core.sharedRepository::
- If true, the repository is made shareable between several users
- in a group (making sure all the files and objects are group-writable).
- See gitlink:git-init-db[1]. False by default.
+ 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). See gitlink:git-init-db[1]. False by default.
core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
If true, git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1].
+pager.color::
+ A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
+ use (default is true).
+
diff.color::
When true (or `always`), always use colors in patch.
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `auto`, use
The default set of branches for gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
See gitlink:git-show-branch[1].
+status.color::
+ A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
+ gitlink:git-status[1]. May be set to `true` (or `always`),
+ `false` (or `never`) or `auto`, in which case colors are used
+ only when the output is to a terminal. Defaults to false.
+
+status.color.<slot>::
+ Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
+ one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
+ `updated` (files which are updated but not committed),
+ `changed` (files which are changed but not updated in the index),
+ or `untracked` (files which are not tracked by git). The values of
+ these variables may be specified as in diff.color.<slot>.

tar.umask::
- By default, git-link:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
+ By default, gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] sets file and directories modes
to 0666 or 0777. While this is both useful and acceptable for projects
such as the Linux Kernel, it might be excessive for other projects.
With this variable, it becomes possible to tell
- git-link:git-tar-tree[1] to apply a specific umask to the modes above.
+ gitlink:git-tar-tree[1] to apply a specific umask to the modes above.
The special value "user" indicates that the user's current umask will
be used. This should be enough for most projects, as it will lead to
- the same permissions as git-link:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
+ the same permissions as gitlink:git-checkout[1] would use. The default
value remains 0, which means world read-write.
user.email::
imap::
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
in gitlink:git-imap-send[1].
+
+receive.denyNonFastforwads::
+ 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.
