-p|--paginate::
Pipe all output into 'less' (or if set, $PAGER).
+--no-pager::
+ Do not pipe git output into a pager.
+
--git-dir=<path>::
Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by
setting the GIT_DIR environment variable.
+--work-tree=<path>::
+ 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 also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE
+ environment variable and the core.worktree configuration
+ variable.
+
--bare::
- Same as --git-dir=`pwd`.
+ Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR
+ environment is not set, it is set to the current working
+ directory.

FURTHER DOCUMENTATION
---------------------
specifies a path to use instead of the default `.git`
for the base of the repository.
+'GIT_WORK_TREE'::
+ 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 also be controlled by the '--work-tree' command line
+ option and the core.worktree configuration variable.

'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME'::

~~~~~
+'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY'::
+ A number controlling the amount of output shown by
+ the recursive merge strategy. Overrides merge.verbosity.
+ See gitlink:git-merge[1]
+
'GIT_PAGER'::
- This environment variable overrides `$PAGER`.
+ This environment variable overrides `$PAGER`. If it is set
+ to an empty string or to the value "cat", git will not launch
+ a pager.
+
+'GIT_SSH'::
+ If this environment variable is set then gitlink:git-fetch[1]
+ and gitlink:git-push[1] will use this command instead
+ of `ssh` when they need to connect to a remote system.
+ The 'GIT_SSH' command will be given exactly two arguments:
+ the 'username@host' (or just 'host') from the URL and the
+ shell command to execute on that remote system.
++
+To pass options to the program that you want to list in GIT_SSH
+you will need to wrap the program and options into a shell script,
+then set GIT_SSH to refer to the shell script.
++
+Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your
+personal `.ssh/config` file. Please consult your ssh documentation
+for further details.
+
+'GIT_FLUSH'::
+ If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such
+ as git-blame (in incremental mode), git-rev-list, git-log,
+ git-whatchanged, etc., will force a flush of the output stream
+ after each commit-oriented record have been flushed. If this
+ variable is set to "0", the output of these commands will be done
+ using completely buffered I/O. If this environment variable is
+ not set, git will choose buffered or record-oriented flushing
+ based on whether stdout appears to be redirected to a file or not.
'GIT_TRACE'::
If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison
