CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The git configuration file contains a number of variables that affect
|
|
the git command's behavior. The `.git/config` file in each repository
|
|
is used to store the configuration for that repository, and
|
|
`$HOME/.gitconfig` is used to store a per-user configuration as
|
|
fallback values for the `.git/config` file. The file `/etc/gitconfig`
|
|
can be used to store a system-wide default configuration.
|
|
|
|
The configuration variables are used by both the git plumbing
|
|
and the porcelains. The variables are divided into sections, wherein
|
|
the fully qualified variable name of the variable itself is the last
|
|
dot-separated segment and the section name is everything before the last
|
|
dot. The variable names are case-insensitive and only alphanumeric
|
|
characters are allowed. Some variables may appear multiple times.
|
|
|
|
Syntax
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; whitespaces are mostly
|
|
ignored. The '#' and ';' characters begin comments to the end of line,
|
|
blank lines are ignored.
|
|
|
|
The file consists of sections and variables. A section begins with
|
|
the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next
|
|
section begins. Section names are not case sensitive. Only alphanumeric
|
|
characters, `-` and `.` are allowed in section names. Each variable
|
|
must belong to some section, which means that there must be a section
|
|
header before the first setting of a variable.
|
|
|
|
Sections can be further divided into subsections. To begin a subsection
|
|
put its name in double quotes, separated by space from the section name,
|
|
in the section header, like in the example below:
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
[section "subsection"]
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
|
|
newline (doublequote `"` and backslash have to be escaped as `\"` and `\\`,
|
|
respectively). Section headers cannot span multiple
|
|
lines. Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given subsection.
|
|
You can have `[section]` if you have `[section "subsection"]`, but you
|
|
don't need to.
|
|
|
|
There is also a case insensitive alternative `[section.subsection]` syntax.
|
|
In this syntax, subsection names follow the same restrictions as for section
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
All the other lines (and the remainder of the line after the section
|
|
header) are recognized as setting variables, in the form
|
|
'name = value'. If there is no equal sign on the line, the entire line
|
|
is taken as 'name' and the variable is recognized as boolean "true".
|
|
The variable names are case-insensitive and only alphanumeric
|
|
characters and `-` are allowed. There can be more than one value
|
|
for a given variable; we say then that variable is multivalued.
|
|
|
|
Leading and trailing whitespace in a variable value is discarded.
|
|
Internal whitespace within a variable value is retained verbatim.
|
|
|
|
The values following the equals sign in variable assign are all either
|
|
a string, an integer, or a boolean. Boolean values may be given as yes/no,
|
|
0/1, true/false or on/off. Case is not significant in boolean values, when
|
|
converting value to the canonical form using '--bool' type specifier;
|
|
'git config' will ensure that the output is "true" or "false".
|
|
|
|
String values may be entirely or partially enclosed in double quotes.
|
|
You need to enclose variable values in double quotes if you want to
|
|
preserve leading or trailing whitespace, or if the variable value contains
|
|
comment characters (i.e. it contains '#' or ';').
|
|
Double quote `"` and backslash `\` characters in variable values must
|
|
be escaped: use `\"` for `"` and `\\` for `\`.
|
|
|
|
The following escape sequences (beside `\"` and `\\`) are recognized:
|
|
`\n` for newline character (NL), `\t` for horizontal tabulation (HT, TAB)
|
|
and `\b` for backspace (BS). No other char escape sequence, nor octal
|
|
char sequences are valid.
|
|
|
|
Variable values ending in a `\` are continued on the next line in the
|
|
customary UNIX fashion.
|
|
|
|
Some variables may require a special value format.

|
pushNonFastForward::
|
|
Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] refuses
|
|
non-fast-forward refs. Default: true.
|
|
statusHints::
|
|
Directions on how to stage/unstage/add shown in the

when writing commit messages. Default: true.
|

|
merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
|
|
Default: true.
|

Default: true.
|
|

|
detachedHead::

|
|
|
|
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].
|
|
+
|
|
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,
|
|
the Cygwin stat() and lstat() functions are used. This may be useful
|
|
if your repository consists of a few separate directories joined in
|
|
one hierarchy using Cygwin mount. If true, Git uses native Win32 API
|
|
whenever it is possible and falls back to Cygwin functions only to
|
|
handle symbol links. The native mode is more than twice faster than
|
|
normal Cygwin l/stat() functions. True by default, unless core.filemode
|
|
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
|
|
is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
|
|
crawlers and some backup systems).
