Split the overly large Documentation/config.txt file into million
little pieces.  This potentially allows each individual piece
included into the manual page of the command it affects more easily.

pushNonFFCurrent::
Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
pushNonFFMatching::
Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
pushAlreadyExists::
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
pushFetchFirst::
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
object we do not have.
pushNeedsForce::
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
statusHints::
Show directions on how to proceed from the current
state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in
the template shown when writing commit messages in
linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.

alias.*::
Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
"git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid
confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that
hide existing Git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by
spaces, the usual shell quoting and escaping is supported.
A quote pair or a backslash can be used to quote them.
+
If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point,
it will be treated as a shell command. For example, defining
"alias.new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD", the invocation
"git new" is equivalent to running the shell command
"gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD". Note that shell commands will be
executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
not necessarily be the current directory.
`GIT_PREFIX` is set as returned by running 'git rev-parse --show-prefix'
from the original current directory. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].

am.keepcr::
If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
with parameter `--keep-cr`. In this case git-mailsplit will
not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overridden
by giving `--no-keep-cr` from the command line.
See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].
am.threeWay::
By default, `git am` will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
set to true, this setting tells `git am` to fall back on 3-way merge if
the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the `--3way`
option from the command line). Defaults to `false`.

branch.autoSetupMerge::
Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from the
starting point branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
and `--no-track` options. The valid settings are: `false` -- no
automatic setup is done; `true` -- automatic setup is done when the
starting point is a remote-tracking branch; `always` --
automatic setup is done when the starting point is either a
local branch or remote-tracking
branch. This option defaults to true.
branch.autoSetupRebase::
When a new branch is created with 'git branch' or 'git checkout'
that tracks another branch, this variable tells Git to set
up pull to rebase instead of merge (see "branch.<name>.rebase").
When `never`, rebase is never automatically set to true.
When `local`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
other local branches.
When `remote`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
remote-tracking branches.
When `always`, rebase will be set to true for all tracking
branches.
See "branch.autoSetupMerge" for details on how to set up a
branch to track another branch.
This option defaults to never.
branch.sort::
This variable controls the sort ordering of branches when displayed by
linkgit:git-branch[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
value of this variable will be used as the default.
See linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] field names for valid values.
branch.<name>.remote::
When on branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' and 'git push'
which remote to fetch from/push to. The remote to push to
may be overridden with `remote.pushDefault` (for all branches).
The remote to push to, for the current branch, may be further
overridden by `branch.<name>.pushRemote`. If no remote is
configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
`origin` for fetching and `remote.pushDefault` for pushing.
Additionally, `.` (a period) is the current local repository
(a dot-repository), see `branch.<name>.merge`'s final note below.
branch.<name>.pushRemote::
When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for
pushing. It also overrides `remote.pushDefault` for pushing
from branch <name>. When you pull from one place (e.g. your
upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own publishing
repository), you would want to set `remote.pushDefault` to
specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this
option to override it for a specific branch.
branch.<name>.merge::
Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull'/'git rebase' which
branch to merge and can also affect 'git push' (see push.default).
When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
ref which is fetched from the remote given by
"branch.<name>.remote".
The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
'git fetch') to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
this option, 'git pull' defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
If you wish to setup 'git pull' so that it merges into <name> from
another branch in the local repository, you can point
branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the relative path
setting `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
branch.<name>.mergeOptions::
Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and
supported options are the same as those of linkgit:git-merge[1], but
option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
supported.
branch.<name>.rebase::
When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when
"git pull" is run. See "pull.rebase" for doing this in a non
branch-specific manner.
+
When `merges`, pass the `--rebase-merges` option to 'git rebase'
so that the local merge commits are included in the rebase (see
linkgit:git-rebase[1] for details).
+
When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
by running 'git pull'.
+
When the value is `interactive`, the rebase is run in interactive mode.
+
*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
for details).
branch.<name>.description::
Branch description, can be edited with
`git branch --edit-description`. Branch description is
automatically added in the format-patch cover letter or
request-pull summary.

checkout.defaultRemote::
When you run 'git checkout <something>' and only have one
remote, it may implicitly fall back on checking out and
tracking e.g. 'origin/<something>'. This stops working as soon
as you have more than one remote with a '<something>'
reference. This setting allows for setting the name of a
preferred remote that should always win when it comes to
disambiguation. The typical use-case is to set this to
`origin`.
+
Currently this is used by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when 'git checkout
<something>' will checkout the '<something>' branch on another remote,
and by linkgit:git-worktree[1] when 'git worktree add' refers to a
remote branch. This setting might be used for other checkout-like
commands or functionality in the future.
checkout.optimizeNewBranch::
Optimizes the performance of "git checkout -b <new_branch>" when
using sparse-checkout. When set to true, git will not update the
repo based on the current sparse-checkout settings. This means it
will not update the skip-worktree bit in the index nor add/remove
files in the working directory to reflect the current sparse checkout
settings nor will it show the local changes.

