---
+include::config/core.txt[]
-core.fileMode::
- Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
- is to be honored.
-+
-Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
-marked as executable is checked out, or checks out a
-non-executable file with executable bit on.
-linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
-to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
-and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
-+
-A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
-the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
-when created, but later may be made accessible from another
-environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
-CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
-Git for Windows or Eclipse).
-In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
-See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
-+
-The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
-
-core.hideDotFiles::
- (Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose
- name starts with a dot as hidden. If 'dotGitOnly', only the `.git/`
- directory is hidden, but no other files starting with a dot. The
- default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
-
-core.ignoreCase::
- Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
- Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
- like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. For example, if a directory listing
- finds "makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
- it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
- "Makefile".
-+
-The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-+
-Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
-and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
-
-core.precomposeUnicode::
- This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
- When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
- of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
- between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
- (Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
- When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
- which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
-
-core.protectHFS::
- If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
- be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
- Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.protectNTFS::
- If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
- cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
- 8.3 "short" names.
- Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
-
-core.fsmonitor::
- If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
- will identify all files that may have changed since the
- requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
- avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
- See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
-
-core.trustctime::
- If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
- working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
- is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
- crawlers and some backup systems).
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
-
-core.splitIndex::
- If true, the split-index feature of the index will be used.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. False by default.
-
-core.untrackedCache::
- Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the
- index. It will be kept, if this variable is unset or set to
- `keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
- it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
- setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
- properly on your system.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
-
-core.checkStat::
- When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
- structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
- since Git looked at it. When this configuration variable is
- set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
- uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
- the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
- excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
- whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
- is set) and the filesize to be checked.
-+
-There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
-some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
-comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
-same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
-
-core.quotePath::
- Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
- quote "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
- pathname in double-quotes and escaping those characters with
- backslashes in the same way C escapes control characters (e.g.
- `\t` for TAB, `\n` for LF, `\\` for backslash) or bytes with
- values larger than 0x80 (e.g. octal `\302\265` for "micro" in
- UTF-8). If this variable is set to false, bytes higher than
- 0x80 are not considered "unusual" any more. Double-quotes,
- backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
- of the setting of this variable. A simple space character is
- not considered "unusual". Many commands can output pathnames
- completely verbatim using the `-z` option. The default value
- is true.
-
-core.eol::
- Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
- files that have the `text` property set when core.autocrlf is false.
- Alternatives are 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's
- native line ending. The default value is `native`. See
- linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
- conversion.
-
-core.safecrlf::
- If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
- end-of-line conversion is active. Git will verify if a command
- modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
- For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
- same file should yield the original file in the work tree. If
- this is not the case for the current setting of
- `core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file. The variable can
- be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
- irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
-+
-CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
-When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
-CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
-CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git. For text
-files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
-such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
-But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
-conversion can corrupt data.
-+
-If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
-setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
-after committing you still have the original file in your work
-tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
-Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
-appropriately.
-+
-Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
-mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
-files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
-in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
-to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
-converting CRLFs corrupts data.
-+
-Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
-file identical to the original file for a different setting of
-`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one. For
-example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
-and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
-resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
-contained `LF`. However, in both work trees the line endings would be
-consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed. A
-file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
-mechanism.
-
-core.autocrlf::
- Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
- the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
- Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
- working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
- This variable can be set to 'input',
- in which case no output conversion is performed.
-
-core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
- A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
- performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
- `working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
- The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
-
-core.symlinks::
- If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
- contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
- linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
- file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
- symbolic links.
-+
-The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
-will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
-is created.
-
-core.gitProxy::
- A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
- of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
- using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
- in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
- on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
- may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
- the first match wins.
-+
-Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
-(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
-handling).
-+
-The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
-specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
-This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
-proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
-
-core.sshCommand::
- If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
- use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
- connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
- the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
- when the environment variable is set.
-
-core.ignoreStat::
- If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
- changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
- which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
-+
-When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
-the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
-linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
-Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
-+
-This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
-CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
-+
-False by default.
-
-core.preferSymlinkRefs::
- Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
- and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
- This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
- expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
-
-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
- number of commands that require a working directory will be
- disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
-+
-This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
-linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created. By default a
-repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
-false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
-= true).
-
-core.worktree::
- Set the path to the root of the working tree.
- If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
- is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
- This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
- variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
- The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
- the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
- or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
- If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
- --work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the top level
- of your working tree.
-+
-Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
-file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
-from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
-core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
-misconfiguration. Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
-still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
-confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
-read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
-repository's usual working tree).
-
-core.logAllRefUpdates::
- Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
- "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
- SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
- only when the file exists. If this configuration
- variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
- file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
- `refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
- note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
- If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
- created for any ref under `refs/`.
-+
-This information can be used to determine what commit
-was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
-+
-This value is true by default in a repository that has
-a working directory associated with it, and false by
-default in a bare repository.
-
-core.repositoryFormatVersion::
- Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
- version.
-
-core.sharedRepository::
- When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
- several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
- group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
- repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
- group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
- reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
- files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
- user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
- requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
- the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
- others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
- repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
- See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
-
-core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
- If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
- and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
-
-core.compression::
- An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
- -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
- and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
- If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
- such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
-
-core.looseCompression::
- An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
- are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
- compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
- slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
- not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
-
-core.packedGitWindowSize::
- Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
- single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
- your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
- more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
- performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
- memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
- a large number of large pack files.
-+
-Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
-MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
-be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
-not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+include::config/add.txt[]
-core.packedGitLimit::
- Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
- from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
- bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
- regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
-+
-Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 32 TiB (effectively
-unlimited) on 64 bit platforms.
-This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
-the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
- Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
- that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects. By storing the
- entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
- to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
- objects multiple times.
-+
-Default is 96 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
-for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
-You probably do not need to adjust this value.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.bigFileThreshold::
- Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
- attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
- delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
- slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
- larger than this size are always treated as binary.
-+
-Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
-for most projects as source code and other text files can still
-be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
-+
-Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-
-core.excludesFile::
- Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
- describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
- to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and '.git/info/exclude'.
- Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
- If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
- is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
-
-core.askPass::
- Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
- ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
- via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
- environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
- `SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
- prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
- command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
-
-core.attributesFile::
- In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
- '.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
- (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
- way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
- `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not
- set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/attributes` is used instead.
