+CONFIGURATION FILE
+------------------
+
+The Git configuration file contains a number of variables that affect
+the Git commands' behavior. The files `.git/config` and optionally
+`config.worktree` (see the "CONFIGURATION FILE" section of
+linkgit:git-worktree[1]) in each repository are used to store the
+configuration for that repository, and `$HOME/.gitconfig` is used to
+store a per-user configuration as fallback values for the `.git/config`
+file. The file `/etc/gitconfig` can be used to store a system-wide
+default configuration.
+
+The configuration variables are used by both the Git plumbing
+and the porcelain commands. The variables are divided into sections, wherein
+the fully qualified variable name of the variable itself is the last
+dot-separated segment and the section name is everything before the last
+dot. The variable names are case-insensitive, allow only alphanumeric
+characters and `-`, and must start with an alphabetic character. Some
+variables may appear multiple times; we say then that the variable is
+multivalued.
+
+Syntax
+~~~~~~
+
+The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; whitespaces are mostly
+ignored. The '#' and ';' characters begin comments to the end of line,
+blank lines are ignored.
+
+The file consists of sections and variables. A section begins with
+the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next
+section begins. Section names are case-insensitive. Only alphanumeric
+characters, `-` and `.` are allowed in section names. Each variable
+must belong to some section, which means that there must be a section
+header before the first setting of a variable.
+
+Sections can be further divided into subsections. To begin a subsection
+put its name in double quotes, separated by space from the section name,
+in the section header, like in the example below:
+
+--------
+ [section "subsection"]
+
+--------
+
+Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
+newline and the null byte. Doublequote `"` and backslash can be included
+by escaping them as `\"` and `\\`, respectively. Backslashes preceding
+other characters are dropped when reading; for example, `\t` is read as
+`t` and `\0` is read as `0`. Section headers cannot span multiple lines.
+Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given subsection. You
+can have `[section]` if you have `[section "subsection"]`, but you don't
+need to.
+
+There is also a deprecated `[section.subsection]` syntax. With this
+syntax, the subsection name is converted to lower-case and is also
+compared case sensitively. These subsection names follow the same
+restrictions as section names.
+
+All the other lines (and the remainder of the line after the section
+header) are recognized as setting variables, in the form
+'name = value' (or just 'name', which is a short-hand to say that
+the variable is the boolean "true").
+The variable names are case-insensitive, allow only alphanumeric characters
+and `-`, and must start with an alphabetic character.
+
+A line that defines a value can be continued to the next line by
+ending it with a `\`; the backslash and the end-of-line are
+stripped. Leading whitespaces after 'name =', the remainder of the
+line after the first comment character '#' or ';', and trailing
+whitespaces of the line are discarded unless they are enclosed in
+double quotes. Internal whitespaces within the value are retained
+verbatim.
+
+Inside double quotes, double quote `"` and backslash `\` characters
+must be escaped: use `\"` for `"` and `\\` for `\`.
+
+The following escape sequences (beside `\"` and `\\`) are recognized:
+`\n` for newline character (NL), `\t` for horizontal tabulation (HT, TAB)
+and `\b` for backspace (BS). Other char escape sequences (including octal
+escape sequences) are invalid.
+
+
+Includes
+~~~~~~~~
+
+The `include` and `includeIf` sections allow you to include config
+directives from another source. These sections behave identically to
+each other with the exception that `includeIf` sections may be ignored
+if their condition does not evaluate to true; see "Conditional includes"
+below.
+
+You can include a config file from another by setting the special
+`include.path` (or `includeIf.*.path`) variable to the name of the file
+to be included. The variable takes a pathname as its value, and is
+subject to tilde expansion. These variables can be given multiple times.
+
+The contents of the included file are inserted immediately, as if they
+had been found at the location of the include directive. If the value of the
+variable is a relative path, the path is considered to
+be relative to the configuration file in which the include directive