|
|
See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
|
|
|
|
core.quotepath::
|
|
The commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files',
|
|
'diff'), when not given the `-z` option, will quote
|
|
"unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
|
|
pathname in a double-quote pair and with backslashes the
|
|
same way strings in C source code are quoted. If this
|
|
variable is set to false, the bytes higher than 0x80 are
|
|
not quoted but output as verbatim. Note that double
|
|
quote, backslash and control characters are always
|
|
quoted without `-z` regardless of the setting of this
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
core.eol::
|
|
Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
|
|
files that have the `text` property set. Alternatives are
|
|
'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's native
|
|
line ending. The default value is `native`. See
|
|
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 almost the same as setting
|
|
the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files except that text
|
|
files are not guaranteed to be normalized: files that contain
|
|
`CRLF` in the repository will not be touched. Use this
|
|
setting if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
|
|
working directory even though the repository does not have
|
|
normalized line endings. This variable can be set to 'input',
|
|
in which case no output conversion is performed.
|
|
|
|
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.ignoreStat::
|
|
If true, commands which modify both the working tree and the index
|
|
will mark the updated paths with the "assume unchanged" bit in the
|
|
index. These marked files are then assumed to stay unchanged in the
|
|
working copy, until you mark them otherwise manually - Git will not
|
|
detect the file changes by lstat() calls. This is useful on systems
|
|
where those are very slow, such as Microsoft Windows.
|
|
See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
|
|
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.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 work tree.
|
|
This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
|
|
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option. It can be
|
|
an absolute path or a relative path to the .git directory,
|
|
either specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR, or automatically
|
|
discovered.
|
|
If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
|
|
--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
|
|
the current working directory is regarded as the root of the
|
|
work 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 "/path/to" directory will
|
|
still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
|
|
great confusion to the users.
|
|
|
|
core.logAllRefUpdates::
|
|
Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
|
|
"$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>", by appending the new and old
|
|
SHA1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
|
|
only when the file exists. If this configuration
|
|
variable is set to true, missing "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>"
|
|
file is automatically created for branch heads.
|
|
+
|
|
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 .git/refs/ tree. 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 8 GiB 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 16 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.
|
|
+
|
|
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.
|
|
+
|
|
Currently only linkgit:git-fast-import[1] honors this setting.
|
|
|
|
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. "{tilde}/" is expanded
|
|
to the value of `$HOME` and "{tilde}user/" to the specified user's
|
|
home directory. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
|
|
|
|
core.askpass::
|
|
Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
|
|
ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
|
|
via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_ASKPASS'
|
|
environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
|
|
'SSH_ASKPASS' environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
|
|
prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
|
|
command line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
|
|
|
|
core.attributesfile::
|
|
In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
|
|
'.git/info/attributes', git looks into this file for attributes
|
|
(see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
|
|
way as for `core.excludesfile`.
|
|
|
|
core.editor::
|
|
Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that lets you edit
|
|
messages by launching an editor uses the value of this
|
|
variable when it is set, and the environment variable
|
|
`GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
|
|
|
|
core.pager::
|
|
The command that git will use to paginate output. Can
|
|
be overridden with the `GIT_PAGER` environment
|
|
variable. Note that git sets the `LESS` environment
|
|
variable to `FRSX` if it is unset when it runs the
|
|
pager. One can change these settings by setting the
|
|
`LESS` variable to some other value. Alternately,
|
|
these settings can be overridden on a project or
|
|
global basis by setting the `core.pager` option.
|
|
Setting `core.pager` has no affect on the `LESS`
|
|
environment variable behaviour above, so if you want
|
|
to override git's default settings this way, you need
|
|
to be explicit. For example, to disable the S option
|
|
in a backward compatible manner, set `core.pager`
|
|
to `less -+$LESS -FRX`. This will be passed to the
|
|
shell by git, which will translate the final command to
|
|
`LESS=FRSX less -+FRSX -FRX`.
|
|
|
|
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 8 or more
|
|
space characters 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).
|
|
|
|
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. With this set to 'true', git will do the
|
|
index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
|
|
overlapping IO's.
|
|
|
|
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.sparseCheckout::
|
|
Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
|
|
linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
|
|
|
|
add.ignore-errors::
|
|
add.ignoreErrors::
|
|
Tells 'git add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
|
|
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the '--ignore-errors'
|
|
option of linkgit:git-add[1]. Older versions of git accept only
|
|
`add.ignore-errors`, which does not follow the usual naming
|
|
convention for configuration variables. Newer versions of git
|
|
honor `add.ignoreErrors` as well.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
quote pair and 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.
|
|
|
|
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].
|
|
|
|
apply.ignorewhitespace::
|
|
When set to 'change', tells 'git apply' to ignore changes in
|
|
whitespace, in the same way as the '--ignore-space-change'
|
|
option.
|
|
When set to one of: no, none, never, false tells 'git apply' to
|
|
respect all whitespace differences.
|
|
See linkgit:git-apply[1].
|
|
|
|
apply.whitespace::
|
|
Tells 'git apply' how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
|
|
as the '--whitespace' option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
|
|
|
|
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.<name>.remote::
|
|
When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' and 'git push' which
|
|
remote to fetch from/push to. It defaults to `origin` if no remote is
|
|
configured. `origin` is also used if you are not on any branch.
