- If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point,

- "git new" is equivalent to running the shell command

apply.whitespace::
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
commit.template::
Specify a file to use as the template for new commit messages.
+diff.autorefreshindex::
+ When using `git diff` to compare with work tree
+ files, do not consider stat-only change as changed.
+ Instead, silently run `git update-index --refresh` to
+ update the cached stat information for paths whose
+ contents in the work tree match the contents in the
+ index. This option defaults to true. Note that this
+ affects only `git diff` Porcelain, and not lower level
+ `diff` commands, such as `git diff-files`.

diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
detection; equivalent to the git diff option '-l'.
A value of 0 means no limit. Defaults to 0.
pack.deltaCacheLimit::
- The maxium size of a delta, that is cached in
+ The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. Defaults to 1000.
+pack.threads::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
+ delta matches. This requires that gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]
+ be compiled with pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a
+ warning. This is meant to reduce packing time on multiprocessor
+ machines. The required amount of memory for the delta search window
+ is however multiplied by the number of threads.
+
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