+was found. See below for examples.
+
+Conditional includes
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can conditionally include a config file from another by setting an
+`includeIf.<condition>.path` variable to the name of the file to be
+included.
+
+The condition starts with a keyword followed by a colon and some data
+whose format and meaning depends on the keyword. Supported keywords
+are:
+
+`gitdir`::
+
+ The data that follows the keyword `gitdir:` is used as a glob
+ pattern. If the location of the .git directory matches the
+ pattern, the include condition is met.
++
+The .git location may be auto-discovered, or come from `$GIT_DIR`
+environment variable. If the repository is auto-discovered via a .git
+file (e.g. from submodules, or a linked worktree), the .git location
+would be the final location where the .git directory is, not where the
+.git file is.
++
+The pattern can contain standard globbing wildcards and two additional
+ones, `**/` and `/**`, that can match multiple path components. Please
+refer to linkgit:gitignore[5] for details. For convenience:
+
+ * If the pattern starts with `~/`, `~` will be substituted with the
+ content of the environment variable `HOME`.
+
+ * If the pattern starts with `./`, it is replaced with the directory
+ containing the current config file.
+
+ * If the pattern does not start with either `~/`, `./` or `/`, `**/`
+ will be automatically prepended. For example, the pattern `foo/bar`
+ becomes `**/foo/bar` and would match `/any/path/to/foo/bar`.
+
+ * If the pattern ends with `/`, `**` will be automatically added. For
+ example, the pattern `foo/` becomes `foo/**`. In other words, it
+ matches "foo" and everything inside, recursively.
+
+`gitdir/i`::
+ This is the same as `gitdir` except that matching is done
+ case-insensitively (e.g. on case-insensitive file systems)
+
+`onbranch`::
+ The data that follows the keyword `onbranch:` is taken to be a
+ pattern with standard globbing wildcards and two additional
+ ones, `**/` and `/**`, that can match multiple path components.
+ If we are in a worktree where the name of the branch that is
+ currently checked out matches the pattern, the include condition
+ is met.
++
+If the pattern ends with `/`, `**` will be automatically added. For
+example, the pattern `foo/` becomes `foo/**`. In other words, it matches
+all branches that begin with `foo/`. This is useful if your branches are
+organized hierarchically and you would like to apply a configuration to
+all the branches in that hierarchy.
+
+`hasconfig:remote.*.url:`::
+ The data that follows this keyword is taken to
+ be a pattern with standard globbing wildcards and two
+ additional ones, `**/` and `/**`, that can match multiple
+ components. The first time this keyword is seen, the rest of
+ the config files will be scanned for remote URLs (without
+ applying any values). If there exists at least one remote URL
+ that matches this pattern, the include condition is met.
++
+Files included by this option (directly or indirectly) are not allowed
+to contain remote URLs.
++
+Note that unlike other includeIf conditions, resolving this condition
+relies on information that is not yet known at the point of reading the
+condition. A typical use case is this option being present as a
+system-level or global-level config, and the remote URL being in a
+local-level config; hence the need to scan ahead when resolving this
+condition. In order to avoid the chicken-and-egg problem in which
+potentially-included files can affect whether such files are potentially
+included, Git breaks the cycle by prohibiting these files from affecting
+the resolution of these conditions (thus, prohibiting them from
+declaring remote URLs).
++
+As for the naming of this keyword, it is for forwards compatibility with
+a naming scheme that supports more variable-based include conditions,
+but currently Git only supports the exact keyword described above.
+
+A few more notes on matching via `gitdir` and `gitdir/i`:
+
+ * Symlinks in `$GIT_DIR` are not resolved before matching.
+
+ * Both the symlink & realpath versions of paths will be matched
+ outside of `$GIT_DIR`. E.g. if ~/git is a symlink to
+ /mnt/storage/git, both `gitdir:~/git` and `gitdir:/mnt/storage/git`
+ will match.
++
+This was not the case in the initial release of this feature in
+v2.13.0, which only matched the realpath version. Configuration that
+wants to be compatible with the initial release of this feature needs
+to either specify only the realpath version, or both versions.
+
+ * Note that "../" is not special and will match literally, which is
+ unlikely what you want.