-
-core.hooksPath::
- By default Git will look for your hooks in the
- '$GIT_DIR/hooks' directory. Set this to different path,
- e.g. '/etc/git/hooks', and Git will try to find your hooks in
- that directory, e.g. '/etc/git/hooks/pre-receive' instead of
- in '$GIT_DIR/hooks/pre-receive'.
-+
-The path can be either absolute or relative. A relative path is
-taken as relative to the directory where the hooks are run (see
-the "DESCRIPTION" section of linkgit:githooks[5]).
-+
-This configuration variable is useful in cases where you'd like to
-centrally configure your Git hooks instead of configuring them on a
-per-repository basis, or as a more flexible and centralized
-alternative to having an `init.templateDir` where you've changed
-default hooks.
-
-core.editor::
- Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
- messages by launching an editor use the value of this
- variable when it is set, and the environment variable
- `GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
-
-core.commentChar::
- Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
- messages consider a line that begins with this character
- commented, and removes them after the editor returns
- (default '#').
-+
-If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
-the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
+include::config/alias.txt[]
-core.filesRefLockTimeout::
- The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
- lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
- all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
- retry for 100ms).
+include::config/am.txt[]
-core.packedRefsTimeout::
- The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
- lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
- all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
- retry for 1 second).
+include::config/apply.txt[]
-sequence.editor::
- Text editor used by `git rebase -i` for editing the rebase instruction file.
- The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used.
- It can be overridden by the `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` environment variable.
- When not configured the default commit message editor is used instead.
+include::config/blame.txt[]
-core.pager::
- Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less'). The value
- is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
- is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
- configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
- compile time (usually 'less').
-+
-When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
-(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
-all). If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
-for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`. This will
-be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
-command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
-`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
-long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
-deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
-command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
-`less`. One can specifically activate some flags for particular
-commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
-line truncation only for `git blame`.
-+
-Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
-to `-c`. You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
-another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
-
-core.whitespace::
- A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
- notice. 'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
- highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
- consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
- any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
-+
-* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
- as an error (enabled by default).
-* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
- before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
- error (enabled by default).
-* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
- characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
- default).
-* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
- the line as an error (not enabled by default).
-* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
- (enabled by default).
-* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
- `blank-at-eof`.
-* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
- part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
- does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
- is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
-* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
- is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
- errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
-
-core.fsyncObjectFiles::
- This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
-+
-This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
-data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
-journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
-and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
+include::config/branch.txt[]
-core.preloadIndex::
- Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
-+
-This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
-on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
-relatively high IO latencies. When enabled, Git will do the
-index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
-overlapping IO's. Defaults to true.
-
-core.createObject::
- You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
- a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
- will not overwrite existing objects.
-+
-On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
-Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
-check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
-
-core.notesRef::
- When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
- the given ref. The ref must be fully qualified. If the given
- ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
- notes should be printed.
-+
-This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
-the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
-
-core.commitGraph::
- If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
- to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to false. See
- linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
-
-core.useReplaceRefs::
- If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
- option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
- linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
-
-core.multiPackIndex::
- Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
- single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
- multi-pack-index design document].
-
-core.sparseCheckout::
- Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
- linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
-
-core.abbrev::
- Set the length object names are abbreviated to. If
- unspecified or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
- computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
- in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
- abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
- The minimum length is 4.
-
-add.ignoreErrors::
-add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
- Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
- added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the `--ignore-errors`
- option of linkgit:git-add[1]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,
- as it does not follow the usual naming convention for configuration
- variables.
-
-alias.*::
- Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
- after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
- "git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid
- confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that
- hide existing Git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by
- spaces, the usual shell quoting and escaping is supported.
- A quote pair or a backslash can be used to quote them.
-+
-If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point,
-it will be treated as a shell command. For example, defining
-"alias.new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD", the invocation
-"git new" is equivalent to running the shell command
-"gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD". Note that shell commands will be
-executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
-not necessarily be the current directory.
-`GIT_PREFIX` is set as returned by running 'git rev-parse --show-prefix'
-from the original current directory. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
-
-am.keepcr::
- If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
- with parameter `--keep-cr`. In this case git-mailsplit will
- not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overridden
- by giving `--no-keep-cr` from the command line.
- See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].
-
-am.threeWay::
- By default, `git am` will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
- set to true, this setting tells `git am` to fall back on 3-way merge if
- the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
- we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the `--3way`
- option from the command line). Defaults to `false`.
- See linkgit:git-am[1].
-
-apply.ignoreWhitespace::
- When set to 'change', tells 'git apply' to ignore changes in
- whitespace, in the same way as the `--ignore-space-change`
- option.
- When set to one of: no, none, never, false tells 'git apply' to
- respect all whitespace differences.
- See linkgit:git-apply[1].
-
-apply.whitespace::
- Tells 'git apply' how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
- as the `--whitespace` option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
-
-blame.blankBoundary::
- Show blank commit object name for boundary commits in
- linkgit:git-blame[1]. This option defaults to false.
-
-blame.coloring::
- This determines the coloring scheme to be applied to blame
- output. It can be 'repeatedLines', 'highlightRecent',
- or 'none' which is the default.
-
-blame.date::
- Specifies the format used to output dates in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- If unset the iso format is used. For supported values,
- see the discussion of the `--date` option at linkgit:git-log[1].
-
-blame.showEmail::
- Show the author email instead of author name in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- This option defaults to false.
-
-blame.showRoot::
- Do not treat root commits as boundaries in linkgit:git-blame[1].
- This option defaults to false.
-
-branch.autoSetupMerge::
- Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
- so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from the
- starting point branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
- this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
- and `--no-track` options. The valid settings are: `false` -- no
- automatic setup is done; `true` -- automatic setup is done when the
- starting point is a remote-tracking branch; `always` --
- automatic setup is done when the starting point is either a
- local branch or remote-tracking
- branch. This option defaults to true.
-
-branch.autoSetupRebase::
- When a new branch is created with 'git branch' or 'git checkout'
- that tracks another branch, this variable tells Git to set
- up pull to rebase instead of merge (see "branch.<name>.rebase").
- When `never`, rebase is never automatically set to true.
- When `local`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
- other local branches.
- When `remote`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
- remote-tracking branches.