color.advice::
A boolean to enable/disable color in hints (e.g. when a push
failed, see `advice.*` for a list). May be set to `always`,
`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors
are used only when the error output goes to a terminal. If
unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.advice.hint::
Use customized color for hints.
color.blame.highlightRecent::
This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending
on age of the line.
+
This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and date settings,
starting and ending with a color, the dates should be set from oldest to newest.
The metadata will be colored given the colors if the the line was introduced
before the given timestamp, overwriting older timestamped colors.
+
Instead of an absolute timestamp relative timestamps work as well, e.g.
2.weeks.ago is valid to address anything older than 2 weeks.
+
It defaults to 'blue,12 month ago,white,1 month ago,red', which colors
everything older than one year blue, recent changes between one month and
one year old are kept white, and lines introduced within the last month are
colored red.
color.blame.repeatedLines::
Use the customized color for the part of git-blame output that
is repeated meta information per line (such as commit id,
author name, date and timezone). Defaults to cyan.
color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
linkgit:git-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
`false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the
value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.branch.<slot>::
Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of
`current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch),
`remote` (a remote-tracking branch in refs/remotes/),
`upstream` (upstream tracking branch), `plain` (other
refs).
color.diff::
Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
If this is set to `always`, linkgit:git-diff[1],
linkgit:git-log[1], and linkgit:git-show[1] will use color
for all patches. If it is set to `true` or `auto`, those
commands will only use color when output is to the terminal.
If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by
default).
+
This does not affect linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or the
'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands. Can be overridden on the
command line with the `--color[=<when>]` option.
color.diff.<slot>::
Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>` specifies
which part of the patch to use the specified color, and is one
of `context` (context text - `plain` is a historical synonym),
`meta` (metainformation), `frag`
(hunk header), 'func' (function in hunk header), `old` (removed lines),

Use customized color for 'git log --decorate' output. `<slot>` is one
of `branch`, `remoteBranch`, `tag`, `stash` or `HEAD` for local
branches, remote-tracking branches, tags, stash and HEAD, respectively
and `grafted` for grafted commits.
color.grep::
When set to `always`, always highlight matches. When `false` (or
`never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only
when the output is written to the terminal. If unset, then the
value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).

and displays (such as those used by "git-add --interactive" and
"git-clean --interactive"). When false (or `never`), never.
When set to `true` or `auto`, use colors only when the output is
to the terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is
used (`auto` by default).
color.interactive.<slot>::
Use customized color for 'git add --interactive' and 'git clean

interactive commands.
color.pager::
A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
use (default is true).
color.push::
A boolean to enable/disable color in push errors. May be set to
`always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which
case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.push.error::
Use customized color for push errors.
color.remote::
If set, keywords at the start of the line are highlighted. The
keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success", and are
matched case-insensitively. May be set to `always`, `false` (or
`never`) or `auto` (or `true`). If unset, then the value of
`color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.remote.<slot>::
Use customized color for each remote keyword. `<slot>` may be
`hint`, `warning`, `success` or `error` which match the
corresponding keyword.

to red),
`localBranch` or `remoteBranch` (the local and remote branch names,
respectively, when branch and tracking information is displayed in the
status short-format), or
`unmerged` (files which have unmerged changes).
color.transport::
A boolean to enable/disable color when pushes are rejected. May be
set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which
case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal.
If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
color.transport.rejected::
Use customized color when a push was rejected.
color.ui::
This variable determines the default value for variables such
as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
configuration to set a default for the `--color` option. Set it
to `false` or `never` if you prefer Git commands not to use
color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration
or the `--color` option. Set it to `always` if you want all
output not intended for machine consumption to use color, to
`true` or `auto` (this is the default since Git 1.8.4) if you
want such output to use color when written to the terminal.

CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
Git for Windows or Eclipse).
In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
+
The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
core.hideDotFiles::
(Windows-only) If true, mark newly-created directories and files whose
name starts with a dot as hidden. If 'dotGitOnly', only the `.git/`
directory is hidden, but no other files starting with a dot. The
default mode is 'dotGitOnly'.
core.ignoreCase::
Internal variable which enables various workarounds to enable
Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
like APFS, HFS+, FAT, NTFS, etc. 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.
+
Git relies on the proper configuration of this variable for your operating
and file system. Modifying this value may result in unexpected behavior.
core.precomposeUnicode::
This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
(Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
core.protectHFS::
If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
core.protectNTFS::
If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
8.3 "short" names.
Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
core.fsmonitor::
If set, the value of this variable is used as a command which
will identify all files that may have changed since the
requested date/time. This information is used to speed up git by
avoiding unnecessary processing of files that have not changed.
See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
core.trustctime::
If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
crawlers and some backup systems).
See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
core.splitIndex::
If true, the split-index feature of the index will be used.
See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. False by default.
core.untrackedCache::
Determines what to do about the untracked cache feature of the
index. It will be kept, if this variable is unset or set to
`keep`. It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And
it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`. Before
setting it to `true`, you should check that mtime is working
properly on your system.
See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. `keep` by default.
core.checkStat::
When missing or is set to `default`, many fields in the stat
structure are checked to detect if a file has been modified
since Git looked at it. When this configuration variable is
set to `minimal`, sub-second part of mtime and ctime, the
uid and gid of the owner of the file, the inode number (and
the device number, if Git was compiled to use it), are
excluded from the check among these fields, leaving only the
whole-second part of mtime (and ctime, if `core.trustCtime`
is set) and the filesize to be checked.
+
There are implementations of Git that do not leave usable values in
some fields (e.g. JGit); by excluding these fields from the
comparison, the `minimal` mode may help interoperability when the
same repository is used by these other systems at the same time.
core.quotePath::
Commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files', 'diff'), will
quote "unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
pathname in double-quotes and escaping those characters with
backslashes in the same way C escapes control characters (e.g.
`\t` for TAB, `\n` for LF, `\\` for backslash) or bytes with
values larger than 0x80 (e.g. octal `\302\265` for "micro" in
UTF-8). If this variable is set to false, bytes higher than
0x80 are not considered "unusual" any more. Double-quotes,
backslash and control characters are always escaped regardless
of the setting of this variable. A simple space character is
not considered "unusual". Many commands can output pathnames
completely verbatim using the `-z` option. The default value
is true.
core.eol::
Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
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.
core.safecrlf::
If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
end-of-line conversion is active. Git will verify if a command
modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
same file should yield the original file in the work tree. If
this is not the case for the current setting of
`core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file. The variable can
be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
+
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git. For text
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
conversion can corrupt data.
+
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
after committing you still have the original file in your work
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
appropriately.
+
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
+
Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
file identical to the original file for a different setting of
`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one. For
example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
contained `LF`. However, in both work trees the line endings would be
consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed. A
file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
mechanism.
core.autocrlf::
Setting this variable to "true" is the same as setting
the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files and core.eol to "crlf".
Set to true if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
working directory and the repository has LF line endings.
This variable can be set to 'input',
in which case no output conversion is performed.
core.checkRoundtripEncoding::
A comma and/or whitespace separated list of encodings that Git
performs UTF-8 round trip checks on if they are used in an
`working-tree-encoding` attribute (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
The default value is `SHIFT-JIS`.
core.symlinks::
If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
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
symbolic links.
+
The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
is created.
core.gitProxy::
A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
the first match wins.
+
Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_COMMAND` environment variable
(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
handling).
+
The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
core.sshCommand::
If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
when the environment variable is set.
core.ignoreStat::
If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
+
When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
+
This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
+
False by default.
core.preferSymlinkRefs::
Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
core.alternateRefsCommand::
When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produced by `git for-each-ref
--format='%(objectname)'`).
+
Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
the command above in a shell script).
core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with
whitespace. If `core.alternateRefsCommand` is set, setting
`core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
core.bare::
If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
working directory associated with it. If this is the case a
number of commands that require a working directory will be
disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
+
This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created. By default a
repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
= true).
core.worktree::
Set the path to the root of the working tree.
If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
the current working directory is regarded as the top level
of your working tree.
+
Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
misconfiguration. Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
repository's usual working tree).
core.logAllRefUpdates::
Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
"`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`", by appending the new and old
SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
only when the file exists. If this configuration
variable is set to `true`, missing "`$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>`"
file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
`refs/heads/`), remote refs (i.e. under `refs/remotes/`),
note refs (i.e. under `refs/notes/`), and the symbolic ref `HEAD`.
If it is set to `always`, then a missing reflog is automatically
created for any ref under `refs/`.
+
This information can be used to determine what commit
was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
+
This value is true by default in a repository that has
a working directory associated with it, and false by
default in a bare repository.
core.repositoryFormatVersion::
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
version.
core.sharedRepository::
When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
and might match multiple refs in the repository. True by default.
core.compression::
An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
-1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
such as `core.looseCompression` and `pack.compression`.
core.looseCompression::
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
core.packedGitWindowSize::
Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
a large number of large pack files.
+
Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
not need to adjust this value.
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
core.packedGitLimit::
Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
+
Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 32 TiB (effectively
unlimited) on 64 bit platforms.
This should be reasonable for all users/operating systems, except on
the largest projects. You probably do not need to adjust this value.
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects. By storing the
entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
objects multiple times.
+
Default is 96 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
You probably do not need to adjust this value.
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
core.bigFileThreshold::
Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
larger than this size are always treated as binary.
+
Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
for most projects as source code and other text files can still
be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
core.excludesFile::
Specifies the pathname to the file that contains patterns to
describe paths that are not meant to be tracked, in addition
to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and '.git/info/exclude'.
Defaults to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore`.
If `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME` is either not set or empty, `$HOME/.config/git/ignore`
is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
core.askPass::
Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the `GIT_ASKPASS`
environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
`SSH_ASKPASS` environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
core.attributesFile::
In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
'.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
(see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
`$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 let you edit
messages by launching an editor use the value of this
variable when it is set, and the environment variable
`GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
core.commentChar::
Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that let you edit
messages consider a line that begins with this character
commented, and removes them after the editor returns
(default '#').
+
If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
core.filesRefLockTimeout::
The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
lock an individual reference. Value 0 means not to retry at
all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 100 (i.e.,
retry for 100ms).
core.packedRefsTimeout::
The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
retry for 1 second).
core.pager::
Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less'). The value
is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
compile time (usually 'less').
+
When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
all). If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`. This will
be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
`less`. One can specifically activate some flags for particular
commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
line truncation only for `git blame`.
+
Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
to `-c`. You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
core.whitespace::
A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
notice. 'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
+
* `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 space
characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
default).
* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
the line 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
is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
core.fsyncObjectFiles::
This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
+
This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
core.preloadIndex::
Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
+
This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
relatively high IO latencies. When enabled, Git will do the
index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
overlapping IO's. Defaults to true.
core.createObject::
You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
will not overwrite existing objects.
+
On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
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. The ref must be fully qualified. If the given
ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
notes should be printed.
+
This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
core.commitGraph::
If true, then git will read the commit-graph file (if it exists)
to parse the graph structure of commits. Defaults to false. See
linkgit:git-commit-graph[1] for more information.
core.useReplaceRefs::
If set to `false`, behave as if the `--no-replace-objects`
option was given on the command line. See linkgit:git[1] and
linkgit:git-replace[1] for more information.
core.multiPackIndex::
Use the multi-pack-index file to track multiple packfiles using a
single index. See link:technical/multi-pack-index.html[the
multi-pack-index design document].
core.sparseCheckout::
Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
core.abbrev::
Set the length object names are abbreviated to. If
unspecified or set to "auto", an appropriate value is
computed based on the approximate number of packed objects
in your repository, which hopefully is enough for
abbreviated object names to stay unique for some time.
The minimum length is 4.