+----
+
+Values
+~~~~~~
+
+Values of many variables are treated as a simple string, but there
+are variables that take values of specific types and there are rules
+as to how to spell them.
+
+boolean::
+
+ When a variable is said to take a boolean value, many
+ synonyms are accepted for 'true' and 'false'; these are all
+ case-insensitive.
+
+ true;; Boolean true literals are `yes`, `on`, `true`,
+ and `1`. Also, a variable defined without `= <value>`
+ is taken as true.
+
+ false;; Boolean false literals are `no`, `off`, `false`,
+ `0` and the empty string.
++
+When converting a value to its canonical form using the `--type=bool` type
+specifier, 'git config' will ensure that the output is "true" or
+"false" (spelled in lowercase).
+
+integer::
+ The value for many variables that specify various sizes can
+ be suffixed with `k`, `M`,... to mean "scale the number by
+ 1024", "by 1024x1024", etc.
+
+color::
+ The value for a variable that takes a color is a list of
+ colors (at most two, one for foreground and one for background)
+ and attributes (as many as you want), separated by spaces.
++
+The basic colors accepted are `normal`, `black`, `red`, `green`,
+`yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `white` and `default`. The first
+color given is the foreground; the second is the background. All the
+basic colors except `normal` and `default` have a bright variant that can
+be specified by prefixing the color with `bright`, like `brightred`.
++
+The color `normal` makes no change to the color. It is the same as an
+empty string, but can be used as the foreground color when specifying a
+background color alone (for example, "normal red").
++
+The color `default` explicitly resets the color to the terminal default,
+for example to specify a cleared background. Although it varies between
+terminals, this is usually not the same as setting to "white black".
++
+Colors may also be given as numbers between 0 and 255; these use ANSI
+256-color mode (but note that not all terminals may support this). If
+your terminal supports it, you may also specify 24-bit RGB values as
+hex, like `#ff0ab3`.
++
+The accepted attributes are `bold`, `dim`, `ul`, `blink`, `reverse`,
+`italic`, and `strike` (for crossed-out or "strikethrough" letters).
+The position of any attributes with respect to the colors
+(before, after, or in between), doesn't matter. Specific attributes may
+be turned off by prefixing them with `no` or `no-` (e.g., `noreverse`,
+`no-ul`, etc).
++
+The pseudo-attribute `reset` resets all colors and attributes before
+applying the specified coloring. For example, `reset green` will result
+in a green foreground and default background without any active
+attributes.
++
+An empty color string produces no color effect at all. This can be used
+to avoid coloring specific elements without disabling color entirely.
++
+For git's pre-defined color slots, the attributes are meant to be reset
+at the beginning of each item in the colored output. So setting
+`color.decorate.branch` to `black` will paint that branch name in a
+plain `black`, even if the previous thing on the same output line (e.g.
+opening parenthesis before the list of branch names in `log --decorate`
+output) is set to be painted with `bold` or some other attribute.
+However, custom log formats may do more complicated and layered
+coloring, and the negated forms may be useful there.
+
+pathname::
+ A variable that takes a pathname value can be given a
+ string that begins with "`~/`" or "`~user/`", and the usual
+ tilde expansion happens to such a string: `~/`
+ is expanded to the value of `$HOME`, and `~user/` to the
+ specified user's home directory.
++
+If a path starts with `%(prefix)/`, the remainder is interpreted as a
+path relative to Git's "runtime prefix", i.e. relative to the location
+where Git itself was installed. For example, `%(prefix)/bin/` refers to
+the directory in which the Git executable itself lives. If Git was
+compiled without runtime prefix support, the compiled-in prefix will be
+substituted instead. In the unlikely event that a literal path needs to
+be specified that should _not_ be expanded, it needs to be prefixed by
+`./`, like so: `./%(prefix)/bin`.
+
+
+Variables
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+Note that this list is non-comprehensive and not necessarily complete.
+For command-specific variables, you will find a more detailed description
+in the appropriate manual page.
+
+Other git-related tools may and do use their own variables. When
+inventing new variables for use in your own tool, make sure their
+names do not conflict with those that are used by Git itself and
+other popular tools, and describe them in your documentation.