- When `always`, rebase will be set to true for all tracking
- branches.
- See "branch.autoSetupMerge" for details on how to set up a
- branch to track another branch.
- This option defaults to never.
-
-branch.sort::
- This variable controls the sort ordering of branches when displayed by
- linkgit:git-branch[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
- value of this variable will be used as the default.
- See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] field names for valid values.
-
-branch.<name>.remote::
- When on branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' and 'git push'
- which remote to fetch from/push to. The remote to push to
- may be overridden with `remote.pushDefault` (for all branches).
- The remote to push to, for the current branch, may be further
- overridden by `branch.<name>.pushRemote`. If no remote is
- configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
- `origin` for fetching and `remote.pushDefault` for pushing.
- Additionally, `.` (a period) is the current local repository
- (a dot-repository), see `branch.<name>.merge`'s final note below.
-
-branch.<name>.pushRemote::
- When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for
- pushing. It also overrides `remote.pushDefault` for pushing
- from branch <name>. When you pull from one place (e.g. your
- upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own publishing
- repository), you would want to set `remote.pushDefault` to
- specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this
- option to override it for a specific branch.
-
-branch.<name>.merge::
- Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
- for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull'/'git rebase' which
- branch to merge and can also affect 'git push' (see push.default).
- When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
- refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
- handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
- ref which is fetched from the remote given by
- "branch.<name>.remote".
- The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
- 'git fetch') to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
- this option, 'git pull' defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
- Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
- If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from
- another branch in the local repository, you can point
- branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the relative path
- setting `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
-
-branch.<name>.mergeOptions::
- Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and
- supported options are the same as those of linkgit:git-merge[1], but
- option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
- supported.
+include::config/browser.txt[]
-branch.<name>.rebase::
- When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
- instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when
- "git pull" is run. See "pull.rebase" for doing this in a non
- branch-specific manner.
-+
-When `merges`, pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase'
-so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see
-linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details).
-+
-When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
-so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
-by running 'git pull'.
-+
-When the value is `interactive`, the rebase is run in interactive mode.
-+
-*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
-it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
-for details).
-
-branch.<name>.description::
- Branch description, can be edited with
- `git branch --edit-description`. Branch description is
- automatically added in the format-patch cover letter or
- request-pull summary.
-
-browser.<tool>.cmd::
- Specify the command to invoke the specified browser. The
- specified command is evaluated in shell with the URLs passed
- as arguments. (See linkgit:git-web{litdd}browse[1].)
-
-browser.<tool>.path::
- Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
- browse HTML help (see `-w` option in linkgit:git-help[1]) or a
- working repository in gitweb (see linkgit:git-instaweb[1]).
-
-checkout.defaultRemote::
- When you run 'git checkout <something>' and only have one
- remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
- tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. This stops working as soon
- as you have more than one remote with a '<something>'
- reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a
- preferred remote that should always win when it comes to
- disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to
- `origin`.
-+
-Currently this is used by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when 'git checkout
-<something>' will checkout the '<something>' branch on another remote,
-and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when 'git worktree add' refers to a
-remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like
-commands or functionality in the future.
-
-checkout.optimizeNewBranch::
- Optimizes the performance of "git checkout -b <new_branch>" when
- using sparse-checkout. When set to true, git will not update the
- repo based on the current sparse-checkout settings. This means it
- will not update the skip-worktree bit in the index nor add/remove
- files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse checkout
- settings nor will it show the local changes.
-
-clean.requireForce::
- A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f,
- -i or -n. Defaults to true.
-
-color.advice::
- A boolean to enable/disable color in hints (e.g. when a push
- failed, see `advice.*` for a list). May be set to `always`,
- `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors
- are used only when the error output goes to a terminal. If
- unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.advice.hint::
- Use customized color for hints.
-
-color.blame.highlightRecent::
- This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending
- on age of the line.
-+
-This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and date settings,
-starting and ending with a color, the dates should be set from oldest to newest.
-The metadata will be colored given the colors if the the line was introduced
-before the given timestamp, overwriting older timestamped colors.
-+
-Instead of an absolute timestamp relative timestamps work as well, e.g.
-2.weeks.ago is valid to address anything older than 2 weeks.
-+
-It defaults to 'blue,12 month ago,white,1 month ago,red', which colors
-everything older than one year blue, recent changes between one month and
-one year old are kept white, and lines introduced within the last month are
-colored red.
-
-color.blame.repeatedLines::
- Use the customized color for the part of git-blame output that
- is repeated meta information per line (such as commit id,
- author name, date and timezone). Defaults to cyan.
-
-color.branch::
- A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
- linkgit:git-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
- `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
- only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
- value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.branch.<slot>::
- Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of
- `current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch),
- `remote` (a remote-tracking branch in refs/remotes/),
- `upstream` (upstream tracking branch), `plain` (other
- refs).
-
-color.diff::
- Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
- If this is set to `always`, linkgit:git-diff[1],
- linkgit:git-log[1], and linkgit:git-show[1] will use color
- for all patches. If it is set to `true` or `auto`, those
- commands will only use color when output is to the terminal.
- If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by
- default).
-+
-This does not affect linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or the
-'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands. Can be overridden on the
-command line with the `--color[=<when>]` option.
-
-color.diff.<slot>::
- Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>` specifies
- which part of the patch to use the specified color, and is one
- of `context` (context text - `plain` is a historical synonym),
- `meta` (metainformation), `frag`
- (hunk header), 'func' (function in hunk header), `old` (removed lines),
- `new` (added lines), `commit` (commit headers), `whitespace`
- (highlighting whitespace errors), `oldMoved` (deleted lines),
- `newMoved` (added lines), `oldMovedDimmed`, `oldMovedAlternative`,
- `oldMovedAlternativeDimmed`, `newMovedDimmed`, `newMovedAlternative`
- `newMovedAlternativeDimmed` (See the '<mode>'
- setting of '--color-moved' in linkgit:git-diff[1] for details),
- `contextDimmed`, `oldDimmed`, `newDimmed`, `contextBold`,
- `oldBold`, and `newBold` (see linkgit:git-range-diff[1] for details).