fsck.<msg-id>::
During fsck git may find issues with legacy data which
wouldn't be generated by current versions of git, and which
wouldn't be sent over the wire if `transfer.fsckObjects` was
set. This feature is intended to support working with legacy
repositories containing such data.
+
Setting `fsck.<msg-id>` will be picked up by linkgit:git-fsck[1], but
to accept pushes of such data set `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` instead, or
to clone or fetch it set `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`.
+
The rest of the documentation discusses `fsck.*` for brevity, but the
same applies for the corresponding `receive.fsck.*` and
`fetch.<msg-id>.*`. variables.
+
Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
`receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>` variables will not
fall back on the `fsck.<msg-id>` configuration if they aren't set. To
uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
all three of them they must all set to the same values.
+
When `fsck.<msg-id>` is set, errors can be switched to warnings and
vice versa by configuring the `fsck.<msg-id>` setting where the
`<msg-id>` is the fsck message ID and the value is one of `error`,
`warn` or `ignore`. For convenience, fsck prefixes the error/warning
with the message ID, e.g. "missingEmail: invalid author/committer line
- missing email" means that setting `fsck.missingEmail = ignore` will
hide that issue.
+
In general, it is better to enumerate existing objects with problems
with `fsck.skipList`, instead of listing the kind of breakages these
problematic objects share to be ignored, as doing the latter will
allow new instances of the same breakages go unnoticed.
+
Setting an unknown `fsck.<msg-id>` value will cause fsck to die, but
doing the same for `receive.fsck.<msg-id>` and `fetch.fsck.<msg-id>`
will only cause git to warn.
fsck.skipList::
The path to a list of object names (i.e. one unabbreviated SHA-1 per
line) that are known to be broken in a non-fatal way and should
be ignored. On versions of Git 2.20 and later comments ('#'), empty
lines, and any leading and trailing whitespace is ignored. Everything
but a SHA-1 per line will error out on older versions.
+
This feature is useful when an established project should be accepted
despite early commits containing errors that can be safely ignored
such as invalid committer email addresses. Note: corrupt objects
cannot be skipped with this setting.
+
Like `fsck.<msg-id>` this variable has corresponding
`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variants.
+
Unlike variables like `color.ui` and `core.editor` the
`receive.fsck.skipList` and `fetch.fsck.skipList` variables will not
fall back on the `fsck.skipList` configuration if they aren't set. To
uniformly configure the same fsck settings in different circumstances
all three of them they must all set to the same values.
+
Older versions of Git (before 2.20) documented that the object names
list should be sorted. This was never a requirement, the object names
could appear in any order, but when reading the list we tracked whether
the list was sorted for the purposes of an internal binary search
implementation, which could save itself some work with an already sorted
list. Unless you had a humongous list there was no reason to go out of
your way to pre-sort the list. After Git version 2.20 a hash implementation
is used instead, so there's now no reason to pre-sort the list.

