+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.
++
+Note that the first word of an alias does not necessarily have to be a
+command. It can be a command-line option that will be passed into the
+invocation of `git`. In particular, this is useful when used with `-c`
+to pass in one-time configurations or `-p` to force pagination. For example,
+`loud-rebase = -c commit.verbose=true rebase` can be defined such that
+running `git loud-rebase` would be equivalent to
+`git -c commit.verbose=true rebase`. Also, `ps = -p status` would be a
+helpful alias since `git ps` would paginate the output of `git status`
+where the original command does not.
++
+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].

+branch.autoSetupMerge::
+ Tells 'git branch', 'git switch' 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', 'git switch' 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` (or just 'm'), 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` (or just 'p', deprecated in favor of `merges`), 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` (or just 'i'), 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.

+
+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),

+ 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).

+
+color.interactive::
+ When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts
+ 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

+
+color.interactive.<slot>::
+ Use customized color for 'git add --interactive' and 'git clean
+ --interactive' output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help`
+ or `error`, for four distinct types of normal output from
+ 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.
+
+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. If unset, then the
+ value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
+
+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. If unset, then the
+ value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default).
+
+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),
+ `branch` (the current branch),
+ `nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting
+ 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.

+core.fileMode::
+ Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
+ is to be honored.
++
+Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
+marked as executable is checked out, or checks out a
+non-executable file with executable bit on.
+linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
+to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
+and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
++
+A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
+the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
+when created, but later may be made accessible from another
+environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
+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.fsmonitorHookVersion::
+ Sets the version of hook that is to be used when calling fsmonitor.
+ There are currently versions 1 and 2. When this is not set,
+ version 2 will be tried first and if it fails then version 1
+ will be tried. Version 1 uses a timestamp as input to determine
+ which files have changes since that time but some monitors
+ like watchman have race conditions when used with a timestamp.
+ Version 2 uses an opaque string so that the monitor can return
+ something that can be used to determine what files have changed
+ without race conditions.
+
+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, unless
+ `feature.manyFiles` is enabled which sets this setting to
+ `true` 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 are marked as text (either by having the `text`
+ attribute set, or by having `text=auto` and Git auto-detecting
+ the contents as text).
+ 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. Note that this value is ignored if `core.autocrlf`
+ is set to `true` or `input`.
+
+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 per thread 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.unsetenvvars::
+ Windows-only: comma-separated list of environment variables'
+ names that need to be unset before spawning any other process.
+ Defaults to `PERL5LIB` to account for the fact that Git for
+ Windows insists on using its own Perl interpreter.
+
+core.restrictinheritedhandles::
+ Windows-only: override whether spawned processes inherit only standard
+ file handles (`stdin`, `stdout` and `stderr`) or all handles. Can be
+ `auto`, `true` or `false`. Defaults to `auto`, which means `true` on
+ Windows 7 and later, and `false` on older Windows versions.
+
+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 true. 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 linkgit:git-multi-pack-index[1] for more
+ information. Defaults to true.
+
+core.sparseCheckout::
+ Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[1]
+ for more information.
+
+core.sparseCheckoutCone::
+ Enables the "cone mode" of the sparse checkout feature. When the
+ sparse-checkout file contains a limited set of patterns, then this
+ mode provides significant performance advantages. See
+ linkgit:git-sparse-checkout[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.