-
-color.decorate.<slot>::
- Use customized color for 'git log --decorate' output. `<slot>` is one
- of `branch`, `remoteBranch`, `tag`, `stash` or `HEAD` for local
- branches, remote-tracking branches, tags, stash and HEAD, respectively
- and `grafted` for grafted commits.
-
-color.grep::
- When set to `always`, always highlight matches. When `false` (or
- `never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only
- when the output is written to the terminal. If unset, then the
- value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.grep.<slot>::
- Use customized color for grep colorization. `<slot>` specifies which
- part of the line to use the specified color, and is one of
-+
---
-`context`;;
- non-matching text in context lines (when using `-A`, `-B`, or `-C`)
-`filename`;;
- filename prefix (when not using `-h`)
-`function`;;
- function name lines (when using `-p`)
-`lineNumber`;;
- line number prefix (when using `-n`)
-`column`;;
- column number prefix (when using `--column`)
-`match`;;
- matching text (same as setting `matchContext` and `matchSelected`)
-`matchContext`;;
- matching text in context lines
-`matchSelected`;;
- matching text in selected lines
-`selected`;;
- non-matching text in selected lines
-`separator`;;
- separators between fields on a line (`:`, `-`, and `=`)
- and between hunks (`--`)
---
+include::config/checkout.txt[]
-color.interactive::
- When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts
- and displays (such as those used by "git-add --interactive" and
- "git-clean --interactive"). When false (or `never`), never.
- When set to `true` or `auto`, use colors only when the output is
- to the terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is
- used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.interactive.<slot>::
- Use customized color for 'git add --interactive' and 'git clean
- --interactive' output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help`
- or `error`, for four distinct types of normal output from
- interactive commands.
-
-color.pager::
- A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
- use (default is true).
-
-color.push::
- A boolean to enable/disable color in push errors. May be set to
- `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which
- case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
- If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.push.error::
- Use customized color for push errors.
-
-color.remote::
- If set, keywords at the start of the line are highlighted. The
- keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success", and are
- matched case-insensitively. May be set to `always`, `false` (or
- `never`) or `auto` (or `true`). If unset, then the value of
- `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.remote.<slot>::
- Use customized color for each remote keyword. `<slot>` may be
- `hint`, `warning`, `success` or `error` which match the
- corresponding keyword.
-
-color.showBranch::
- A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
- linkgit:git-show-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
- `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
- only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
- value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.status::
- A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
- linkgit:git-status[1]. May be set to `always`,
- `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
- only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
- value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.status.<slot>::
- Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
- one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
- `added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
- `changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
- `untracked` (files which are not tracked by Git),
- `branch` (the current branch),
- `nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting
- to red),
- `localBranch` or `remoteBranch` (the local and remote branch names,
- respectively, when branch and tracking information is displayed in the
- status short-format), or
- `unmerged` (files which have unmerged changes).
-
-color.transport::
- A boolean to enable/disable color when pushes are rejected. May be
- set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which
- case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
- If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
-
-color.transport.rejected::
- Use customized color when a push was rejected.
-
-color.ui::
- This variable determines the default value for variables such
- as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
- per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
- configuration to set a default for the `--color` option. Set it
- to `false` or `never` if you prefer Git commands not to use
- color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration
- or the `--color` option. Set it to `always` if you want all
- output not intended for machine consumption to use color, to
- `true` or `auto` (this is the default since Git 1.8.4) if you
- want such output to use color when written to the terminal.
-
-column.ui::
- Specify whether supported commands should output in columns.
- This variable consists of a list of tokens separated by spaces
- or commas:
-+
-These options control when the feature should be enabled
-(defaults to 'never'):
-+
---
-`always`;;
- always show in columns
-`never`;;
- never show in columns
-`auto`;;
- show in columns if the output is to the terminal
---
-+
-These options control layout (defaults to 'column'). Setting any
-of these implies 'always' if none of 'always', 'never', or 'auto' are
-specified.
-+
---
-`column`;;
- fill columns before rows
-`row`;;
- fill rows before columns
-`plain`;;
- show in one column
---
-+
-Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option (defaults
-to 'nodense'):
-+
---
-`dense`;;
- make unequal size columns to utilize more space
-`nodense`;;
- make equal size columns
---
+include::config/clean.txt[]
-column.branch::
- Specify whether to output branch listing in `git branch` in columns.
- See `column.ui` for details.
-
-column.clean::
- Specify the layout when list items in `git clean -i`, which always
- shows files and directories in columns. See `column.ui` for details.
-
-column.status::
- Specify whether to output untracked files in `git status` in columns.
- See `column.ui` for details.
-
-column.tag::
- Specify whether to output tag listing in `git tag` in columns.
- See `column.ui` for details.
-
-commit.cleanup::
- This setting overrides the default of the `--cleanup` option in
- `git commit`. See linkgit:git-commit[1] for details. Changing the
- default can be useful when you always want to keep lines that begin
- with comment character `#` in your log message, in which case you
- would do `git config commit.cleanup whitespace` (note that you will
- have to remove the help lines that begin with `#` in the commit log
- template yourself, if you do this).
-
-commit.gpgSign::
-
- A boolean to specify whether all commits should be GPG signed.
- Use of this option when doing operations such as rebase can
- result in a large number of commits being signed. It may be
- convenient to use an agent to avoid typing your GPG passphrase
- several times.
-
-commit.status::
- A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
- commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
- message. Defaults to true.
-
-commit.template::
- Specify the pathname of a file to use as the template for
- new commit messages.
-
-commit.verbose::
- A boolean or int to specify the level of verbose with `git commit`.
- See linkgit:git-commit[1].
-
-credential.helper::
- Specify an external helper to be called when a username or
- password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
- storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. Note
- that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]
- for details.
+include::config/color.txt[]
-credential.useHttpPath::
- When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
- or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
- linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information.
-
-credential.username::
- If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username
- by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and
- linkgit:gitcredentials[7].
-
-credential.<url>.*::
- Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to
- some credentials. For example "credential.https://example.com.username"
- would set the default username only for https connections to
- example.com. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details on how URLs are
- matched.
-
-credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP::
- Tell git-credential-cache--daemon to ignore SIGHUP, instead of quitting.
-
-completion.commands::
- This is only used by git-completion.bash to add or remove
- commands from the list of completed commands. Normally only
- porcelain commands and a few select others are completed. You
- can add more commands, separated by space, in this
- variable. Prefixing the command with '-' will remove it from
- the existing list.