gc.aggressiveDepth::
The depth parameter used in the delta compression
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
to 50.
gc.aggressiveWindow::
The window size parameter used in the delta compression
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
to 250.
gc.auto::
When there are approximately more than this many loose
objects in the repository, `git gc --auto` will pack them.
Some Porcelain commands use this command to perform a
light-weight garbage collection from time to time. The
default value is 6700. Setting this to 0 disables it.
gc.autoPackLimit::
When there are more than this many packs that are not
marked with `*.keep` file in the repository, `git gc
--auto` consolidates them into one larger pack. The
default value is 50. Setting this to 0 disables it.
gc.autoDetach::
Make `git gc --auto` return immediately and run in background
if the system supports it. Default is true.
gc.bigPackThreshold::
If non-zero, all packs larger than this limit are kept when
`git gc` is run. This is very similar to `--keep-base-pack`
except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
just the base pack. Defaults to zero. Common unit suffixes of
'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
Note that if the number of kept packs is more than gc.autoPackLimit,
this configuration variable is ignored, all packs except the base pack
will be repacked. After this the number of packs should go below
gc.autoPackLimit and gc.bigPackThreshold should be respected again.
gc.writeCommitGraph::
If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using linkgit:git-gc[1]
'--auto' the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
required. Default is false. See linkgit:git-commit-graph[1]
for details.
gc.logExpiry::
If the file gc.log exists, then `git gc --auto` will print
its content and exit with status zero instead of running
unless that file is more than 'gc.logExpiry' old. Default is
"1.day". See `gc.pruneExpire` for more ways to specify its
value.
gc.packRefs::
Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
transports such as HTTP. This variable determines whether
'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`
to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
boolean value. The default is `true`.
gc.pruneExpire::
When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
"now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
unreachable objects immediately, or "never" may be used to
suppress pruning. This feature helps prevent corruption when
'git gc' runs concurrently with another process writing to the
repository; see the "NOTES" section of linkgit:git-gc[1].
gc.worktreePruneExpire::
When 'git gc' is run, it calls
'git worktree prune --expire 3.months.ago'.
This config variable can be used to set a different grace
period. The value "now" may be used to disable the grace
period and prune `$GIT_DIR/worktrees` immediately, or "never"
may be used to suppress pruning.
gc.reflogExpire::
gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
this time; defaults to 90 days. The value "now" expires all
entries immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration
altogether. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
"refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
the refs that match the <pattern>.
gc.reflogExpireUnreachable::
gc.<pattern>.reflogExpireUnreachable::
'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
defaults to 30 days. The value "now" expires all entries
immediately, and "never" suppresses expiration altogether.
With "<pattern>" (e.g. "refs/stash")
in the middle, the setting applies only to the refs that
match the <pattern>.
gc.rerereResolved::
Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
The default is 60 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
gc.rerereUnresolved::
Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
You can also use more human-readable "1.month.ago", etc.
The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].

guitool.<name>.cmd::
Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
the tool as `GIT_GUITOOL`, the name of the currently selected file as
'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
guitool.<name>.needsFile::
Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
guitool.<name>.noConsole::
Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
output.
guitool.<name>.noRescan::
Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
finishes execution.
guitool.<name>.confirm::
Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
guitool.<name>.argPrompt::
Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
through the `ARGS` environment variable. Since requesting an
argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
value of the variable is used.
guitool.<name>.revPrompt::
Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
`REVISION` environment variable. In other aspects this option
is similar to 'argPrompt', and can be used together with it.
guitool.<name>.revUnmerged::
Show only unmerged branches in the 'revPrompt' subdialog.
This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
for things like checkout or reset.
guitool.<name>.title::
Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
is the tool name.
guitool.<name>.prompt::
Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
the dialog, before subsections for 'argPrompt' and 'revPrompt'.
The default value includes the actual command.

the default. 'web' and 'html' are the same.
help.autoCorrect::
Automatically correct and execute mistyped commands after
waiting for the given number of deciseconds (0.1 sec). If more
than one command can be deduced from the entered text, nothing

http.proxy::
Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
'[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port]'. This can be overridden
on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
http.proxyAuthMethod::
Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
(i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
Both can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD` environment
variable. Possible values are:
+
--
* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
authentication methods. This is the default.
* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
transmitted to the proxy in clear text
* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
of `curl(1)`)
* `ntlm` - NTLM authentication (compare the --ntlm option of `curl(1)`)
--
http.emptyAuth::
Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password. This
can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying
a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
authentication.
http.delegation::
Control GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled
by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7. Set parameter to tell
the server what it is allowed to delegate when it comes to user
credentials. Used with GSS/kerberos. Possible values are:
+
--
* `none` - Don't allow any delegation.
* `policy` - Delegates if and only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the
Kerberos service ticket, which is a matter of realm policy.
* `always` - Unconditionally allow the server to delegate.
--
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::
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 `curl(1)`).
NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is used only as
input unless http.saveCookies is set.
http.saveCookies::
If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset.
http.sslVersion::
The SSL version to use when negotiating an SSL connection, if you
want to force the default. The available and default version
depend on whether libcurl was built against NSS or OpenSSL and the
particular configuration of the crypto library in use. Internally
this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_VERSION' option; see the libcurl
documentation for more details on the format of this option and
for the ssl version supported. Actually the possible values of
this option are:
- sslv2
- sslv3
- tlsv1
- tlsv1.0
- tlsv1.1
- tlsv1.2
- tlsv1.3
+
Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_VERSION` environment variable.
To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
explicit http.sslversion option, set `GIT_SSL_VERSION` to the
empty string.
http.sslCipherList::
A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto
library in use. Internally this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST'
option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
of this list.
+
Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` environment variable.
To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
explicit http.sslCipherList option, set `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` to the
empty string.
http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Defaults to true. Can be overridden by the
`GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable.
http.sslCert::
File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CERT` environment
variable.
http.sslKey::
File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_KEY` environment
variable.
http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
Enable Git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the
`GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED` environment variable.
http.sslCAInfo::
File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
`GIT_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
http.sslCAPath::
Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer
with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
by the `GIT_SSL_CAPATH` environment variable.
http.sslBackend::
Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
backend at runtime.
http.schannelCheckRevoke::
Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
http.pinnedpubkey::
Public key of the https service. It may either be the filename of
a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with
'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the
public key. See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'. git will
exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by
cURL.
http.sslTry::
Attempt to use AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers
when connecting via regular FTP protocol. This might be needed
if the FTP server requires it for security reasons or you wish
to connect securely whenever remote FTP server supports it.
Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification
errors on misconfigured servers.
http.maxRequests::
How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
by the `GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS` environment variable. Default is 5.
http.minSessions::
The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
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.
Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT` and
`GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_TIME` environment variables.
http.noEPSV::
A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which don't
support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the `GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV`
environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
http.userAgent::
The HTTP USER_AGENT string presented to an HTTP server. The default
value represents the version of the client Git such as git/1.7.1.
This option allows you to override this value to a more common value
such as Mozilla/4.0. This may be necessary, for instance, if
connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set
of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1).
Can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT` environment variable.
http.followRedirects::
Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git
will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it
encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as
errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for
the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent
follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as
the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally
sufficient. The default is `initial`.
http.<url>.*::
Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
compared to that of the URL, in the following order:
+
--
. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
This field must match between the config key and the URL. It is
possible to specify a `*` as part of the host name to match all subdomains
at this level. `https://*.example.com/` for example would match
`https://foo.example.com/`, but not `https://foo.bar.example.com/`.
. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`).
This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
default for the scheme before matching.
. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL
either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means
a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only
match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config
key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
key with just path `foo/`).
. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`). If
the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the
URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that
config key will match a URL with any user name (including none),
but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name.
--
+
The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example,
if the URL is `https://user@example.com/foo/bar` a config key match of
`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of
`https://user@example.com`.
+
All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part,
if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that
equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly.
Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are
matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs
visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching.