|
|
|
|
branch.<name>.merge::
|
|
Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
|
|
for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull' 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 special 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.
|
|
*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
|
|
it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
|
|
for details).
|
|
|
|
browser.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
Specify the command to invoke the specified browser. The
|
|
specified command is evaluated in shell with the URLs passed
|
|
as arguments. (See linkgit:git-web--browse[1].)
|
|
|
|
browser.<tool>.path::
|
|
Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
|
|
browse HTML help (see '-w' option in linkgit:git-help[1]) or a
|
|
working repository in gitweb (see linkgit:git-instaweb[1]).
|
|
|
|
clean.requireForce::
|
|
A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f
|
|
or -n. Defaults to true.
|
|
|
|
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. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
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/), `plain` (other
|
|
refs).
|
|
+
|
|
The value for these configuration variables is a list of colors (at most
|
|
two) and attributes (at most one), separated by spaces. The colors
|
|
accepted are `normal`, `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`,
|
|
`magenta`, `cyan` and `white`; the attributes are `bold`, `dim`, `ul`,
|
|
`blink` and `reverse`. The first color given is the foreground; the
|
|
second is the background. The position of the attribute, if any,
|
|
doesn't matter.
|
|
|
|
color.diff::
|
|
When set to `always`, always use colors in patch.
|
|
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use
|
|
colors only when the output is to the terminal. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
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 `plain` (context text), `meta` (metainformation), `frag`
|
|
(hunk header), 'func' (function in hunk header), `old` (removed lines),
|
|
`new` (added lines), `commit` (commit headers), or `whitespace`
|
|
(highlighting whitespace errors). The values of these variables may be
|
|
specified as in color.branch.<slot>.
|
|
|
|
color.decorate.<slot>::
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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. Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
color.grep.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for grep colorization. `<slot>` specifies which
|
|
part of the line to use the specified color, and is one of
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
`context`;;
|
|
non-matching text in context lines (when using `-A`, `-B`, or `-C`)
|
|
`filename`;;
|
|
filename prefix (when not using `-h`)
|
|
`function`;;
|
|
function name lines (when using `-p`)
|
|
`linenumber`;;
|
|
line number prefix (when using `-n`)
|
|
`match`;;
|
|
matching text
|
|
`selected`;;
|
|
non-matching text in selected lines
|
|
`separator`;;
|
|
separators between fields on a line (`:`, `-`, and `=`)
|
|
and between hunks (`--`)
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
The values of these variables may be specified as in color.branch.<slot>.
|
|
|
|
color.interactive::
|
|
When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts
|
|
and displays (such as those used by "git-add --interactive").
|
|
When false (or `never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use
|
|
colors only when the output is to the terminal. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
color.interactive.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for 'git add --interactive'
|
|
output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help` or `error`, for
|
|
four distinct types of normal output from interactive
|
|
commands. The values of these variables may be specified as
|
|
in color.branch.<slot>.
|
|
|
|
color.pager::
|
|
A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
|
|
use (default is true).
|
|
|
|
color.showbranch::
|
|
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
|
|
linkgit:git-show-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. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
color.status::
|
|
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
|
|
linkgit:git-status[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. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
color.status.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
|
|
one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
|
|
`added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
|
|
`changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
|
|
`untracked` (files which are not tracked by git), or
|
|
`nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting
|
|
to red). The values of these variables may be specified as in
|
|
color.branch.<slot>.
|
|
|
|
color.ui::
|
|
When set to `always`, always use colors in all git commands which
|
|
are capable of colored output. When false (or `never`), never. When
|
|
set to `true` or `auto`, use colors only when the output is to the
|
|
terminal. When more specific variables of color.* are set, they always
|
|
take precedence over this setting. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
commit.status::
|
|
A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
|
|
commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
|
|
message. Defaults to true.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
files, do not consider stat-only change as changed.
|
|
Instead, silently run `git update-index --refresh` to
|
|
update the cached stat information for paths whose
|
|
contents in the work tree match the contents in the
|
|
index. This option defaults to true. Note that this
|
|
affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level
|
|
'diff' commands such as 'git diff-files'.
|
|
|
|
diff.external::
|
|
If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
|
|
performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
|
|
given command. Can be overridden with the `GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF'
|
|
environment variable. The command is called with parameters
|
|
as described under "git Diffs" in linkgit:git[1]. Note: if
|
|
you want to use an external diff program only on a subset of
|
|
your files, you might want to use linkgit:gitattributes[5] instead.
|
|
|
|
diff.mnemonicprefix::
|
|
If set, 'git diff' uses a prefix pair that is different from the
|
|
standard "a/" and "b/" depending on what is being compared. When
|
|
this configuration is in effect, reverse diff output also swaps
|
|
the order of the prefixes:
|
|
`git diff`;;
|
|
compares the (i)ndex and the (w)ork tree;
|
|
`git diff HEAD`;;
|
|
compares a (c)ommit and the (w)ork tree;
|
|
`git diff --cached`;;
|
|
compares a (c)ommit and the (i)ndex;
|
|
`git diff HEAD:file1 file2`;;
|
|
compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
|
|
`git diff --no-index a b`;;
|
|
compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
|
|
|
|
diff.noprefix::
|
|
If set, 'git diff' does not show any source or destination prefix.
