+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; `inherit` -- if the starting point
+	has a tracking configuration, it is copied to the new
+	branch; `simple` -- automatic setup is done only when the starting point
+	is a remote-tracking branch and the new branch has the same name as the
+	remote 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 or 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 and there is more than
+	one remote defined in the repository, 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 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 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 to the format-patch cover letter or
+	request-pull summary.