log.decorate::
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log

Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool. The
specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
variables available: 'BASE' is the name of a temporary file
containing the common base of the files to be merged, if available;
'LOCAL' is the name of a temporary file containing the contents of
the file on the current branch; 'REMOTE' is the name of a temporary
file containing the contents of the file from the branch being
merged; 'MERGED' contains the name of the file to which the merge
tool should write the results of a successful merge.
mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode::
For a custom merge command, specify whether the exit code of
the merge command can be used to determine whether the merge was
successful. If this is not set to true then the merge target file
timestamp is checked and the merge assumed to have been successful
if the file has been updated, otherwise the user is prompted to
indicate the success of the merge.
mergetool.meld.hasOutput::
Older versions of `meld` do not support the `--output` option.
Git will attempt to detect whether `meld` supports `--output`
by inspecting the output of `meld --help`. Configuring
`mergetool.meld.hasOutput` will make Git skip these checks and
use the configured value instead. Setting `mergetool.meld.hasOutput`
to `true` tells Git to unconditionally use the `--output` option,
and `false` avoids using `--output`.
mergetool.keepBackup::
After performing a merge, the original file with conflict markers
can be saved as a file with a `.orig` extension. If this variable
is set to `false` then this file is not preserved. Defaults to
`true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
mergetool.keepTemporaries::
When invoking a custom merge tool, Git uses a set of temporary
files to pass to the tool. If the tool returns an error and this
variable is set to `true`, then these temporary files will be
preserved, otherwise they will be removed after the tool has
exited. Defaults to `false`.
mergetool.writeToTemp::
Git writes temporary 'BASE', 'LOCAL', and 'REMOTE' versions of
conflicting files in the worktree by default. Git will attempt

pack.window::
The size of the window used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
pack.depth::
The maximum delta depth used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
maximum depth is given on the command line. Defaults to 50.
Maximum value is 4095.
pack.windowMemory::
The maximum size of memory that is consumed by each thread
in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] for pack window memory when
no limit is given on the command line. The value can be
suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". When left unconfigured (or
set explicitly to 0), there will be no limit.
pack.compression::
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects
in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default
compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
to level 6)."
+
Note that changing the compression level will not automatically recompress
all existing objects. You can force recompression by passing the -F option
to linkgit:git-repack[1].
pack.island::
An extended regular expression configuring a set of delta
islands. See "DELTA ISLANDS" in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
for details.
pack.islandCore::
Specify an island name which gets to have its objects be
packed first. This creates a kind of pseudo-pack at the front
of one pack, so that the objects from the specified island are
hopefully faster to copy into any pack that should be served
to a user requesting these objects. In practice this means
that the island specified should likely correspond to what is
the most commonly cloned in the repo. See also "DELTA ISLANDS"
in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
pack.deltaCacheSize::
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] before writing them out to a pack.
This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not
having to recompute the final delta result once the best match
for all objects is found. Repacking large repositories on machines
which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though,
especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping.
A value of 0 means no limit. The smallest size of 1 byte may be
used to virtually disable this cache. Defaults to 256 MiB.
pack.deltaCacheLimit::
The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in
linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. This cache is used to speed up the
writing object phase by not having to recompute the final delta
result once the best match for all objects is found.
Defaults to 1000. Maximum value is 65535.
pack.threads::
Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
delta matches. This requires that linkgit: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.
Specifying 0 will cause Git to auto-detect the number of CPU's
and set the number of threads accordingly.
pack.indexVersion::
Specify the default pack index version. Valid values are 1 for
legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB
as well as proper protection against the repacking of corrupted
packs. Version 2 is the default. Note that version 2 is enforced
and this config option ignored whenever the corresponding pack is
larger than 2 GB.
+
If you have an old Git that does not understand the version 2 `*.idx` file,
cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http")
that will copy both `*.pack` file and corresponding `*.idx` file from the
other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
older version of Git. If the `*.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
the `*.idx` file.
pack.packSizeLimit::
The maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects
packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol
is unaffected. It can be overridden by the `--max-pack-size`
option of linkgit:git-repack[1]. Reaching this limit results
in the creation of multiple packfiles; which in turn prevents
bitmaps from being created.
The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB.
The default is unlimited.
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
supported.
pack.useBitmaps::
When true, git will use pack bitmaps (if available) when packing
to stdout (e.g., during the server side of a fetch). Defaults to
true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
you are debugging pack bitmaps.
pack.writeBitmaps (deprecated)::
This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap
index (if one is written). This cache can be used to feed git's
delta heuristics, potentially leading to better deltas between
bitmapped and non-bitmapped objects (e.g., when serving a fetch
between an older, bitmapped pack and objects that have been
pushed since the last gc). The downside is that it consumes 4
bytes per object of disk space, and that JGit's bitmap
implementation does not understand it, causing it to complain if
Git and JGit are used on the same repository. Defaults to false.