+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.dirstat::
+ A comma separated list of `--dirstat` parameters specifying the
+ default behavior of the `--dirstat` option to linkgit:git-diff[1]
+ and friends. The defaults can be overridden on the command line
+ (using `--dirstat=<param1,param2,...>`). The fallback defaults
+ (when not changed by `diff.dirstat`) are `changes,noncumulative,3`.
+ The following parameters are available:
++
+--
+`changes`;;
+ Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the lines that have been
+ removed from the source, or added to the destination. This ignores
+ the amount of pure code movements within a file. In other words,
+ rearranging lines in a file is not counted as much as other changes.
+ This is the default behavior when no parameter is given.
+`lines`;;
+ Compute the dirstat numbers by doing the regular line-based diff
+ analysis, and summing the removed/added line counts. (For binary
+ files, count 64-byte chunks instead, since binary files have no
+ natural concept of lines). This is a more expensive `--dirstat`
+ behavior than the `changes` behavior, but it does count rearranged
+ lines within a file as much as other changes. The resulting output
+ is consistent with what you get from the other `--*stat` options.
+`files`;;
+ Compute the dirstat numbers by counting the number of files changed.
+ Each changed file counts equally in the dirstat analysis. This is
+ the computationally cheapest `--dirstat` behavior, since it does
+ not have to look at the file contents at all.
+`cumulative`;;
+ Count changes in a child directory for the parent directory as well.
+ Note that when using `cumulative`, the sum of the percentages
+ reported may exceed 100%. The default (non-cumulative) behavior can
+ be specified with the `noncumulative` parameter.
+<limit>;;
+ An integer parameter specifies a cut-off percent (3% by default).
+ Directories contributing less than this percentage of the changes
+ are not shown in the output.
+--
++
+Example: The following will count changed files, while ignoring
+directories with less than 10% of the total amount of changed files,
+and accumulating child directory counts in the parent directories:
+`files,10,cumulative`.
+
+diff.statGraphWidth::
+ Limit the width of the graph part in --stat output. If set, applies
+ to all commands generating --stat output except format-patch.
+
+diff.context::
+ Generate diffs with <n> lines of context instead of the default
+ of 3. This value is overridden by the -U option.
+
+diff.interHunkContext::
+ Show the context between diff hunks, up to the specified number
+ of lines, thereby fusing the hunks that are close to each other.
+ This value serves as the default for the `--inter-hunk-context`
+ command line option.
+
+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.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'
+ and 'git switch' also honor
+ this setting when reporting uncommitted changes. Setting it to
+ 'all' disables the submodule summary normally shown by 'git commit'
+ and 'git status' when `status.submoduleSummary` is set unless it is
+ overridden by using the --ignore-submodules command-line option.
+ The 'git submodule' commands are not affected by this setting.
+
+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.relative::
+ If set to 'true', 'git diff' does not show changes outside of the directory
+ and show pathnames relative to the current directory.
+
+diff.orderFile::
+ File indicating how to order files within a diff.
+ See the '-O' option to linkgit:git-diff[1] for details.
+ If `diff.orderFile` is a relative pathname, it is treated as
+ relative to the top of the working tree.
+
+diff.renameLimit::
+ The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
+ detection; equivalent to the 'git diff' option `-l`. This setting
+ has no effect if rename detection is turned off.
+
+diff.renames::
+ Whether and how Git detects renames. 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 true. Note that this
+ affects only 'git diff' Porcelain like linkgit:git-diff[1] and
+ linkgit:git-log[1], and not lower level commands such as
+ linkgit:git-diff-files[1].
+
+diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
+ A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
+ before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
+
+diff.submodule::
+ Specify the format in which differences in submodules are
+ shown. The "short" format just shows the names of the commits
+ at the beginning and end of the range. The "log" format lists
+ the commits in the range like linkgit:git-submodule[1] `summary`
+ does. The "diff" format shows an inline diff of the changed
+ contents of the submodule. Defaults to "short".
+
+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.
+
+diff.<driver>.command::

+
+diff.algorithm::
+ Choose a diff algorithm. The variants are as follows:
++
+--
+`default`, `myers`;;
+ The basic greedy diff algorithm. Currently, this is the default.
+`minimal`;;
+ Spend extra time to make sure the smallest possible diff is
+ produced.
+`patience`;;
+ Use "patience diff" algorithm when generating patches.
+`histogram`;;
+ This algorithm extends the patience algorithm to "support
+ low-occurrence common elements".
+--
++
+
+diff.wsErrorHighlight::
+ Highlight whitespace errors in the `context`, `old` or `new`
+ lines of the diff. Multiple values are separated by comma,
+ `none` resets previous values, `default` reset the list to
+ `new` and `all` is a shorthand for `old,new,context`. The
+ whitespace errors are colored with `color.diff.whitespace`.
+ The command line option `--ws-error-highlight=<kind>`
+ overrides this setting.
+
+diff.colorMoved::
+ If set to either a valid `<mode>` or a true value, moved lines
+ in a diff are colored differently, for details of valid modes
+ see '--color-moved' in linkgit:git-diff[1]. If simply set to
+ true the default color mode will be used. When set to false,
+ moved lines are not colored.
+
+diff.colorMovedWS::
+ When moved lines are colored using e.g. the `diff.colorMoved` setting,
+ this option controls the `<mode>` how spaces are treated
+ for details of valid modes see '--color-moved-ws' in linkgit:git-diff[1].