|
|
|
|
diff.renameLimit::
|
|
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
|
|
detection; equivalent to the 'git diff' option '-l'.
|
|
|
|
diff.renames::
|
|
Tells git to detect renames. If set to any boolean value, it
|
|
will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
|
|
"copy", it will detect copies, as well.
|
|
|
|
diff.ignoreSubmodules::
|
|
Sets the default value of --ignore-submodules. Note that this
|
|
affects only 'git diff' Porcelain, and not lower level 'diff'
|
|
commands such as 'git diff-files'. 'git checkout' also honors
|
|
this setting when reporting uncommitted changes.
|
|
|
|
diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
|
|
A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
|
|
before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
diff.tool::
|
|
Controls which diff tool is used. `diff.tool` overrides
|
|
`merge.tool` when used by linkgit:git-difftool[1] and has
|
|
the same valid values as `merge.tool` minus "tortoisemerge"
|
|
and plus "kompare".
|
|
|
|
difftool.<tool>.path::
|
|
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
|
|
your tool is not in the PATH.
|
|
|
|
difftool.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
|
|
The specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
|
|
variables available: 'LOCAL' is set to the name of the temporary
|
|
file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and 'REMOTE'
|
|
is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
|
|
of the diff post-image.
|
|
|
|
difftool.prompt::
|
|
Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
|
|
|
|
diff.wordRegex::
|
|
A POSIX Extended Regular Expression used to determine what is a "word"
|
|
when performing word-by-word difference calculations. Character
|
|
sequences that match the regular expression are "words", all other
|
|
characters are *ignorable* whitespace.
|
|
|
|
fetch.unpackLimit::
|
|
If the number of objects fetched over the git native
|
|
transfer is below this
|
|
limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
|
|
files. However if the number of received objects equals or
|
|
exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
|
|
a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
|
|
pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
|
|
especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
|
|
`transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
|
|
|
|
format.attach::
|
|
Enable multipart/mixed attachments as the default for
|
|
'format-patch'. The value can also be a double quoted string
|
|
which will enable attachments as the default and set the
|
|
value as the boundary. See the --attach option in
|
|
linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.numbered::
|
|
A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch
|
|
subjects. It defaults to "auto" which enables it only if there
|
|
is more than one patch. It can be enabled or disabled for all
|
|
messages by setting it to "true" or "false". See --numbered
|
|
option in linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.headers::
|
|
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
|
|
by mail. See linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.to::
|
|
format.cc::
|
|
Additional recipients to include in a patch to be submitted
|
|
by mail. See the --to and --cc options in
|
|
linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.subjectprefix::
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
|
|
subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
|
|
|
|
format.signature::
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
|
|
the git version number. Use this variable to change that default.
|
|
Set this variable to the empty string ("") to suppress
|
|
signature generation.
|
|
|
|
format.suffix::
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output files with the suffix
|
|
`.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
|
|
include the dot if you want it).
|
|
|
|
format.pretty::
|
|
The default pretty format for log/show/whatchanged command,
|
|
See linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1],
|
|
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1].
|
|
|
|
format.thread::
|
|
The default threading style for 'git format-patch'. Can be
|
|
a boolean value, or `shallow` or `deep`. `shallow` threading
|
|
makes every mail a reply to the head of the series,
|
|
where the head is chosen from the cover letter, the
|
|
`\--in-reply-to`, and the first patch mail, in this order.
|
|
`deep` threading makes every mail a reply to the previous one.
|
|
A true boolean value is the same as `shallow`, and a false
|
|
value disables threading.
|
|
|
|
format.signoff::
|
|
A boolean value which lets you enable the `-s/--signoff` option of
|
|
format-patch by default. *Note:* Adding the Signed-off-by: line to a
|
|
patch should be a conscious act and means that you certify you have
|
|
the rights to submit this work under the same open source license.
|
|
Please see the 'SubmittingPatches' document for further discussion.
|
|
|
|
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.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 `nobare`
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
gc.reflogexpire::
|
|
gc.<pattern>.reflogexpire::
|
|
'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
|
|
this time; defaults to 90 days. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
|
|
"refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
|
|
the refs that match the <pattern>.
|
|
|
|
gc.reflogexpireunreachable::
|
|
gc.<ref>.reflogexpireunreachable::
|
|
'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
|
|
this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
|
|
defaults to 30 days. 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.commitmsgannotation::
|
|
Append this string to each commit message. Set to empty string
|
|
to disable this feature. Defaults to "via git-CVS emulator".