`auto`. Any other value is treated as `ssh`. This setting can also be
overridden via the environment variable `GIT_SSH_VARIANT`.
+
The current command-line parameters used for each variant are as
follows:
+
--
* `ssh` - [-p port] [-4] [-6] [-o option] [username@]host command
* `simple` - [username@]host command
* `plink` or `putty` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] [username@]host command
* `tortoiseplink` - [-P port] [-4] [-6] -batch [username@]host command
--
+
Except for the `simple` variant, command-line parameters are likely to
change as git gains new features.

status.relativePaths::
By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the
current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths
relative to the repository root (this was the default for Git
prior to v1.5.4).
status.short::
Set to true to enable --short by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
The option --no-short takes precedence over this variable.
status.branch::
Set to true to enable --branch by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
The option --no-branch takes precedence over this variable.
status.displayCommentPrefix::
If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will insert a comment
prefix before each output line (starting with
`core.commentChar`, i.e. `#` by default). This was the
behavior of linkgit:git-status[1] in Git 1.8.4 and previous.
Defaults to false.
status.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing rename detection
in linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1]. Defaults to
the value of diff.renameLimit.
status.renames::
Whether and how Git detects renames in linkgit:git-status[1] and
linkgit:git-commit[1] . If set to "false", rename detection is
disabled. If set to "true", basic rename detection is enabled.
If set to "copies" or "copy", Git will detect copies, as well.
Defaults to the value of diff.renames.
status.showStash::
If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will display the number of
entries currently stashed away.
Defaults to false.
status.showUntrackedFiles::
By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show
files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which
contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name
only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all
the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some
systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays
the untracked files. Possible values are:
+
--
* `no` - Show no untracked files.
* `normal` - Show untracked files and directories.
* `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories.
--
+
If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.
This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option
of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].
status.submoduleSummary::
Defaults to false.
If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an
unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see
--summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note
that the summary output command will be suppressed for all
submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only
for those submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. The only
exception to that rule is that status and commit will show staged
submodule changes. To
also view the summary for ignored submodules you can either use
the --ignore-submodules=dirty command-line option or the 'git
submodule summary' command, which shows a similar output but does
not honor these settings.

transfer.fsckObjects::
When `fetch.fsckObjects` or `receive.fsckObjects` are
not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
Defaults to false.
+
When set, the fetch or receive will abort in the case of a malformed
object or a link to a nonexistent object. In addition, various other
issues are checked for, including legacy issues (see `fsck.<msg-id>`),
and potential security issues like the existence of a `.GIT` directory
or a malicious `.gitmodules` file (see the release notes for v2.2.1
and v2.17.1 for details). Other sanity and security checks may be
added in future releases.
+
On the receiving side, failing fsckObjects will make those objects
unreachable, see "QUARANTINE ENVIRONMENT" in
linkgit:git-receive-pack[1]. On the fetch side, malformed objects will
instead be left unreferenced in the repository.
+
Due to the non-quarantine nature of the `fetch.fsckObjects`
implementation it can not be relied upon to leave the object store
clean like `receive.fsckObjects` can.
+
As objects are unpacked they're written to the object store, so there
can be cases where malicious objects get introduced even though the
"fetch" failed, only to have a subsequent "fetch" succeed because only
new incoming objects are checked, not those that have already been
written to the object store. That difference in behavior should not be
relied upon. In the future, such objects may be quarantined for
"fetch" as well.
+
For now, the paranoid need to find some way to emulate the quarantine
environment if they'd like the same protection as "push". E.g. in the
case of an internal mirror do the mirroring in two steps, one to fetch
the untrusted objects, and then do a second "push" (which will use the
quarantine) to another internal repo, and have internal clients
consume this pushed-to repository, or embargo internal fetches and
only allow them once a full "fsck" has run (and no new fetches have
happened in the meantime).
transfer.hideRefs::
String(s) `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` use to decide which
refs to omit from their initial advertisements. Use more than
one definition to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that is
under the hierarchies listed in the value of this variable is
excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git push` or `git
fetch`. See `receive.hideRefs` and `uploadpack.hideRefs` for
program-specific versions of this config.
+
You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry,
explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden.
If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones
(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones).
+
If a namespace is in use, the namespace prefix is stripped from each
reference before it is matched against `transfer.hiderefs` patterns.
For example, if `refs/heads/master` is specified in `transfer.hideRefs` and
the current namespace is `foo`, then `refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master`
is omitted from the advertisements but `refs/heads/master` and
`refs/namespaces/bar/refs/heads/master` are still advertised as so-called
"have" lines. In order to match refs before stripping, add a `^` in front of
the ref name. If you combine `!` and `^`, `!` must be specified first.
+
Even if you hide refs, a client may still be able to steal the target
objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY" section of the
linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to keep private data in a
separate repository.
transfer.unpackLimit::
When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are