-
-include::diff-config.txt[]
-
-difftool.<tool>.path::
- Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
- your tool is not in the PATH.
+include::config/column.txt[]
-difftool.<tool>.cmd::
- Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
- The specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
- variables available: 'LOCAL' is set to the name of the temporary
- file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and 'REMOTE'
- is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
- of the diff post-image.
-
-difftool.prompt::
- Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
-
-fastimport.unpackLimit::
- If the number of objects imported by linkgit:git-fast-import[1]
- is below this limit, then the objects will be unpacked into
- loose object files. However if the number of imported objects
- equals or exceeds this limit then the pack will be stored as a
- pack. Storing the pack from a fast-import can make the import
- operation complete faster, especially on slow filesystems. If
- not set, the value of `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-
-fetch.recurseSubmodules::
- This option can be either set to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.
- Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to
- unconditionally recurse into submodules when set to true or to not
- recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand' (the default
- value), fetch and pull will only recurse into a populated submodule
- when its superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
- reference.
-
-fetch.fsckObjects::
- If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched
- objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's
- checked. Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
-
-fetch.fsck.<msg-id>::
- Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
- the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for details.
-
-fetch.fsck.skipList::
- Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
- the `fsck.skipList` documentation for details.
-
-fetch.unpackLimit::
- If the number of objects fetched over the Git native
- transfer is below this
- limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
- files. However if the number of received objects equals or
- exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
- a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
- pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
- especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-
-fetch.prune::
- If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune`
- option was given on the command line. See also `remote.<name>.prune`
- and the PRUNING section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-fetch.pruneTags::
- If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the
- `refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*` refspec was provided when pruning,
- if not set already. This allows for setting both this option
- and `fetch.prune` to maintain a 1=1 mapping to upstream
- refs. See also `remote.<name>.pruneTags` and the PRUNING
- section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-fetch.output::
- Control how ref update status is printed. Valid values are
- `full` and `compact`. Default value is `full`. See section
- OUTPUT in linkgit:git-fetch[1] for detail.
-
-fetch.negotiationAlgorithm::
- Control how information about the commits in the local repository is
- sent when negotiating the contents of the packfile to be sent by the
- server. Set to "skipping" to use an algorithm that skips commits in an
- effort to converge faster, but may result in a larger-than-necessary
- packfile; The default is "default" which instructs Git to use the default algorithm
- that never skips commits (unless the server has acknowledged it or one
- of its descendants).
- Unknown values will cause 'git fetch' to error out.
-+
-See also the `--negotiation-tip` option for linkgit:git-fetch[1].
-
-format.attach::
- Enable multipart/mixed attachments as the default for
- 'format-patch'. The value can also be a double quoted string
- which will enable attachments as the default and set the
- value as the boundary. See the --attach option in
- linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.from::
- Provides the default value for the `--from` option to format-patch.
- Accepts a boolean value, or a name and email address. If false,
- format-patch defaults to `--no-from`, using commit authors directly in
- the "From:" field of patch mails. If true, format-patch defaults to
- `--from`, using your committer identity in the "From:" field of patch
- mails and including a "From:" field in the body of the patch mail if
- different. If set to a non-boolean value, format-patch uses that
- value instead of your committer identity. Defaults to false.
-
-format.numbered::
- A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch
- subjects. It defaults to "auto" which enables it only if there
- is more than one patch. It can be enabled or disabled for all
- messages by setting it to "true" or "false". See --numbered
- option in linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.headers::
- Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
- by mail. See linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.to::
-format.cc::
- Additional recipients to include in a patch to be submitted
- by mail. See the --to and --cc options in
- linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
-
-format.subjectPrefix::
- The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
- subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
-
-format.signature::
- The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
- the Git version number. Use this variable to change that default.
- Set this variable to the empty string ("") to suppress
- signature generation.
-
-format.signatureFile::
- Works just like format.signature except the contents of the
- file specified by this variable will be used as the signature.
-
-format.suffix::
- The default for format-patch is to output files with the suffix
- `.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
- include the dot if you want it).
-
-format.pretty::
- The default pretty format for log/show/whatchanged command,
- See linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1],
- linkgit:git-whatchanged[1].
-
-format.thread::
- The default threading style for 'git format-patch'. Can be
- a boolean value, or `shallow` or `deep`. `shallow` threading
- makes every mail a reply to the head of the series,
- where the head is chosen from the cover letter, the
- `--in-reply-to`, and the first patch mail, in this order.
- `deep` threading makes every mail a reply to the previous one.
- A true boolean value is the same as `shallow`, and a false
- value disables threading.
-
-format.signOff::
- A boolean value which lets you enable the `-s/--signoff` option of
- format-patch by default. *Note:* Adding the Signed-off-by: line to a
- patch should be a conscious act and means that you certify you have
- the rights to submit this work under the same open source license.
- Please see the 'SubmittingPatches' document for further discussion.
-
-format.coverLetter::
- A boolean that controls whether to generate a cover-letter when
- 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.
-
-format.useAutoBase::
- A boolean value which lets you enable the `--base=auto` option of
- format-patch by default.
-
-filter.<driver>.clean::
- The command which is used to convert the content of a worktree
- file to a blob upon checkin. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
- details.
-
-filter.<driver>.smudge::
- The command which is used to convert the content of a blob
- object to a worktree file upon checkout. See
- linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
-
-fsck.<msg-id>::
- During fsck git may find issues with legacy data which
- wouldn't be generated by current versions of git, and which
- wouldn't be sent over the wire if `transfer.fsckObjects` was
- set. This feature is intended to support working with legacy
- repositories containing such data.
-+
-Setting `fsck.<msg-id>` will be picked up by linkgit:git-fsck[1], but
-to accept pushes of such data set `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` instead, or
-to clone or fetch it set `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`.
-+
-The rest of the documentation discusses `fsck.*` for brevity, but the
-same applies for the corresponding `receive.fsck.*` and
-`fetch.<msg-id>.*`. variables.
-+
-Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
-`receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>` variables will not
-fall back on the `fsck.<msg-id>` configuration if they aren't set. To
-uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
-all three of them they must all set to the same values.
