core.fileMode::
If false, the executable bit differences between the index and
the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
- See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
+ See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
++
+The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
+will probe and set core.fileMode false if appropriate when the
+repository is created.
core.ignoreCygwinFSTricks::
This option is only used by Cygwin implementation of Git. If false,
is true, in which case ignoreCygwinFSTricks is ignored as Cygwin's
POSIX emulation is required to support core.filemode.
+core.ignorecase::
+ If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable
+ git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
+ like FAT. For example, if a directory listing finds
+ "makefile" when git expects "Makefile", git will assume
+ it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
+ "Makefile".
++
+The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
+will probe and set core.ignorecase true if appropriate when the repository
+is created.
+
core.trustctime::
If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
working copy are ignored; useful when the inode change time
contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support

+The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]

core.gitProxy::
A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
core.excludesfile::
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
- linkgit:gitignore[5].
+ of files which are not meant to be tracked. "{tilde}/" is expanded
+ to the value of `$HOME` and "{tilde}user/" to the specified user's
+ home directory. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
core.editor::
Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that lets you edit
messages by launching an editor uses the value of this
variable when it is set, and the environment variable
- `GIT_EDITOR` is not set. The order of preference is
- `GIT_EDITOR` environment, `core.editor`, `VISUAL` and
- `EDITOR` environment variables and then finally `vi`.
+ `GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
core.pager::
The command that git will use to paginate output. Can
consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
+
-* `trailing-space` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
+* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
as an error (enabled by default).
* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
error (enabled by default).
* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with 8 or more
space characters as an error (not enabled by default).
+* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
+ (enabled by default).
+* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
+ `blank-at-eof`.
* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
+core.notesRef::
+ When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
+ the given ref. This ref is expected to contain files named
+ after the full SHA-1 of the commit they annotate.
++
+If such a file exists in the given ref, the referenced blob is read, and
+appended to the commit message, separated by a "Notes:" line. If the
+given ref itself does not exist, it is not an error, but means that no
+notes should be printed.
++
+This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and can be overridden by
+the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable.
+
add.ignore-errors::
Tells 'git-add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the '--ignore-errors'
commit.template::
Specify a file to use as the template for new commit messages.
+ "{tilde}/" is expanded to the value of `$HOME` and "{tilde}user/" to the
+ specified user's home directory.
diff.autorefreshindex::
When using 'git-diff' to compare with work tree
How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
by the 'GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS' environment variable. Default is 5.
+http.postBuffer::
+ Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
+ transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
+ For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and
+ Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a
+ massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is
+ sufficient for most requests.
+
http.lowSpeedLimit, http.lowSpeedTime::
If the HTTP transfer speed is less than 'http.lowSpeedLimit'
for longer than 'http.lowSpeedTime' seconds, the transfer is aborted.
Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
rebase. False by default.
+receive.autogc::
+ By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
+ receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
+ it by setting this variable to false.
+
receive.fsckObjects::
If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
receive.denyNonFastForwards::
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,
+ not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,

set when initializing a shared repository.
+receive.updateserverinfo::
+ If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
+ after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
+
remote.<name>.url::
The URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-fetch[1] or
linkgit:git-push[1].

If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating

The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
