+fsck.<msg-id>::
+ Allows overriding the message type (error, warn or ignore) of a
+ specific message ID such as `missingEmail`.
++
+For convenience, fsck prefixes the error/warning with the message ID,
+e.g. "missingEmail: invalid author/committer line - missing email" means
+that setting `fsck.missingEmail = ignore` will hide that issue.
++
+This feature is intended to support working with legacy repositories
+which cannot be repaired without disruptive changes.
+
+fsck.skipList::
+ The path to a sorted list of object names (i.e. one SHA-1 per
+ line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should
+ be ignored. This feature is useful when an established project
+ should be accepted despite early commits containing errors that
+ can be safely ignored such as invalid committer email addresses.
+ Note: corrupt objects cannot be skipped with this setting.

+ 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

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',
- 'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see
- `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
If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset.
+http.sslVersion::
+ The SSL version to use when negotiating an SSL connection, if you
+ want to force the default. The available and default version
+ depend on whether libcurl was built against NSS or OpenSSL and the
+ particular configuration of the crypto library in use. Internally
+ this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_VERSION' option; see the libcurl
+ documentation for more details on the format of this option and
+ for the ssl version supported. Actually the possible values of
+ this option are:
+
+ - sslv2
+ - sslv3
+ - tlsv1
+ - tlsv1.0
+ - tlsv1.1
+ - tlsv1.2
+
++
+Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_VERSION' environment variable.
+To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
+explicit http.sslversion option, set 'GIT_SSL_VERSION' to the
+empty string.
+
http.sslCipherList::
A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
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
log.date::
Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
- `--date` option. Possible values are `relative`, `local`,
- `default`, `iso`, `rfc`, and `short`; see linkgit:git-log[1]
- for details.
+ `--date` option. See linkgit:git-log[1] for details.
log.decorate::
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
This is the same as the log commands '--decorate' option.
+log.follow::
+ If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
+ a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
+ i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
+ on non-linear history.
+
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.
mergetool.prompt::
Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
+notes.mergeStrategy::
+ Which merge strategy to choose by default when resolving notes
+ conflicts. Must be one of `manual`, `ours`, `theirs`, `union`, or
+ `cat_sort_uniq`. Defaults to `manual`. See "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES"
+ section of linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on each strategy.
+
+notes.<name>.mergeStrategy::
+ Which merge strategy to choose when doing a notes merge into
+ refs/notes/<name>. This overrides the more general
+ "notes.mergeStrategy". See the "NOTES MERGE STRATEGIES" section in
+ linkgit:git-notes[1] for more information on the available strategies.
+
notes.displayRef::
The (fully qualified) refname from which to show notes when
showing commit messages. The value of this variable can be set
When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
"notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
the target commit already has a note. Must be one of

may override this configuration at time of push by specifying
'--no-follow-tags'.
+push.gpgSign::
+ May be set to a boolean value, or the string 'if-asked'. A true
+ value causes all pushes to be GPG signed, as if '--signed' is
+ passed to linkgit:git-push[1]. The string 'if-asked' causes
+ pushes to be signed if the server supports it, as if
+ '--signed=if-asked' is passed to 'git push'. A false value may
+ override a value from a lower-priority config file. An explicit
+ command-line flag always overrides this config option.
+
+push.recurseSubmodules::
+ Make sure all submodule commits used by the revisions to be pushed
+ are available on a remote-tracking branch. If the value is 'check'
+ then Git will verify that all submodule commits that changed in the
+ revisions to be pushed are available on at least one remote of the
+ submodule. If any commits are missing, the push will be aborted and
+ exit with non-zero status. If the value is 'on-demand' then all
+ submodules that changed in the revisions to be pushed will be
+ pushed. If on-demand was not able to push all necessary revisions
+ it will also be aborted and exit with non-zero status. If the value
+ is 'no' then default behavior of ignoring submodules when pushing
+ is retained. You may override this configuration at time of push by
+ specifying '--recurse-submodules=check|on-demand|no'.
rebase.stat::
Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
successful rebase might result in non-trivial conflicts.
Defaults to false.
+rebase.missingCommitsCheck::
+ If set to "warn", git rebase -i will print a warning if some
+ commits are removed (e.g. a line was deleted), however the
+ rebase will still proceed. If set to "error", it will print
+ the previous warning and stop the rebase, 'git rebase
+ --edit-todo' can then be used to correct the error. If set to
+ "ignore", no checking is done.
+ To drop a commit without warning or error, use the `drop`
+ command in the todo-list.
+ Defaults to "ignore".
+
+rebase.instructionFormat
+ A format string, as specified in linkgit:git-log[1], to be used for
+ the instruction list during an interactive rebase. The format will automatically
+ have the long commit hash prepended to the format.
+
receive.advertiseAtomic::
By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
capability to its clients. If you don't want to this capability
Defaults to false. If not set, the value of `transfer.fsckObjects`
is used instead.
+receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
+ When `receive.fsckObjects` is set to true, errors can be switched
+ to warnings and vice versa by configuring the `receive.fsck.<msg-id>`
+ setting where the `<msg-id>` is the fsck message ID and the value
+ is one of `error`, `warn` or `ignore`. For convenience, fsck prefixes
+ the error/warning with the message ID, e.g. "missingEmail: invalid
+ author/committer line - missing email" means that setting
+ `receive.fsck.missingEmail = ignore` will hide that issue.
++
+This feature is intended to support working with legacy repositories
+which would not pass pushing when `receive.fsckObjects = true`, allowing
+the host to accept repositories with certain known issues but still catch
+other issues.
+
+receive.fsck.skipList::
+ The path to a sorted list of object names (i.e. one SHA-1 per
+ line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should
+ be ignored. This feature is useful when an established project
+ should be accepted despite early commits containing errors that

If the number of objects received in a push is below this
limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
set when initializing a shared repository.
receive.hideRefs::
- String(s) `receive-pack` uses to decide which refs to omit
- from its initial advertisement. Use more than one
- definitions to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that
- are under the hierarchies listed on the value of this
- variable is excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git
- push`, and an attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by
- `git push` is rejected.
+ This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies

+ For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the method to use for
+ authenticating against the proxy in use (probably set in
+ `remote.<name>.proxy`). See `http.proxyAuthMethod`.

not honor these settings.
+stash.showPatch::
+ If this is set to true, the `git stash show` command without an
+ option will show the stash in patch form. Defaults to false.
+ See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
+
+stash.showStat::
+ If this is set to true, the `git stash show` command without an
+ option will show diffstat of the stash. Defaults to true.
+ See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
+
submodule.<name>.path::

The path within this project and URL for a submodule. These
Defaults to false.
transfer.hideRefs::
- This variable can be used to set both `receive.hideRefs`
- and `uploadpack.hideRefs` at the same time to the same
- values. See entries for these other variables.
+ String(s) `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` use to decide which
+ refs to omit from their initial advertisements. Use more than
+ one definition to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that is
+ under the hierarchies listed in the value of this variable is
+ excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git push` or `git
+ fetch`. See `receive.hideRefs` and `uploadpack.hideRefs` for
+ program-specific versions of this config.
++
+You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry,
+explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden.
+If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones
+(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones).
++
+If a namespace is in use, the namespace prefix is stripped from each
+reference before it is matched against `transfer.hiderefs` patterns.
+For example, if `refs/heads/master` is specified in `transfer.hideRefs` and
+the current namespace is `foo`, then `refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master`
+is omitted from the advertisements but `refs/heads/master` and
+`refs/namespaces/bar/refs/heads/master` are still advertised as so-called
+"have" lines. In order to match refs before stripping, add a `^` in front of
+the ref name. If you combine `!` and `^`, `!` must be specified first.
transfer.unpackLimit::
When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
`false`.
uploadpack.hideRefs::
- String(s) `upload-pack` uses to decide which refs to omit
- from its initial advertisement. Use more than one
- definitions to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that
- are under the hierarchies listed on the value of this
- variable is excluded, and is hidden from `git ls-remote`,
- `git fetch`, etc. An attempt to fetch a hidden ref by `git
- fetch` will fail. See also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
+ This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
+ only to `upload-pack` (and so affects only fetches, not pushes).

+ also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant::
When `uploadpack.hideRefs` is in effect, allow `upload-pack`
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
+ along with a name, Git will prompt you to set up an email before
+ making new commits in a newly cloned repository.
+ Defaults to `false`.

user.signingKey::
If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
