`LESS` variable to some other value. Alternately,
these settings can be overridden on a project or
global basis by setting the `core.pager` option.
- Setting `core.pager` has no affect on the `LESS`
+ Setting `core.pager` has no effect on the `LESS`
environment variable behaviour above, so if you want
to override git's default settings this way, you need
to be explicit. For example, to disable the S option
in a backward compatible manner, set `core.pager`
- to `less -+$LESS -FRX`. This will be passed to the
- shell by git, which will translate the final command to
- `LESS=FRSX less -+FRSX -FRX`.
+ to `less -+S`. This will be passed to the shell by
+ git, which will translate the final command to
+ `LESS=FRSX less -+S`.
core.whitespace::
A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
difftool.prompt::
Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
-diff.wordRegex::
- A POSIX Extended Regular Expression used to determine what is a "word"
- when performing word-by-word difference calculations. Character
- sequences that match the regular expression are "words", all other
- characters are *ignorable* whitespace.
-
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
URL and other values found in the `.gitmodules` file. See
linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
+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
