This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
+core.alternateRefsCommand::
+ When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
+ execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
+ first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
+ hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produced by `git for-each-ref
+ --format='%(objectname)'`).
++
+Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
+value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
+the command above in a shell script).
+
+core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
+ When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
+ with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
+ linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with
+ whitespace. If `core.alternateRefsCommand` is set, setting
+ `core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
+
core.bare::
If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
working directory associated with it. If this is the case a
with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
by the `GIT_SSL_CAPATH` environment variable.
+http.sslBackend::
+ Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
+ This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
+ backend at runtime.
+
+http.schannelCheckRevoke::
+ Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
+ when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
+ unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
+ and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
+ certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
+ setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
+
+http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
+ As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
+ certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
+ override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
+ by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
+ when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
+ unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
+
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
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
in linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
+index.threads::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when loading the index.
+ This is meant to reduce index load time on multiprocessor machines.
+ Specifying 0 or 'true' will cause Git to auto-detect the number of
+ CPU's and set the number of threads accordingly. Specifying 1 or
+ 'false' will disable multithreading. Defaults to 'true'.
+
index.version::
Specify the version with which new index files should be
initialized. This does not affect existing repositories.
