be turned off by prefixing them with `no` or `no-` (e.g., `noreverse`,
`no-ul`, etc).

+An empty color string produces no color effect at all. This can be used
+to avoid coloring specific elements without disabling color entirely.

For git's pre-defined color slots, the attributes are meant to be reset
at the beginning of each item in the colored output. So setting
`color.decorate.branch` to `black` will paint that branch name in a
"`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
only when the file exists. If this configuration

This information can be used to determine what commit
was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
Make `git gc --auto` return immediately and run in background
if the system supports it. Default is true.
+gc.logExpiry::
+ If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` won't run
+ unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old. Default is
+ "1.day". See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
+ value.

gc.packRefs::
Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
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::
+ Depending on the value of the environment variables `GIT_SSH` or
+ `GIT_SSH_COMMAND`, or the config setting `core.sshCommand`, Git
+ auto-detects whether to adjust its command-line parameters for use
+ with plink or tortoiseplink, as opposed to the default (OpenSSH).
++
+The config variable `ssh.variant` can be set to override this auto-detection;
+valid values are `ssh`, `plink`, `putty` or `tortoiseplink`. Any other value
+will be treated as normal ssh. This setting can be overridden via the
+environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`.
+
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
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.

its alternates location relative to the superprojects alternate.
-submodule.alternateErrorStrategy
+submodule.alternateErrorStrategy::
Specifies how to treat errors with the alternates for a submodule
as computed via `submodule.alternateLocation`. Possible values are
`ignore`, `info`, `die`. Default is `die`.