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.enabled::
|
|
Whether the CVS server interface is enabled for this repository.
|
|
See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.logfile::
|
|
Path to a log file where the CVS server interface well... logs
|
|
various stuff. See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.usecrlfattr::
|
|
If true, the server will look up the end-of-line conversion
|
|
attributes for files to determine the '-k' modes to use. If
|
|
the attributes force git to treat a file as text,
|
|
the '-k' mode will be left blank so CVS clients will
|
|
treat it as text. If they suppress text conversion, the file
|
|
will be set with '-kb' mode, which suppresses any newline munging
|
|
the client might otherwise do. If the attributes do not allow
|
|
the file type to be determined, then 'gitcvs.allbinary' is
|
|
used. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.allbinary::
|
|
This is used if 'gitcvs.usecrlfattr' does not resolve
|
|
the correct '-kb' mode to use. If true, all
|
|
unresolved files are sent to the client in
|
|
mode '-kb'. This causes the client to treat them
|
|
as binary files, which suppresses any newline munging it
|
|
otherwise might do. Alternatively, if it is set to "guess",
|
|
then the contents of the file are examined to decide if
|
|
it is binary, similar to 'core.autocrlf'.
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.dbname::
|
|
Database used by git-cvsserver to cache revision information
|
|
derived from the git repository. The exact meaning depends on the
|
|
used database driver, for SQLite (which is the default driver) this
|
|
is a filename. Supports variable substitution (see
|
|
linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details). May not contain semicolons (`;`).
|
|
Default: '%Ggitcvs.%m.sqlite'
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.dbdriver::
|
|
Used Perl DBI driver. You can specify any available driver
|
|
for this here, but it might not work. git-cvsserver is tested
|
|
with 'DBD::SQLite', reported to work with 'DBD::Pg', and
|
|
reported *not* to work with 'DBD::mysql'. Experimental feature.
|
|
May not contain double colons (`:`). Default: 'SQLite'.
|
|
See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.dbuser, gitcvs.dbpass::
|
|
Database user and password. Only useful if setting 'gitcvs.dbdriver',
|
|
since SQLite has no concept of database users and/or passwords.
|
|
'gitcvs.dbuser' supports variable substitution (see
|
|
linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.dbTableNamePrefix::
|
|
Database table name prefix. Prepended to the names of any
|
|
database tables used, allowing a single database to be used
|
|
for several repositories. Supports variable substitution (see
|
|
linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details). Any non-alphabetic
|
|
characters will be replaced with underscores.
|
|
|
|
All gitcvs variables except for 'gitcvs.usecrlfattr' and
|
|
'gitcvs.allbinary' can also be specified as
|
|
'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method'
|
|
is one of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given
|
|
access method.
|
|
|
|
gui.commitmsgwidth::
|
|
Defines how wide the commit message window is in the
|
|
linkgit:git-gui[1]. "75" is the default.
|
|
|
|
gui.diffcontext::
|
|
Specifies how many context lines should be used in calls to diff
|
|
made by the linkgit:git-gui[1]. The default is "5".
|
|
|
|
gui.encoding::
|
|
Specifies the default encoding to use for displaying of
|
|
file contents in linkgit:git-gui[1] and linkgit:gitk[1].
|
|
It can be overridden by setting the 'encoding' attribute
|
|
for relevant files (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
|
|
If this option is not set, the tools default to the
|
|
locale encoding.
|
|
|
|
gui.matchtrackingbranch::
|
|
Determines if new branches created with linkgit:git-gui[1] should
|
|
default to tracking remote branches with matching names or
|
|
not. Default: "false".
|
|
|
|
gui.newbranchtemplate::
|
|
Is used as suggested name when creating new branches using the
|
|
linkgit:git-gui[1].
|
|
|
|
gui.pruneduringfetch::
|
|
"true" if linkgit:git-gui[1] should prune remote-tracking branches when
|
|
performing a fetch. The default value is "false".
|
|
|
|
gui.trustmtime::
|
|
Determines if linkgit:git-gui[1] should trust the file modification
|
|
timestamp or not. By default the timestamps are not trusted.
|
|
|
|
gui.spellingdictionary::
|
|
Specifies the dictionary used for spell checking commit messages in
|
|
the linkgit:git-gui[1]. When set to "none" spell checking is turned
|
|
off.
|
|
|
|
gui.fastcopyblame::
|
|
If true, 'git gui blame' uses `-C` instead of `-C -C` for original
|
|
location detection. It makes blame significantly faster on huge
|
|
repositories at the expense of less thorough copy detection.
|
|
|
|
gui.copyblamethreshold::
|
|
Specifies the threshold to use in 'git gui blame' original location
|
|
detection, measured in alphanumeric characters. See the
|
|
linkgit:git-blame[1] manual for more information on copy detection.
