core.eol::
Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
- files that have the `text` property set. Alternatives are
- 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's native
- line ending. The default value is `native`. See
+ 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.
`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes`. If `$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 lets you edit
messages by launching an editor uses the value of this
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

- linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details.
+ storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. Note
+ that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7]

credential.useHttpPath::
When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
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
made by the linkgit:git-gui[1]. The default is "5".
gui.displayUntracked::
- Determines if linkgit::git-gui[1] shows untracked files
+ Determines if linkgit:git-gui[1] shows untracked files
in the file list. The default is "true".
gui.encoding::
a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
authentication.
+http.extraHeader::
+ Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server. If
+ more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
+ headers. To allow overriding the settings inherited from the system
+ config, an empty value will reset the extra headers to the empty list.
+
http.cookieFile::
- File containing previously stored cookie lines which should be used
+ The pathname of a file containing previously stored cookie lines,
+ which should be used
in the Git http session, if they match the server. The file format
of the file to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers or
- the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see linkgit:curl[1]).
- NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is only used as
+ the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see `curl(1)`).
+ NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is used only as
input unless http.saveCookies is set.
http.saveCookies::
setting is silently ignored if portable keystroke input
is not available; requires the Perl module Term::ReadKey.
+interactive.diffFilter::
+ When an interactive command (such as `git add --patch`) shows
+ a colorized diff, git will pipe the diff through the shell
+ command defined by this configuration variable. The command may
+ mark up the diff further for human consumption, provided that it
+ retains a one-to-one correspondence with the lines in the
+ original diff. Defaults to disabled (no filtering).
+
log.abbrevCommit::
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
"--ignore-submodules" option. The 'git submodule' commands are not
affected by this setting.
+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.
+
+tag.forceSignAnnotated::
+ A boolean to specify whether annotated tags created should be GPG signed.
+ If `--annotate` is specified on the command line, it takes
+ precedence over this option.
+
tag.sort::
This variable controls the sort ordering of tags when displayed by
linkgit:git-tag[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