-+
-When `fsck.<msg-id>` is set, errors can be switched to warnings and
-vice versa by configuring the `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 `fsck.missingEmail = ignore` will
-hide that issue.
-+
-In general, it is better to enumerate existing objects with problems
-with `fsck.skipList`, instead of listing the kind of breakages these
-problematic objects share to be ignored, as doing the latter will
-allow new instances of the same breakages go unnoticed.
-+
-Setting an unknown `fsck.<msg-id>` value will cause fsck to die, but
-doing the same for `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`
-will only cause git to warn.
-
-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.
-+
-Like `fsck.<msg-id>` this variable has corresponding
-`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variants.
-+
-Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
-`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variables will not
-fall back on the `fsck.skipList` configuration if they aren't set. To
-uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
-all three of them they must all set to the same values.
-
-gc.aggressiveDepth::
- The depth parameter used in the delta compression
- algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
- to 50.
-
-gc.aggressiveWindow::
- The window size parameter used in the delta compression
- algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
- to 250.
-
-gc.auto::
- When there are approximately more than this many loose
- objects in the repository, `git gc --auto` will pack them.
- Some Porcelain commands use this command to perform a
- light-weight garbage collection from time to time. The
- default value is 6700. Setting this to 0 disables it.
-
-gc.autoPackLimit::
- When there are more than this many packs that are not
- marked with `*.keep` file in the repository, `git gc
- --auto` consolidates them into one larger pack. The
- default value is 50. Setting this to 0 disables it.
-
-gc.autoDetach::
- Make `git gc --auto` return immediately and run in background
- if the system supports it. Default is true.
-
-gc.bigPackThreshold::
- If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when
- `git gc` is run. This is very similar to `--keep-base-pack`
- except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
- just the base pack. Defaults to zero. Common unit suffixes of
- 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
-+
-Note that if the number of kept packs is more than gc.autoPackLimit,
-this configuration variable is ignored, all packs except the base pack
-will be repacked. After this the number of packs should go below
-gc.autoPackLimit and gc.bigPackThreshold should be respected again.
-
-gc.writeCommitGraph::
- If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
- linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using linkgit:git-gc[1]
- '--auto' the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
- required. Default is false. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]
- for details.

-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
- transports such as HTTP. This variable determines whether
- 'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`
- to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
- boolean value. The default is `true`.
-
-gc.pruneExpire::
- When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
- Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
- "now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
- unreachable objects immediately, or "never" may be used to
- suppress pruning. This feature helps prevent corruption when
- 'git gc' runs concurrently with another process writing to the
- repository; see the "NOTES" section of linkgit:git-gc[1].
-
-gc.worktreePruneExpire::
- When 'git gc' is run, it calls
- 'git worktree prune --expire 3.months.ago'.
- This config variable can be used to set a different grace
- period. The value "now" may be used to disable the grace
- period and prune `$GIT_DIR/worktrees` immediately, or "never"
- may be used to suppress pruning.
-
-gc.reflogExpire::
-gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
- 'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
- this time; defaults to 90 days. The value "now" expires all
- entries immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration
- altogether. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
- "refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
- the refs that match the <pattern>.
-
-gc.reflogExpireUnreachable::
-gc.<pattern>.reflogExpireUnreachable::
- 'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
- this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
- defaults to 30 days. The value "now" expires all entries
- immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration altogether.
- With "<pattern>" (e.g. "refs/stash")
- in the middle, the setting applies only to the refs that
- match the <pattern>.
-
-gc.rerereResolved::
- Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
- kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
- You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
- The default is 60 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
-
-gc.rerereUnresolved::
- Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
- kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
- You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
- The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
-
-gitcvs.commitMsgAnnotation::
- Append this string to each commit message. Set to empty string
- to disable this feature. Defaults to "via git-CVS emulator".
-
-gitcvs.enabled::
- Whether the CVS server interface is enabled for this repository.
- See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-
-gitcvs.logFile::
- Path to a log file where the CVS server interface well... logs
- various stuff. See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-
-gitcvs.usecrlfattr::
- If true, the server will look up the end-of-line conversion
- attributes for files to determine the `-k` modes to use. If
- the attributes force Git to treat a file as text,
- the `-k` mode will be left blank so CVS clients will
- treat it as text. If they suppress text conversion, the file
- will be set with '-kb' mode, which suppresses any newline munging
- the client might otherwise do. If the attributes do not allow
- the file type to be determined, then `gitcvs.allBinary` is
- used. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
-
-gitcvs.allBinary::
- This is used if `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` does not resolve
- the correct '-kb' mode to use. If true, all
- unresolved files are sent to the client in
- mode '-kb'. This causes the client to treat them
- as binary files, which suppresses any newline munging it
- otherwise might do. Alternatively, if it is set to "guess",
- then the contents of the file are examined to decide if
- it is binary, similar to `core.autocrlf`.
-
-gitcvs.dbName::
- Database used by git-cvsserver to cache revision information
- derived from the Git repository. The exact meaning depends on the
- used database driver, for SQLite (which is the default driver) this
- is a filename. Supports variable substitution (see
- linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details). May not contain semicolons (`;`).
- Default: '%Ggitcvs.%m.sqlite'
-
-gitcvs.dbDriver::
- Used Perl DBI driver. You can specify any available driver
- for this here, but it might not work. git-cvsserver is tested
- with 'DBD::SQLite', reported to work with 'DBD::Pg', and
- reported *not* to work with 'DBD::mysql'. Experimental feature.
- May not contain double colons (`:`). Default: 'SQLite'.
- See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-
-gitcvs.dbUser, gitcvs.dbPass::
- Database user and password. Only useful if setting `gitcvs.dbDriver`,
- since SQLite has no concept of database users and/or passwords.
- 'gitcvs.dbUser' supports variable substitution (see
- linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
-
-gitcvs.dbTableNamePrefix::
- Database table name prefix. Prepended to the names of any
- database tables used, allowing a single database to be used
- for several repositories. Supports variable substitution (see
- linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details). Any non-alphabetic
- characters will be replaced with underscores.
-
-All gitcvs variables except for `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` and
-`gitcvs.allBinary` can also be specified as
-'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method'
-is one of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given
-access method.

gitweb.description::
be used as a legacy synonym for `gpg.openpgp.program`. The default
value for `gpg.x509.program` is "gpgsm".