|
|
|
|
gui.blamehistoryctx::
|
|
Specifies the radius of history context in days to show in
|
|
linkgit:gitk[1] for the selected commit, when the `Show History
|
|
Context` menu item is invoked from 'git gui blame'. If this
|
|
variable is set to zero, the whole history is shown.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
help.browser::
|
|
Specify the browser that will be used to display help in the
|
|
'web' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
help.format::
|
|
Override the default help format used by linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
Values 'man', 'info', 'web' and 'html' are supported. 'man' is
|
|
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
|
|
will be executed. If the value of this option is negative,
|
|
the corrected command will be executed immediately. If the
|
|
value is 0 - the command will be just shown but not executed.
|
|
This is the default.
|
|
|
|
http.proxy::
|
|
Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy'
|
|
environment variable (see linkgit:curl[1]). This can be overridden
|
|
on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
|
|
|
|
http.sslVerify::
|
|
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
|
|
over HTTPS. 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.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.
|
|
|
|
i18n.commitEncoding::
|
|
Character encoding the commit messages are stored in; git itself
|
|
does not care per se, but this information is necessary e.g. when
|
|
importing commits from emails or in the gitk graphical history
|
|
browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
|
|
porcelains). See e.g. linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
|
|
|
|
i18n.logOutputEncoding::
|
|
Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
|
|
running 'git log' and friends.
|
|
|
|
imap::
|
|
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
|
|
in linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
|
|
|
|
init.templatedir::
|
|
Specify the directory from which templates will be copied.
|
|
(See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
|
|
|
|
instaweb.browser::
|
|
Specify the program that will be used to browse your working
|
|
repository in gitweb. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
|
|
|
|
instaweb.httpd::
|
|
The HTTP daemon command-line to start gitweb on your working
|
|
repository. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
|
|
|
|
instaweb.local::
|
|
If true the web server started by linkgit:git-instaweb[1] will
|
|
be bound to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
|
|
|
|
instaweb.modulepath::
|
|
The default module path for linkgit:git-instaweb[1] to use
|
|
instead of /usr/lib/apache2/modules. Only used if httpd
|
|
is Apache.
|
|
|
|
instaweb.port::
|
|
The port number to bind the gitweb httpd to. See
|
|
linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
|
|
|
|
interactive.singlekey::
|
|
In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
|
|
input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
|
|
Currently this is used only by the `\--patch` mode of
|
|
linkgit:git-add[1]. Note that this setting is silently
|
|
ignored if portable keystroke input is not available.
|
|
|
|
log.date::
|
|
Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
|
|
Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
|
|
`\--date` option. Possible values are `relative`, `local`,
|
|
`default`, `iso`, `rfc`, and `short`; see linkgit:git-log[1]
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
log.decorate::
|
|
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
|
|
command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
|
|
'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
|
|
specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
|
|
This is the same as the log commands '--decorate' option.
|
|
|
|
log.showroot::
|
|
If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
|
|
This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
|
|
Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
|
|
normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
|
|
|
|
mailmap.file::
|
|
The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default
|
|
mailmap, located in the root of the repository, is loaded
|
|
first, then the mailmap file pointed to by this variable.
|
|
The location of the mailmap file may be in a repository
|
|
subdirectory, or somewhere outside of the repository itself.
|
|
See linkgit:git-shortlog[1] and linkgit:git-blame[1].
|
|
|
|
man.viewer::
|
|
Specify the programs that may be used to display help in the
|
|
'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
man.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
Specify the command to invoke the specified man viewer. The
|
|
specified command is evaluated in shell with the man page
|
|
passed as argument. (See linkgit:git-help[1].)
|
|
|
|
man.<tool>.path::
|
|
Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
|
|
display help in the 'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
include::merge-config.txt[]
|
|
|
|
mergetool.<tool>.path::
|
|
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
|
|
your tool is not in the PATH.
|
|
|
|
mergetool.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
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.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.prompt::
|
|
Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
|
|
|
|
notes.displayRef::
|
|
The (fully qualified) refname from which to show notes when
|
|
showing commit messages. The value of this variable can be set
|
|
to a glob, in which case notes from all matching refs will be
|
|
shown. You may also specify this configuration variable
|
|
several times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not
|
|
exist, but a glob that does not match any refs is silently
|
|
ignored.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
|
|
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
|
|
globs.
|
|
+
|
|
The effective value of "core.notesRef" (possibly overridden by
|
|
GIT_NOTES_REF) is also implicitly added to the list of refs to be
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
notes.rewrite.<command>::
|
|
When rewriting commits with <command> (currently `amend` or
|
|
`rebase`) and this variable is set to `true`, git
|
|
automatically copies your notes from the original to the
|
|
rewritten commit. Defaults to `true`, but see
|
|
"notes.rewriteRef" below.
