes reflog entries older than
+ this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
+ defaults to 30 days.
+
+gc.rerereresolved::
+ Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
+ kept for this many days when `git rerere gc` is run.
+ The default is 60 days. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].
+
+gc.rerereunresolved::
+ Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
+ kept for this many days when `git rerere gc` is run.
+ The default is 15 days. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].
+
gitcvs.enabled::
Whether the cvs pserver interface is enabled for this repository.
See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
porcelains). See e.g. gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
+i18n.logOutputEncoding::
+ Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
+ running `git-log` and friends.
+
+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.
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, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
in gitlink:git-imap-send[1].
-receive.denyNonFastforwads::
+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