+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 are 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.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

+ When `remote`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of

+ 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).
+

++
+Note: Parallel checkout usually delivers better performance for repositories

+ When running parallel checkout with a small number of files, the cost
+ of subprocess spawning and inter-process communication might outweigh
+ the parallelization gains. This setting allows you to define the minimum

+
+color.pager::
+ A boolean to specify whether `auto` color modes should colorize

+
+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

+
+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),

+ `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 to true, enable the built-in file system monitor
+ daemon for this working directory (linkgit:git-fsmonitor{litdd}daemon[1]).
++
+Like hook-based file system monitors, the built-in file system monitor
+can speed up Git commands that need to refresh the Git index
+(e.g. `git status`) in a working directory with many files. The
+built-in monitor eliminates the need to install and maintain an
+external third-party tool.
++
+The built-in file system monitor is currently available only on a
+limited set of supported platforms. Currently, this includes Windows
+and MacOS.
++
+ Otherwise, this variable contains the pathname of the "fsmonitor"
+ hook command.
++
+This hook command is used to identify all files that may have changed
+since the requested date/time. This information is used to speed up
+git by avoiding unnecessary scanning of files that have not changed.
++
+See the "fsmonitor-watchman" section of linkgit:githooks[5].
++
+Note that if you concurrently use multiple versions of Git, such
+as one version on the command line and another version in an IDE
+tool, that the definition of `core.fsmonitor` was extended to
+allow boolean values in addition to hook pathnames. Git versions
+2.35.1 and prior will not understand the boolean values and will
+consider the "true" or "false" values as hook pathnames to be
+invoked. Git versions 2.26 thru 2.35.1 default to hook protocol
+V2 and will fall back to no fsmonitor (full scan). Git versions
+prior to 2.26 default to hook protocol V1 and will silently
+assume there were no changes to report (no scan), so status
+commands may report incomplete results. For this reason, it is
+best to upgrade all of your Git versions before using the built-in
+file system monitor.
+
+core.fsmonitorHookVersion::
+ Sets the protocol version to be used when invoking the
+ "fsmonitor" hook.
++
+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::
+ The size of files considered "big", which as discussed below
+ changes the behavior of numerous git commands, as well as how
+ such files are stored within the repository. The default is
+ 512 MiB. Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
+ supported.
++
+Files above the configured limit will be:
++
+* Stored deflated in packfiles, without attempting delta compression.
++
+The default limit is primarily set with this use-case in mind. With it,
+most projects will have their source code and other text files delta
+compressed, but not larger binary media files.
++
+Storing large files without delta compression avoids excessive memory
+usage, at the slight expense of increased disk usage.
++
+* Will be treated as if they were labeled "binary" (see
+ linkgit:gitattributes[5]). e.g. linkgit:git-log[1] and
+ linkgit:git-diff[1] will not compute diffs for files above this limit.
++
+* Will generally be streamed when written, which avoids excessive
+memory usage, at the cost of some fixed overhead. Commands that make
+use of this include linkgit:git-archive[1],
+linkgit:git-fast-import[1], linkgit:git-index-pack[1],
+linkgit:git-unpack-objects[1] and linkgit:git-fsck[1].
+
+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.fsync::
+ A comma-separated list of components of the repository that
+ should be hardened via the core.fsyncMethod when created or
+ modified. You can disable hardening of any component by
+ prefixing it with a '-'. Items that are not hardened may be
+ lost in the event of an unclean system shutdown. Unless you
+ have special requirements, it is recommended that you leave
+ this option empty or pick one of `committed`, `added`,
+ or `all`.
++
+When this configuration is encountered, the set of components starts with
+the platform default value, disabled components are removed, and additional
+components are added. `none` resets the state so that the platform default
+is ignored.
++
+The empty string resets the fsync configuration to the platform
+default. The default on most platforms is equivalent to
+`core.fsync=committed,-loose-object`, which has good performance,
+but risks losing recent work in the event of an unclean system shutdown.
++
+* `none` clears the set of fsynced components.
+* `loose-object` hardens objects added to the repo in loose-object form.
+* `pack` hardens objects added to the repo in packfile form.
+* `pack-metadata` hardens packfile bitmaps and indexes.
+* `commit-graph` hardens the commit-graph file.
+* `index` hardens the index when it is modified.
+* `objects` is an aggregate option that is equivalent to
+ `loose-object,pack`.
+* `reference` hardens references modified in the repo.
+* `derived-metadata` is an aggregate option that is equivalent to
+ `pack-metadata,commit-graph`.
+* `committed` is an aggregate option that is currently equivalent to
+ `objects`. This mode sacrifices some performance to ensure that work
+ that is committed to the repository with `git commit` or similar commands
+ is hardened.
+* `added` is an aggregate option that is currently equivalent to
+ `committed,index`. This mode sacrifices additional performance to
+ ensure that the results of commands like `git add` and similar operations
+ are hardened.
+* `all` is an aggregate option that syncs all individual components above.
+
+core.fsyncMethod::
+ A value indicating the strategy Git will use to harden repository data
+ using fsync and related primitives.
++
+* `fsync` uses the fsync() system call or platform equivalents.
+* `writeout-only` issues pagecache writeback requests, but depending on the
+ filesystem and storage hardware, data added to the repository may not be
+ durable in the event of a system crash. This is the default mode on macOS.
+* `batch` enables a mode that uses writeout-only flushes to stage multiple
+ updates in the disk writeback cache and then does a single full fsync of
+ a dummy file to trigger the disk cache flush at the end of the operation.
++
+Currently `batch` mode only applies to loose-object files. Other repository
+data is made durable as if `fsync` was specified. This mode is expected to
+be as safe as `fsync` on macOS for repos stored on HFS+ or APFS filesystems
+and on Windows for repos stored on NTFS or ReFS filesystems.
+
+core.fsyncObjectFiles::
+ This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
+ This setting is deprecated. Use core.fsync instead.
++
+This setting affects data added to the Git repository in loose-object
+form. When set to true, Git will issue an fsync or similar system call
+to flush caches so that loose-objects remain consistent in the face
+of a unclean system shutdown.
+
+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, this
+ mode provides significant performance advantages. The "non-cone
+ mode" can be requested to allow specifying more flexible
+ patterns by setting this variable to 'false'. 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.
+ If set to "no", no abbreviation is made and the object names
+ are shown in their full length.
+ The minimum length is 4.
+
+core.maxTreeDepth::
+ The maximum depth Git is willing to recurse while traversing a
+ tree (e.g., "a/b/cde/f" has a depth of 4). This is a fail-safe
+ to allow Git to abort cleanly, and should not generally need to
+ be adjusted. The default is 4096.