+feature.*::
+ The config settings that start with `feature.` modify the defaults of
+ a group of other config settings. These groups are created by the Git
+ developer community as recommended defaults and are subject to change.
+ In particular, new config options may be added with different defaults.
+
+feature.experimental::
+ Enable config options that are new to Git, and are being considered for
+ future defaults. Config settings included here may be added or removed
+ with each release, including minor version updates. These settings may
+ have unintended interactions since they are so new. Please enable this
+ setting if you are interested in providing feedback on experimental
+ features. The new default values are:
++
+* `fetch.negotiationAlgorithm=skipping` may improve fetch negotiation times by
+skipping more commits at a time, reducing the number of round trips.
+
+feature.manyFiles::
+ Enable config options that optimize for repos with many files in the
+ working directory. With many files, commands such as `git status` and
+ `git checkout` may be slow and these new defaults improve performance:
++
+* `index.version=4` enables path-prefix compression in the index.
++
+* `core.untrackedCache=true` enables the untracked cache. This setting assumes
+that mtime is working on your machine.

+fetch.recurseSubmodules::
+ This option controls whether `git fetch` (and the underlying fetch
+ in `git pull`) will recursively fetch into populated submodules.
+ This option can be set either to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.
+ Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to
+ recurse unconditionally into submodules when set to true or to not
+ recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand', fetch and
+ pull will only recurse into a populated submodule when its
+ superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
+ reference.
+ Defaults to 'on-demand', or to the value of 'submodule.recurse' if set.
+
+fetch.fsckObjects::
+ If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched
+ objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's
+ checked. Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
+ `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
+
+fetch.fsck.<msg-id>::
+ Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by
+ linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
+ the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for details.
+
+fetch.fsck.skipList::
+ Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
+ linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1] instead of linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See
+ the `fsck.skipList` documentation for details.
+
+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.
+
+fetch.prune::
+ If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune`
+ option was given on the command line. See also `remote.<name>.prune`
+ and the PRUNING section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+
+fetch.pruneTags::
+ If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the
+ `refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*` refspec was provided when pruning,
+ if not set already. This allows for setting both this option
+ and `fetch.prune` to maintain a 1=1 mapping to upstream
+ refs. See also `remote.<name>.pruneTags` and the PRUNING
+ section of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+
+fetch.output::
+ Control how ref update status is printed. Valid values are
+ `full` and `compact`. Default value is `full`. See section
+ OUTPUT in linkgit:git-fetch[1] for detail.
+
+fetch.negotiationAlgorithm::
+ Control how information about the commits in the local repository is
+ sent when negotiating the contents of the packfile to be sent by the
+ server. Set to "skipping" to use an algorithm that skips commits in an
+ effort to converge faster, but may result in a larger-than-necessary
+ packfile; or set to "noop" to not send any information at all, which
+ will almost certainly result in a larger-than-necessary packfile, but
+ will skip the negotiation step.
+ The default is "default" which instructs Git to use the default algorithm
+ that never skips commits (unless the server has acknowledged it or one
+ of its descendants). If `feature.experimental` is enabled, then this
+ setting defaults to "skipping".
+ Unknown values will cause 'git fetch' to error out.
++
+See also the `--negotiation-tip` option for linkgit:git-fetch[1].
+
+fetch.showForcedUpdates::
+ Set to false to enable `--no-show-forced-updates` in
+ linkgit:git-fetch[1] and linkgit:git-pull[1] commands.
+ Defaults to true.
+
+fetch.parallel::
+ Specifies the maximal number of fetch operations to be run in parallel
+ at a time (submodules, or remotes when the `--multiple` option of
+ linkgit:git-fetch[1] is in effect).
++
+A value of 0 will give some reasonable default. If unset, it defaults to 1.
++
+For submodules, this setting can be overridden using the `submodule.fetchJobs`
+config setting.
+
+fetch.writeCommitGraph::
+ Set to true to write a commit-graph after every `git fetch` command
+ that downloads a pack-file from a remote. Using the `--split` option,
+ most executions will create a very small commit-graph file on top of
+ the existing commit-graph file(s). Occasionally, these files will
+ merge and the write may take longer. Having an updated commit-graph
+ file helps performance of many Git commands, including `git merge-base`,
+ `git push -f`, and `git log --graph`. Defaults to false.

+ linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
+
+format.from::
+ Provides the default value for the `--from` option to format-patch.
+ Accepts a boolean value, or a name and email address. If false,
+ format-patch defaults to `--no-from`, using commit authors directly in
+ the "From:" field of patch mails. If true, format-patch defaults to

+
+format.numbered::
+ A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch

+ The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
+ subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
+
+format.coverFromDescription::
+ The default mode for format-patch to determine which parts of
+ the cover letter will be populated using the branch's
+ description. See the `--cover-from-description` option in
+ linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
+
+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.signatureFile::
+ Works just like format.signature except the contents of the
+ file specified by this variable will be used as the signature.
+
+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.encodeEmailHeaders::
+ Encode email headers that have non-ASCII characters with
+ "Q-encoding" (described in RFC 2047) for email transmission.
+ Defaults to true.
+
+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` trailer 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.
+
+format.coverLetter::
+ A boolean that controls whether to generate a cover-letter when
+ format-patch is invoked, but in addition can be set to "auto", to
+ generate a cover-letter only when there's more than one patch.
+ Default is false.
+
+format.outputDirectory::
+ Set a custom directory to store the resulting files instead of the
+ current working directory. All directory components will be created.
+
+format.filenameMaxLength::
+ The maximum length of the output filenames generated by the
+ `format-patch` command; defaults to 64. Can be overridden
+ by the `--filename-max-length=<n>` command line option.
+
+format.useAutoBase::
+ A boolean value which lets you enable the `--base=auto` option of
+ format-patch by default. Can also be set to "whenAble" to allow
+ enabling `--base=auto` if a suitable base is available, but to skip
+ adding base info otherwise without the format dying.
+
+format.notes::
+ Provides the default value for the `--notes` option to
+ format-patch. Accepts a boolean value, or a ref which specifies
+ where to get notes. If false, format-patch defaults to
+ `--no-notes`. If true, format-patch defaults to `--notes`. If
+ set to a non-boolean value, format-patch defaults to
+ `--notes=<ref>`, where `ref` is the non-boolean value. Defaults
+ to false.
++
+If one wishes to use the ref `ref/notes/true`, please use that literal
+instead.
++
+This configuration can be specified multiple times in order to allow
+multiple notes refs to be included. In that case, it will behave
+similarly to multiple `--[no-]notes[=]` options passed in. That is, a
+value of `true` will show the default notes, a value of `<ref>` will
+also show notes from that notes ref and a value of `false` will negate
+previous configurations and not show notes.
++
+For example,
++
+------------
+[format]
+ notes = true
+ notes = foo
+ notes = false
+ notes = bar

+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.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 not only automatic packing based on the
+number of loose objects, but any other heuristic `git gc --auto` will
+otherwise use to determine if there's work to do, such as
+`gc.autoPackLimit`.
+
+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.
+ Setting `gc.auto` to 0 will also disable this.
++
+See the `gc.bigPackThreshold` configuration variable below. When in
+use, it'll affect how the auto pack limit works.
+
+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-largest-pack`
+ except that all packs that meet the threshold are kept, not
+ just the largest 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.
++
+If the amount of memory estimated for `git repack` to run smoothly is
+not available and `gc.bigPackThreshold` is not set, the largest pack
+will also be excluded (this is the equivalent of running `git gc` with
+`--keep-largest-pack`).
+
+gc.writeCommitGraph::
+ If true, then gc will rewrite the commit-graph file when
+ linkgit:git-gc[1] is run. When using `git gc --auto`
+ the commit-graph will be updated if housekeeping is
+ required. Default is true. 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>.
++
+These types of entries are generally created as a result of using `git
+commit --amend` or `git rebase` and are the commits prior to the amend
+or rebase occurring. Since these changes are not part of the current
+project most users will want to expire them sooner, which is why the
+default is more aggressive than `gc.reflogExpire`.
+
+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.

+ 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

+ 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

++
+--
+* `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.proxySSLCert::
+ The pathname of a file that stores a client certificate to use to authenticate
+ with an HTTPS proxy. Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_SSL_CERT` environment
+ variable.
+
+http.proxySSLKey::
+ The pathname of a file that stores a private key to use to authenticate with
+ an HTTPS proxy. Can be overridden by the `GIT_PROXY_SSL_KEY` environment
+ variable.
+
+http.proxySSLCertPasswordProtected::
+ Enable Git's password prompt for the proxy 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_PROXY_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED`
+ environment variable.
+
+http.proxySSLCAInfo::
+ Pathname to the file containing the certificate bundle that should be used to
+ verify the proxy with when using an HTTPS proxy. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_PROXY_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
+
+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.version::
+ Use the specified HTTP protocol version when communicating with a server.
+ If you want to force the default. The available and default version depend
+ on libcurl. Currently the possible values of
+ this option are:
+
+ - HTTP/2
+ - HTTP/1.1
+
+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. Currently the possible values of
+ this option are:
+
+ - sslv2
+ - sslv3
+ - tlsv1
+ - tlsv1.0
+ - tlsv1.1
+ - tlsv1.2

+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

+
+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.
++
+Note that raising this limit is only effective for disabling chunked
+transfer encoding and therefore should be used only where the remote
+server or a proxy only supports HTTP/1.0 or is noncompliant with the
+HTTP standard. Raising this is not, in general, an effective solution
+for most push problems, but can increase memory consumption
+significantly since the entire buffer is allocated even for small
+pushes.
+
+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.

