and the `core.editor` option in linkgit:git-config[1].
'GIT_SSH'::
- If this environment variable is set then 'git fetch'
- and 'git push' will use this command instead
- of 'ssh' when they need to connect to a remote system.
- The '$GIT_SSH' command will be given exactly two or
- four arguments: the 'username@host' (or just 'host')
- from the URL and the shell command to execute on that
- remote system, optionally preceded by '-p' (literally) and
- the 'port' from the URL when it specifies something other
- than the default SSH port.
+'GIT_SSH_COMMAND'::
+ If either of these environment variables is set then 'git fetch'
+ and 'git push' will use the specified command instead of 'ssh'
+ when they need to connect to a remote system.
+ The command will be given exactly two or four arguments: the
+ 'username@host' (or just 'host') from the URL and the shell
+ command to execute on that remote system, optionally preceded by
+ '-p' (literally) and the 'port' from the URL when it specifies
+ something other than the default SSH port.
+
-To pass options to the program that you want to list in GIT_SSH
-you will need to wrap the program and options into a shell script,
-then set GIT_SSH to refer to the shell script.
+`$GIT_SSH_COMMAND` takes precedence over `$GIT_SSH`, and is interpreted
+by the shell, which allows additional arguments to be included.
+`$GIT_SSH` on the other hand must be just the path to a program
+(which can be a wrapper shell script, if additional arguments are
+needed).
+
Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your
personal `.ssh/config` file. Please consult your ssh documentation
and read the password from its STDOUT. See also the 'core.askpass'
option in linkgit:git-config[1].
+ 'GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT'::
+ If this environment variable is set to `0`, git will not prompt
+ on the terminal (e.g., when asking for HTTP authentication).
+
'GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM'::
Whether to skip reading settings from the system-wide
`$(prefix)/etc/gitconfig` file. This environment variable can
