false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
= true).
+core.worktree::
+ Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
+ used in combination with repositories found automatically in
+ a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
+ This can be overriden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
+ variable and the '--work-tree' command line option.
+
core.logAllRefUpdates::
Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
"$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>", by appending the new and old
and might match multiple refs in the .git/refs/ tree. 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.
+
+core.loosecompression::
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
- are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib and git default. 0 means no
+ 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.
-
-core.legacyheaders::
- A boolean which
- changes the format of loose objects so that they are more
- efficient to pack and to send out of the repository over git
- native protocol, since v1.4.2. However, loose objects
- written in the new format cannot be read by git older than
- that version; people fetching from your repository using
- older versions of git over dumb transports (e.g. http)
- will also be affected.
-+
-To let git use the new loose object format, you have to
-set core.legacyheaders to false.
+ slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
+ not set, defaults to 0 (best speed).
core.packedGitWindowSize::
Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.excludeFile::
+ In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
+ '.git/info/exclude', git looks into this file for patterns
+ of files which are not meant to be tracked. See
+ gitlink:gitignore[5].
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1].
+branch.autosetupmerge::
+ Tells `git-branch` and `git-checkout` to setup new branches
+ so that gitlink:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from that
+ remote branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
+ this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
+ and `--no-track` options. This option defaults to false.
+
branch.<name>.remote::
When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` which remote to fetch.
If this option is not given, `git fetch` defaults to remote "origin".
branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the special setting
`.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+clean.requireForce::
+ A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f or -n. Defaults
+ to false.
+
color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
gitlink:git-branch[1]. May be set to `true` (or `always`),
`.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
include the dot if you want it).
+gc.aggressiveWindow::
+ The window size parameter used in the delta compression
+ algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
+ to 10.
+
gc.packrefs::
`git gc` does not run `git pack-refs` in a bare repository by
default so that older dumb-transport clients can still fetch
causes the client to treat all files as binary files which suppresses
any newline munging it otherwise might do. A work-around for the
fact that there is no way yet to set single files to mode '-kb'.
+
+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
+ gitlink: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 gitlink: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
+ gitlink:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
+
+All gitcvs variables except for 'gitcvs.allbinary' can also specifed
+as 'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method' is one
+of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given access
+method.
+
http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment
conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes. Level 5 and
above outputs debugging information. The default is level 2.
+merge.<driver>.name::
+ Defines a human readable name for a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.driver::
+ Defines the command that implements a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.recursive::
+ Names a low-level merge driver to be used when
+ performing an internal merge between common ancestors.
+ See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
pack.window::
The size of the window used by gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] when no
window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
+pack.depth::
+ The maximum delta depth used by gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] when no
+ maximum depth is given on the command line. Defaults to 50.
+
+pack.compression::
+ An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects
+ 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.
+
+pack.deltaCacheSize::
+ The maxium memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
+ gitlink:git-pack-objects[1].
+ A value of 0 means no limit. Defaults to 0.
+
+pack.deltaCacheLimit::
+ The maxium size of a delta, that is cached in
+ gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. Defaults to 1000.
+
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
user.email::
Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
- Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL' and 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL'
- environment variables. See gitlink:git-commit-tree[1].
+ Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL', 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL', and