|
|
|
|
notes.rewriteMode::
|
|
When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
|
|
"notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
|
|
the target commit already has a note. Must be one of
|
|
`overwrite`, `concatenate`, or `ignore`. Defaults to
|
|
`concatenate`.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE`
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
notes.rewriteRef::
|
|
When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
|
|
qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. The ref may be a
|
|
glob, in which case notes in all matching refs will be copied.
|
|
You may also specify this configuration several times.
|
|
+
|
|
Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
|
|
enable note rewriting.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
|
|
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
|
|
globs.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
pack.windowMemory::
|
|
The window memory size limit used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
|
|
when no limit is given on the command line. The value can be
|
|
suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". Defaults to 0, meaning 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.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.
|
|
|
|
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 `{asterisk}.idx` file,
|
|
cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http" and "rsync")
|
|
that will copy both `{asterisk}.pack` file and corresponding `{asterisk}.idx` file from the
|
|
other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
|
|
older version of git. If the `{asterisk}.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
|
|
you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
|
|
the `{asterisk}.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]. The minimum size allowed is
|
|
limited to 1 MiB. The default is unlimited.
|
|
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
pager.<cmd>::
|
|
Allows turning on or off pagination of the output of a
|
|
particular git subcommand when writing to a tty. If
|
|
`\--paginate` or `\--no-pager` is specified on the command line,
|
|
it takes precedence over this option. To disable pagination for
|
|
all commands, set `core.pager` or `GIT_PAGER` to `cat`.
|
|
|
|
pretty.<name>::
|
|
Alias for a --pretty= format string, as specified in
|
|
linkgit:git-log[1]. Any aliases defined here can be used just
|
|
as the built-in pretty formats could. For example,
|
|
running `git config pretty.changelog "format:{asterisk} %H %s"`
|
|
would cause the invocation `git log --pretty=changelog`
|
|
to be equivalent to running `git log "--pretty=format:{asterisk} %H %s"`.
|
|
Note that an alias with the same name as a built-in format
|
|
will be silently ignored.
|
|
|
|
pull.octopus::
|
|
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
|
|
at once.
|
|
|
|
pull.twohead::
|
|
The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
|
|
|
|
push.default::
|
|
Defines the action git push should take if no refspec is given
|
|
on the command line, no refspec is configured in the remote, and
|
|
no refspec is implied by any of the options given on the command
|
|
line. Possible values are:
|
|
+
|
|
* `nothing` - do not push anything.
|
|
* `matching` - push all matching branches.
|
|
All branches having the same name in both ends are considered to be
|
|
matching. This is the default.
|
|
* `tracking` - push the current branch to its upstream branch.
|
|
* `current` - push the current branch to a branch of the same name.
|
|
|
|
rebase.stat::
|
|
Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
|
|
rebase. False by default.
|
|
|
|
rebase.autosquash::
|
|
If set to true enable '--autosquash' option 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
|
|
broken link. The result of an abort are only dangling objects.
|
|
Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
receive.unpackLimit::
|
|
If the number of objects received in a push is below this
|
|
limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
|
|
files. However if the number of received objects equals or
|
|
exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
|
|
a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
|
|
pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
|
|
especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
|
|
`transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
|
|
|
|
receive.denyDeletes::
|
|
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
|
|
the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
|
|
|
|
receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
|
|
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
|
|
deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
|
|
|
|
receive.denyCurrentBranch::
|
|
If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
|
|
to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
|
|
Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
|
|
out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
|
|
print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
|
|
proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
|
|
message. Defaults to "refuse".
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
|
|
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].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.pushurl::
|
|
The push URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-push[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.proxy::
|
|
For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the URL to
|
|
the proxy to use for that remote. Set to the empty string to
|
|
disable proxying for that remote.
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.fetch::
|
|
The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-fetch[1]. See
|
|
linkgit:git-fetch[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.push::
|
|
The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-push[1]. See
|
|
linkgit:git-push[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.mirror::
|
|
If true, pushing to this remote will automatically behave
|
|
as if the `\--mirror` option was given on the command line.
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate::
|
|
If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating
|
|
using linkgit:git-fetch[1] or the `update` subcommand of
|
|
linkgit:git-remote[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.skipFetchAll::
|
|
If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating
|
|
using linkgit:git-fetch[1] or the `update` subcommand of
|
|
linkgit:git-remote[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.receivepack::
|
|
The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
|
|
option \--receive-pack of linkgit:git-push[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.uploadpack::
|
|
The default program to execute on the remote side when fetching. See
|
|
option \--upload-pack of linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.tagopt::
|
|
Setting this value to \--no-tags disables automatic tag following when
|
|
fetching from remote <name>. Setting it to \--tags will fetch every
|
|
tag from remote <name>, even if they are not reachable from remote
|
|
branch heads. Passing these flags directly to linkgit:git-fetch[1] can
|
|
override this setting. See options \--tags and \--no-tags of
|
|
linkgit:git-fetch[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.vcs::
|
|
Setting this to a value <vcs> will cause git to interact with
|
|
the remote with the git-remote-<vcs> helper.
