pushNonFastForward::
- Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] refuses
- non-fast-forward refs.
+ Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable
+ 'pushNonFFCurrent', 'pushNonFFDefault', and
+ 'pushNonFFMatching' simultaneously.
+ pushNonFFCurrent::
+ Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
+ non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
+ pushNonFFDefault::
+ Advice to set 'push.default' to 'upstream' or 'current'
+ when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed 'matching
+ refs' by default (i.e. you did not provide an explicit
+ refspec, and no 'push.default' configuration was set)
+ and it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
+ pushNonFFMatching::
+ Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
+ 'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
+ specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
+ it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.

http.proxy::
- Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy'
- environment variable (see linkgit:curl[1]). This can be overridden

http.cookiefile::

line. Possible values are:
+
* `nothing` - do not push anything.
-* `matching` - push all matching branches.
- All branches having the same name in both ends are considered to be
- matching. This is the default.
+* `matching` - push all branches having the same name in both ends.
+ This is for those who prepare all the branches into a publishable
+ shape and then push them out with a single command. It is not
+ appropriate for pushing into a repository shared by multiple users,
+ since locally stalled branches will attempt a non-fast forward push
+ if other users updated the branch. This is the default.
+* `simple` - like `upstream`, but refuses to push if the upstream
+ branch's name is different from the local one. This is the safest
+ option and is well-suited for beginners.
* `upstream` - push the current branch to its upstream branch.
-* `tracking` - deprecated synonym for `upstream`.
+ With this, `git push` will update the same remote ref as the one which
+ is merged by `git pull`, making `push` and `pull` symmetrical.
+ See "branch.<name>.merge" for how to configure the upstream branch.
* `current` - push the current branch to a branch of the same name.
+ +
+ The `simple`, `current` and `upstream` modes are for those who want to
+ push out a single branch after finishing work, even when the other
+ branches are not yet ready to be pushed out. If you are working with
+ other people to push into the same shared repository, you would want
+ to use one of these.