-gui.commitMsgWidth::
- Defines how wide the commit message window is in the
- linkgit:git-gui[1]. "75" is the default.
-
-gui.diffContext::
- Specifies how many context lines should be used in calls to diff
- made by the linkgit:git-gui[1]. The default is "5".
-
-gui.displayUntracked::
- Determines if linkgit:git-gui[1] shows untracked files
- in the file list. The default is "true".
-
-gui.encoding::
- Specifies the default encoding to use for displaying of
- file contents in linkgit:git-gui[1] and linkgit:gitk[1].
- It can be overridden by setting the 'encoding' attribute
- for relevant files (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
- If this option is not set, the tools default to the
- locale encoding.
-
-gui.matchTrackingBranch::
- Determines if new branches created with linkgit:git-gui[1] should
- default to tracking remote branches with matching names or
- not. Default: "false".
-
-gui.newBranchTemplate::
- Is used as suggested name when creating new branches using the
- linkgit:git-gui[1].
-
-gui.pruneDuringFetch::
- "true" if linkgit:git-gui[1] should prune remote-tracking branches when
- performing a fetch. The default value is "false".
-
-gui.trustmtime::
- Determines if linkgit:git-gui[1] should trust the file modification
- timestamp or not. By default the timestamps are not trusted.
-
-gui.spellingDictionary::
- Specifies the dictionary used for spell checking commit messages in
- the linkgit:git-gui[1]. When set to "none" spell checking is turned
- off.
-
-gui.fastCopyBlame::
- If true, 'git gui blame' uses `-C` instead of `-C -C` for original
- location detection. It makes blame significantly faster on huge
- repositories at the expense of less thorough copy detection.
-
-gui.copyBlameThreshold::
- Specifies the threshold to use in 'git gui blame' original location
- detection, measured in alphanumeric characters. See the
- linkgit:git-blame[1] manual for more information on copy detection.
-
-gui.blamehistoryctx::
- Specifies the radius of history context in days to show in
- linkgit:gitk[1] for the selected commit, when the `Show History
- Context` menu item is invoked from 'git gui blame'. If this
- variable is set to zero, the whole history is shown.

guitool.<name>.cmd::
Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
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
--
-pull.ff::
- By default, Git does not create an extra merge commit when merging
- a commit that is a descendant of the current commit. Instead, the
- tip of the current branch is fast-forwarded. When set to `false`,
- this variable tells Git to create an extra merge commit in such
- a case (equivalent to giving the `--no-ff` option from the command
- line). When set to `only`, only such fast-forward merges are
- allowed (equivalent to giving the `--ff-only` option from the
- command line). This setting overrides `merge.ff` when pulling.
-
-pull.rebase::
- When true, rebase branches on top of the fetched branch, instead
- of merging the default branch from the default remote when "git
- pull" is run. See "branch.<name>.rebase" for setting this on a
- per-branch basis.
-+
-When `merges`, pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase'
-so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see
-linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details).
-+
-When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
-so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
-by running 'git pull'.
-+
-When the value is `interactive`, the rebase is run in interactive mode.
-+
-*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
-it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
-for details).
-
-pull.octopus::
- The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
- at once.
-
-pull.twohead::
- The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
-
-push.default::
- Defines the action `git push` should take if no refspec is
- explicitly given. Different values are well-suited for
- specific workflows; for instance, in a purely central workflow
- (i.e. the fetch source is equal to the push destination),
- `upstream` is probably what you want. Possible values are:
-+
---
-
-* `nothing` - do not push anything (error out) unless a refspec is
- explicitly given. This is primarily meant for people who want to
- avoid mistakes by always being explicit.
-
-* `current` - push the current branch to update a branch with the same
- name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central
- workflows.
-
-* `upstream` - push the current branch back to the branch whose
- changes are usually integrated into the current branch (which is
- called `@{upstream}`). This mode only makes sense if you are
- pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from
- (i.e. central workflow).
-
-* `tracking` - This is a deprecated synonym for `upstream`.
-
-* `simple` - in centralized workflow, work like `upstream` with an
- added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch's name is
- different from the local one.
-+
-When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally
-pull from, work as `current`. This is the safest option and is suited
-for beginners.
-+
-This mode has become the default in Git 2.0.
-
-* `matching` - push all branches having the same name on both ends.
- This makes the repository you are pushing to remember the set of
- branches that will be pushed out (e.g. if you always push 'maint'
- and 'master' there and no other branches, the repository you push
- to will have these two branches, and your local 'maint' and
- 'master' will be pushed there).
-+
-To use this mode effectively, you have to make sure _all_ the
-branches you would push out are ready to be pushed out before
-running 'git push', as the whole point of this mode is to allow you
-to push all of the branches in one go. If you usually finish work
-on only one branch and push out the result, while other branches are
-unfinished, this mode is not for you. Also this mode is not
-suitable for pushing into a shared central repository, as other
-people may add new branches there, or update the tip of existing
-branches outside your control.
-+
-This used to be the default, but not since Git 2.0 (`simple` is the
-new default).
-
---
-
-push.followTags::
- If set to true enable `--follow-tags` option by default. You
- 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.pushOption::
- When no `--push-option=<option>` argument is given from the
- command line, `git push` behaves as if each <value> of
- this variable is given as `--push-option=<value>`.
-+
-This is a multi-valued variable, and an empty value can be used in a
-higher priority configuration file (e.g. `.git/config` in a
-repository) to clear the values inherited from a lower priority
-configuration files (e.g. `$HOME/.gitconfig`).
-+
---
-
-Example:
-
-/etc/gitconfig
- push.pushoption = a
- push.pushoption = b
-
-~/.gitconfig
- push.pushoption = c
-
-repo/.git/config
- push.pushoption =
- push.pushoption = b
-
-This will result in only b (a and c are cleared).

---
-
-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'.
+include::push-config.txt[]
include::rebase-config.txt[]
-receive.advertiseAtomic::
- By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
- capability to its clients. If you don't want to advertise this
- capability, set this variable to false.
-
-receive.advertisePushOptions::
- When set to true, git-receive-pack will advertise the push options
- capability to its clients. False by default.
-
-receive.autogc::
- By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
- receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
- it by setting this variable to false.