|
|
|
|
remotes.<group>::
|
|
The list of remotes which are fetched by "git remote update
|
|
<group>". See linkgit:git-remote[1].
|
|
|
|
repack.usedeltabaseoffset::
|
|
By default, linkgit:git-repack[1] creates packs that use
|
|
delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with
|
|
git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb
|
|
protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to
|
|
"false" and repack. Access from old git versions over the
|
|
native protocol are unaffected by this option.
|
|
|
|
rerere.autoupdate::
|
|
When set to true, `git-rerere` updates the index with the
|
|
resulting contents after it cleanly resolves conflicts using
|
|
previously recorded resolution. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
rerere.enabled::
|
|
Activate recording of resolved conflicts, so that identical
|
|
conflict hunks can be resolved automatically, should they
|
|
be encountered again. linkgit:git-rerere[1] command is by
|
|
default enabled if you create `rr-cache` directory under
|
|
`$GIT_DIR`, but can be disabled by setting this option to false.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.identity::
|
|
A configuration identity. When given, causes values in the
|
|
'sendemail.<identity>' subsection to take precedence over
|
|
values in the 'sendemail' section. The default identity is
|
|
the value of 'sendemail.identity'.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.smtpencryption::
|
|
See linkgit:git-send-email[1] for description. Note that this
|
|
setting is not subject to the 'identity' mechanism.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.smtpssl::
|
|
Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.smtpencryption = ssl'.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.<identity>.*::
|
|
Identity-specific versions of the 'sendemail.*' parameters
|
|
found below, taking precedence over those when the this
|
|
identity is selected, through command-line or
|
|
'sendemail.identity'.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.aliasesfile::
|
|
sendemail.aliasfiletype::
|
|
sendemail.bcc::
|
|
sendemail.cc::
|

|
|
|
sendemail.signedoffcc::
|
|
Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.signedoffbycc'.
|
|
|
|
showbranch.default::
|
|
The default set of branches for linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
|
|
See linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
|
|
|
|
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.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
|
|
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]).
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.path::
|
|
submodule.<name>.url::
|
|
submodule.<name>.update::
|
|
The path within this project, URL, and the updating strategy
|
|
for a submodule. These variables are initially populated
|
|
by 'git submodule init'; edit them to override the
|
|
URL and other values found in the `.gitmodules` file. See
|
|
linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.ignore::
|
|
Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
|
|
a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
|
|
modified, "dirty" will ignore all changes to the submodules work tree and
|
|
takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
|
|
recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
|
|
let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
|
|
Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
|
|
submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
|
|
This setting overrides any setting made in .gitmodules for this submodule,
|
|
both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
|
|
"--ignore-submodules" option.
|
|
|
|
tar.umask::
|
|
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
|
|
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
|
|
world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
|
|
archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) and
|
|
linkgit:git-archive[1].
|
|
|
|
transfer.unpackLimit::
|
|
When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
|
|
not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
|
|
The default value is 100.
|
|
|
|
url.<base>.insteadOf::
|
|
Any URL that starts with this value will be rewritten to
|
|
start, instead, with <base>. In cases where some site serves a
|
|
large number of repositories, and serves them with multiple
|
|
access methods, and some users need to use different access
|
|
methods, this feature allows people to specify any of the
|
|
equivalent URLs and have git automatically rewrite the URL to
|
|
the best alternative for the particular user, even for a
|
|
never-before-seen repository on the site. When more than one
|
|
insteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is used.
|
|
|
|
url.<base>.pushInsteadOf::
|
|
Any URL that starts with this value will not be pushed to;
|
|
instead, it will be rewritten to start with <base>, and the
|
|
resulting URL will be pushed to. In cases where some site serves
|
|
a large number of repositories, and serves them with multiple
|
|
access methods, some of which do not allow push, this feature
|
|
allows people to specify a pull-only URL and have git
|
|
automatically use an appropriate URL to push, even for a
|
|
never-before-seen repository on the site. When more than one
|
|
pushInsteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is
|
|
used. If a remote has an explicit pushurl, git will ignore this
|
|
setting for that remote.
|
|
|
|
user.email::
|
|
Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
|
|
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL', 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL', and
|
|
'EMAIL' environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
|
|
|
|
user.name::
|
|
Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits.
|
|
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME' and 'GIT_COMMITTER_NAME'
|
|
environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
|
|
|
|
user.signingkey::
|
|
If linkgit:git-tag[1] is not selecting the key you want it to
|
|
automatically when creating a signed tag, you can override the
|
|
default selection with this variable. This option is passed
|
|
unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter, so you may specify a key
|
|
using any method that gpg supports.
|
|
|
|
web.browser::
|
|
Specify a web browser that may be used by some commands.
|
|
Currently only linkgit:git-instaweb[1] and linkgit:git-help[1]
|
|
may use it.
|