+
+pack.compression::
+ An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects
+ in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no

++
+Note that changing the compression level will not automatically recompress

+
+pack.allowPackReuse::
+ When true, and when reachability bitmaps are enabled,

+ true.
+
+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

+
+pack.useSparse::
+ When true, git will default to using the '--sparse' option in
+ 'git pack-objects' when the '--revs' option is present. This
+ algorithm only walks trees that appear in paths that introduce new
+ objects. This can have significant performance benefits when
+ computing a pack to send a small change. However, it is possible

+ commits contain certain types of direct renames. Default is
+ `true`.
+
+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. Defaults to true.

+push.default::
+ Defines the action `git push` should take if no refspec is
+ given (whether from the command-line, config, or elsewhere).
+ Different values are well-suited for
+ specific workflows; for instance, in a purely central workflow
+ (i.e. the fetch source is equal to the push destination),
+ `upstream` is probably what you want. Possible values are:
++
+--
+
+* `nothing` - do not push anything (error out) unless a refspec is
+ given. This is primarily meant for people who want to
+ avoid mistakes by always being explicit.
+
+* `current` - push the current branch to update a branch with the same
+ name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central
+ workflows.
+
+* `upstream` - push the current branch back to the branch whose
+ changes are usually integrated into the current branch (which is
+ called `@{upstream}`). This mode only makes sense if you are
+ pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from
+ (i.e. central workflow).
+
+* `tracking` - This is a deprecated synonym for `upstream`.
+
+* `simple` - in centralized workflow, work like `upstream` with an
+ added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch's name is
+ different from the local one.
++
+When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally
+pull from, work as `current`. This is the safest option and is suited
+for beginners.
++
+This mode has become the default in Git 2.0.
+
+* `matching` - push all branches having the same name on both ends.
+ This makes the repository you are pushing to remember the set of
+ branches that will be pushed out (e.g. if you always push 'maint'
+ and 'master' there and no other branches, the repository you push
+ to will have these two branches, and your local 'maint' and
+ 'master' will be pushed there).
++
+To use this mode effectively, you have to make sure _all_ the
+branches you would push out are ready to be pushed out before
+running 'git push', as the whole point of this mode is to allow you
+to push all of the branches in one go. If you usually finish work
+on only one branch and push out the result, while other branches are
+unfinished, this mode is not for you. Also this mode is not
+suitable for pushing into a shared central repository, as other
+people may add new branches there, or update the tip of existing
+branches outside your control.
++
+This used to be the default, but not since Git 2.0 (`simple` is the
+new default).
+
+--
+
+push.followTags::
+ If set to true enable `--follow-tags` option by default. You
+ may override this configuration at time of push by specifying
+ `--no-follow-tags`.
+
+push.gpgSign::
+ May be set to a boolean value, or the string 'if-asked'. A true
+ value causes all pushes to be GPG signed, as if `--signed` is
+ passed to linkgit:git-push[1]. The string 'if-asked' causes
+ pushes to be signed if the server supports it, as if
+ `--signed=if-asked` is passed to 'git push'. A false value may
+ override a value from a lower-priority config file. An explicit
+ command-line flag always overrides this config option.
+
+push.pushOption::
+ When no `--push-option=<option>` argument is given from the
+ command line, `git push` behaves as if each <value> of
+ this variable is given as `--push-option=<value>`.
++
+This is a multi-valued variable, and an empty value can be used in a
+higher priority configuration file (e.g. `.git/config` in a
+repository) to clear the values inherited from a lower priority
+configuration files (e.g. `$HOME/.gitconfig`).
++
+----
+
+Example:
+
+/etc/gitconfig
+ push.pushoption = a
+ push.pushoption = b
+
+~/.gitconfig
+ push.pushoption = c
+
+repo/.git/config
+ push.pushoption =
+ push.pushoption = b
+
+This will result in only b (a and c are cleared).
+
+----
+
+push.recurseSubmodules::
+ Make sure all submodule commits used by the revisions to be pushed
+ are available on a remote-tracking branch. If the value is 'check'
+ then Git will verify that all submodule commits that changed in the
+ revisions to be pushed are available on at least one remote of the
+ submodule. If any commits are missing, the push will be aborted and
+ exit with non-zero status. If the value is 'on-demand' then all
+ submodules that changed in the revisions to be pushed will be
+ pushed. If on-demand was not able to push all necessary revisions
+ it will also be aborted and exit with non-zero status. If the value
+ is 'no' then default behavior of ignoring submodules when pushing
+ is retained. You may override this configuration at time of push by
+ specifying '--recurse-submodules=check|on-demand|no'.
+ If not set, 'no' is used by default, unless 'submodule.recurse' is
+ set (in which case a 'true' value means 'on-demand').
+
+push.useForceIfIncludes::
+ If set to "true", it is equivalent to specifying
+ `--force-if-includes` as an option to linkgit:git-push[1]
+ in the command line. Adding `--no-force-if-includes` at the
+ time of push overrides this configuration setting.