-
-receive.certNonceSeed::
- By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
- will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
- a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
- key.
-
-receive.certNonceSlop::
- When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
- "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
- repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
- found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
- hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
- side to include). This may allow writing checks in
- `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of
- checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
- that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
- decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
- can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
-
-receive.fsckObjects::
- If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
- objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
- Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
-
-receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
- Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
- linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
- details.
-
-receive.fsck.skipList::
- Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
- linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
- linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
- details.
-
-receive.keepAlive::
- After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
- produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
- the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
- With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
- any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
- send a short keepalive packet. The default is 5 seconds; set
- to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
-
-receive.unpackLimit::
- If the number of objects received in a push is below this
- limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
- files. However if the number of received objects equals or
- exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
- a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
- pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
- especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
- `transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
-
-receive.maxInputSize::
- If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
- limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
- accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
- is unlimited.
-
-receive.denyDeletes::
- If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
- the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
-
-receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
- If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
- deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
-
-receive.denyCurrentBranch::
- If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
- to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
- Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
- out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
- print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
- proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
- message. Defaults to "refuse".
-+
-Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
-tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is
-intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
-accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
-that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
-developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
-+
-By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
-the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
-hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5].
-
-receive.denyNonFastForwards::
- If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
- not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
- even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
- set when initializing a shared repository.
-
-receive.hideRefs::
- This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
- only to `receive-pack` (and so affects pushes, but not fetches).
- An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by `git push` is
- rejected.
-
-receive.updateServerInfo::
- If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
- after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
-
-receive.shallowUpdate::
- If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs
- require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected.
+include::receive-config.txt[]
remote.pushDefault::
The remote to push to by default. Overrides
`$GIT_DIR`, e.g. if "rerere" was previously used in the
repository.
-sendemail.identity::
- A configuration identity. When given, causes values in the
- 'sendemail.<identity>' subsection to take precedence over
- values in the 'sendemail' section. The default identity is
- the value of `sendemail.identity`.
-
-sendemail.smtpEncryption::
- See linkgit:git-send-email[1] for description. Note that this
- setting is not subject to the 'identity' mechanism.
-
-sendemail.smtpssl (deprecated)::
- Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.smtpEncryption = ssl'.
-
-sendemail.smtpsslcertpath::
- Path to ca-certificates (either a directory or a single file).
- Set it to an empty string to disable certificate verification.
-
-sendemail.<identity>.*::

- will happen. If the value is 0 or undefined, send all messages in
- one connection.
- See also the `--batch-size` option of linkgit:git-send-email[1].

+include::sendemail-config.txt[]
+
+sequence.editor::
+ Text editor used by `git rebase -i` for editing the rebase instruction file.
+ The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used.
+ It can be overridden by the `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` environment variable.
+ When not configured the default commit message editor is used instead.

option will show diffstat of the stash entry. Defaults to true.
See description of 'show' command in linkgit:git-stash[1].
-submodule.<name>.url::
- The URL for a submodule. This variable is copied from the .gitmodules
- file to the git config via 'git submodule init'. The user can change
- the configured URL before obtaining the submodule via 'git submodule
- update'. If neither submodule.<name>.active or submodule.active are
- set, the presence of this variable is used as a fallback to indicate
- whether the submodule is of interest to git commands.
- See linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
-
-submodule.<name>.update::
- The method by which a submodule is updated by 'git submodule update',
- which is the only affected command, others such as
- 'git checkout --recurse-submodules' are unaffected. It exists for
- historical reasons, when 'git submodule' was the only command to
- interact with submodules; settings like `submodule.active`
- and `pull.rebase` are more specific. It is populated by
- `git submodule init` from the linkgit:gitmodules[5] file.
- See description of 'update' command in linkgit:git-submodule[1].
-
-submodule.<name>.branch::
- The remote branch name for a submodule, used by `git submodule
- update --remote`. Set this option to override the value found in
- the `.gitmodules` file. See linkgit:git-submodule[1] and
- linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
-
-submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules::
- This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this
- submodule. It can be overridden by using the --[no-]recurse-submodules
- command-line option to "git fetch" and "git pull".
- This setting will override that from in the linkgit:gitmodules[5]
- file.
-
-submodule.<name>.ignore::
- Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
- a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
- modified (but it will nonetheless show up in the output of status and
- commit when it has been staged), "dirty" will ignore all changes
- to the submodules work tree and
- takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
- recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
- let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
- Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
- submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
- This setting overrides any setting made in .gitmodules for this submodule,
- both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
- "--ignore-submodules" option. The 'git submodule' commands are not
- affected by this setting.
-
-submodule.<name>.active::
- Boolean value indicating if the submodule is of interest to git
- commands. This config option takes precedence over the
- submodule.active config option. See linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for
- details.
-
-submodule.active::
- A repeated field which contains a pathspec used to match against a
- submodule's path to determine if the submodule is of interest to git
- commands. See linkgit:gitsubmodules[7] for details.
-
-submodule.recurse::
- Specifies if commands recurse into submodules by default. This
- applies to all commands that have a `--recurse-submodules` option,
- except `clone`.
- Defaults to false.
-
-submodule.fetchJobs::
- Specifies how many submodules are fetched/cloned at the same time.
- A positive integer allows up to that number of submodules fetched
- in parallel. A value of 0 will give some reasonable default.
- If unset, it defaults to 1.
-
-submodule.alternateLocation::
- Specifies how the submodules obtain alternates when submodules are
- cloned. Possible values are `no`, `superproject`.
- By default `no` is assumed, which doesn't add references. When the
- value is set to `superproject` the submodule to be cloned computes
- its alternates location relative to the superprojects alternate.
-
-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`.

was run. I.e., `upload-pack` will feed input intended for
`pack-objects` to the hook, and expects a completed packfile on
stdout.
-
-uploadpack.allowFilter::
- If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
- clone and partial fetch object filtering.
+
Note that this configuration variable is ignored if it is seen in the
repository-level config (this is a safety measure against fetching from
untrusted repositories).
+uploadpack.allowFilter::
+ If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
+ clone and partial fetch object filtering.
+
uploadpack.allowRefInWant::
If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support the `ref-in-want`
feature of the protocol version 2 `fetch` command. This feature