uploadpack.hideRefs::
This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
only to `upload-pack` (and so affects only fetches, not pushes).
An attempt to fetch a hidden ref by `git fetch` will fail. See
also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant::
When `uploadpack.hideRefs` is in effect, allow `upload-pack`
to accept a fetch request that asks for an object at the tip
of a hidden ref (by default, such a request is rejected).
See also `uploadpack.hideRefs`. Even if this is false, a client
may be able to steal objects via the techniques described in the
"SECURITY" section of the linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's
best to keep private data in a separate repository.
uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant::
Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for an
object that is reachable from any ref tip. However, note that
calculating object reachability is computationally expensive.
Defaults to `false`. Even if this is false, a client may be able
to steal objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY"
section of the linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to
keep private data in a separate repository.
uploadpack.allowAnySHA1InWant::
Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for any
object at all.
Defaults to `false`.
uploadpack.keepAlive::
When `upload-pack` has started `pack-objects`, there may be a
quiet period while `pack-objects` prepares the pack. Normally
it would output progress information, but if `--quiet` was used
for the fetch, `pack-objects` will output nothing at all until
the pack data begins. Some clients and networks may consider
the server to be hung and give up. Setting this option instructs
`upload-pack` to send an empty keepalive packet every
`uploadpack.keepAlive` seconds. Setting this option to 0
disables keepalive packets entirely. The default is 5 seconds.
uploadpack.packObjectsHook::
If this option is set, when `upload-pack` would run
`git pack-objects` to create a packfile for a client, it will
run this shell command instead. The `pack-objects` command and
arguments it _would_ have run (including the `git pack-objects`
at the beginning) are appended to the shell command. The stdin
and stdout of the hook are treated as if `pack-objects` itself
was run. I.e., `upload-pack` will feed input intended for
`pack-objects` to the hook, and expects a completed packfile on
stdout.
+
Note that this configuration variable is ignored if it is seen in the
repository-level config (this is a safety measure against fetching from
untrusted repositories).
uploadpack.allowFilter::
If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support partial
clone and partial fetch object filtering.
uploadpack.allowRefInWant::
If this option is set, `upload-pack` will support the `ref-in-want`
feature of the protocol version 2 `fetch` command. This feature
is intended for the benefit of load-balanced servers which may
not have the same view of what OIDs their refs point to due to
replication delay.

versionsort.prereleaseSuffix (deprecated)::
Deprecated alias for `versionsort.suffix`. Ignored if
`versionsort.suffix` is set.
versionsort.suffix::
Even when version sort is used in linkgit:git-tag[1], tagnames
with the same base version but different suffixes are still sorted
lexicographically, resulting e.g. in prerelease tags appearing
after the main release (e.g. "1.0-rc1" after "1.0"). This
variable can be specified to determine the sorting order of tags
with different suffixes.
+
By specifying a single suffix in this variable, any tagname containing
that suffix will appear before the corresponding main release. E.g. if
the variable is set to "-rc", then all "1.0-rcX" tags will appear before
"1.0". If specified multiple times, once per suffix, then the order of
suffixes in the configuration will determine the sorting order of tagnames
with those suffixes. E.g. if "-pre" appears before "-rc" in the
configuration, then all "1.0-preX" tags will be listed before any
"1.0-rcX" tags. The placement of the main release tag relative to tags
with various suffixes can be determined by specifying the empty suffix
among those other suffixes. E.g. if the suffixes "-rc", "", "-ck" and
"-bfs" appear in the configuration in this order, then all "v4.8-rcX" tags
are listed first, followed by "v4.8", then "v4.8-ckX" and finally
"v4.8-bfsX".
+
If more than one suffixes match the same tagname, then that tagname will
be sorted according to the suffix which starts at the earliest position in
the tagname. If more than one different matching suffixes start at
that earliest position, then that tagname will be sorted according to the
longest of those suffixes.
The sorting order between different suffixes is undefined if they are
in multiple config files.