+
+receive.certNonceSlop::

+ repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
+ found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
+ hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
+ side to include). This may allow writing checks in
+ `pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of
+ checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
+ that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
+ decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
+ can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
+
+receive.fsckObjects::
+ If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
+ objects. See `transfer.fsckObjects` for what's checked.
+ Defaults to false. If not set, the value of
+ `transfer.fsckObjects` is used instead.
+
+receive.fsck.<msg-id>::
+ Acts like `fsck.<msg-id>`, but is used by

+
+receive.fsck.skipList::
+ Acts like `fsck.skipList`, but is used by
+ linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
+ linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.skipList` documentation for
+ details.
+
+receive.keepAlive::
+ After receiving the pack from the client, `receive-pack` may
+ produce no output (if `--quiet` was specified) while processing
+ the pack, causing some networks to drop the TCP connection.
+ With this option set, if `receive-pack` does not transmit
+ any data in this phase for `receive.keepAlive` seconds, it will
+ send a short keepalive packet. The default is 5 seconds; set
+ to 0 to disable keepalives entirely.
+
+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.maxInputSize::
+ If the size of the incoming pack stream is larger than this
+ limit, then git-receive-pack will error out, instead of
+ accepting the pack file. If not set or set to 0, then the size
+ is unlimited.
+
+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".
++
+Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
+tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is
+intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
+accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
+that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
+developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
++
+By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
+the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
+hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5].
+
+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.hideRefs::
+ This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies
+ only to `receive-pack` (and so affects pushes, but not fetches).
+ An attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by `git push` is
+ rejected.
+
+receive.procReceiveRefs::
+ This is a multi-valued variable that defines reference prefixes
+ to match the commands in `receive-pack`. Commands matching the
+ prefixes will be executed by an external hook "proc-receive",
+ instead of the internal `execute_commands` function. If this
+ variable is not defined, the "proc-receive" hook will never be
+ used, and all commands will be executed by the internal
+ `execute_commands` function.
++
+For example, if this variable is set to "refs/for", pushing to reference
+such as "refs/for/master" will not create or update a reference named
+"refs/for/master", but may create or update a pull request directly by
+running the hook "proc-receive".
++
+Optional modifiers can be provided in the beginning of the value to filter
+commands for specific actions: create (a), modify (m), delete (d).
+A `!` can be included in the modifiers to negate the reference prefix entry.
+E.g.:
++
+ git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs ad:refs/heads
+ git config --system --add receive.procReceiveRefs !:refs/heads
+
+receive.updateServerInfo::
+ If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
+ after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
+
+receive.shallowUpdate::
+ If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs
+ require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected.

+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 cannot 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::

+ 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

+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.
+
+uploadpackfilter.allow::
+ Provides a default value for unspecified object filters (see: the
+ below configuration variable).
+ Defaults to `true`.
+
+uploadpackfilter.<filter>.allow::
+ Explicitly allow or ban the object filter corresponding to
+ `<filter>`, where `<filter>` may be one of: `blob:none`,
+ `blob:limit`, `tree`, `sparse:oid`, or `combine`. If using
+ combined filters, both `combine` and all of the nested filter
+ kinds must be allowed. Defaults to `uploadpackfilter.allow`.
+
+uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth::
+ Only allow `--filter=tree:<n>` when `<n>` is no more than the value of
+ `uploadpackfilter.tree.maxDepth`. If set, this also implies
+ `uploadpackfilter.tree.allow=true`, unless this configuration
+ variable had already been set. Has no effect if unset.
+
+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.
