+ Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the

Determines which stat fields to match between the index

Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for

format-patch is invoked, but in addition can be set to "auto", to
generate a cover-letter only when there's more than one patch.
+format.outputDirectory::
+ Set a custom directory to store the resulting files instead of the
+ current working directory.

The command which is used to convert the content of a worktree
file to a blob upon checkin. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for

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.

Use this custom program instead of "gpg" found on $PATH when
making or verifying a PGP signature. The program must support the
http.proxy::
Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',

- `curl(1)`). This can be overridden on a per-remote basis; see
- remote.<name>.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)`)
+--
+
+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.cookieFile::
File containing previously stored cookie lines which should be used
with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
by the 'GIT_SSL_CAPATH' environment variable.
+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
larger than 2 GB.

+remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod::
+ For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the method to use for

+
remote.<name>.fetch::
The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-fetch[1]. See
linkgit:git-fetch[1].
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME' and 'GIT_COMMITTER_NAME'
environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
+user.useConfigOnly::
+ Instruct Git to avoid trying to guess defaults for 'user.email'
+ and 'user.name', and instead retrieve the values only from the
+ configuration. For example, if you have multiple email addresses
+ and would like to use a different one for each repository, then
+ with this configuration option set to `true` in the global config