+ 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.statNameWidth::
+ Limit the width of the filename part in --stat output. If set, applies
+ to all commands generating --stat output except format-patch.
+
+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.
+ By default this is set to untracked so that any untracked
+ submodules are ignored.
+
+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 in the exhaustive portion of
+ copy/rename detection; equivalent to the 'git diff' option
+ `-l`. If not set, the default value is currently 1000. 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::
+ The custom diff driver command. See linkgit:gitattributes[5]
+ for details.
+
+diff.<driver>.xfuncname::
+ The regular expression that the diff driver should use to
+ recognize the hunk header. A built-in pattern may also be used.
+ See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+diff.<driver>.binary::
+ Set this option to true to make the diff driver treat files as
+ binary. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+diff.<driver>.textconv::
+ The command that the diff driver should call to generate the
+ text-converted version of a file. The result of the
+ conversion is used to generate a human-readable diff. See
+ linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+diff.<driver>.wordRegex::
+ The regular expression that the diff driver should use to
+ split words in a line. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
+ details.
+

+ This option can be set either to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.

+ 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 the
+ OUTPUT section in linkgit:git-fetch[1] for details.
+
+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 "consecutive" to use an algorithm that walks
+ over consecutive commits checking each one. 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. Set to "default" to override settings made
+ previously and use the default behaviour. The default is normally
+ "consecutive", but if `feature.experimental` is true, then the
+ default is "skipping". Unknown values will cause 'git fetch' to
+ error out.
++
+See also the `--negotiate-only` and `--negotiation-tip` options to
+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.
+
+fetch.bundleURI::
+ This value stores a URI for downloading Git object data from a bundle
+ URI before performing an incremental fetch from the origin Git server.
+ This is similar to how the `--bundle-uri` option behaves in
+ linkgit:git-clone[1]. `git clone --bundle-uri` will set the
+ `fetch.bundleURI` value if the supplied bundle URI contains a bundle
+ list that is organized for incremental fetches.
++
+If you modify this value and your repository has a `fetch.bundleCreationToken`
+value, then remove that `fetch.bundleCreationToken` value before fetching from
+the new bundle URI.
+
+fetch.bundleCreationToken::
+ When using `fetch.bundleURI` to fetch incrementally from a bundle
+ list that uses the "creationToken" heuristic, this config value
+ stores the maximum `creationToken` value of the downloaded bundles.
+ This value is used to prevent downloading bundles in the future
+ if the advertised `creationToken` is not strictly larger than this
+ value.
++
+The creation token values are chosen by the provider serving the specific
+bundle URI. If you modify the URI at `fetch.bundleURI`, then be sure to
+remove the value for the `fetch.bundleCreationToken` value before fetching.

+ Default is false.
+
+format.outputDirectory::
+ Set a custom directory to store the resulting files instead of the

+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.fsck.*`. 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 must be 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.
++
+See the `Fsck Messages` section of linkgit:git-fsck[1] for supported
+values of `<msg-id>`.
+
+
+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 are 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 must be set to the same values.
++
+Older versions of Git (before 2.20) documented that the object names
+list should be sorted. This was never a requirement; the object names
+could appear in any order, but when reading the list we tracked whether
+the list was sorted for the purposes of an internal binary search
+implementation, which could save itself some work with an already sorted
+list. Unless you had a humongous list there was no reason to go out of
+your way to pre-sort the list. After Git version 2.20 a hash implementation
+is used instead, so there's now no reason to pre-sort the list.

+gc.aggressiveDepth::
+ The depth parameter used in the delta compression
+ algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults

+ `--aggressive` isn't in use.
++
+See the documentation for the `--depth` option in
+linkgit:git-repack[1] for more details.
+
+gc.aggressiveWindow::
+ The window size parameter used in the delta compression
+ algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
+ to 250, which is a much more aggressive window size than
+ the default `--window` of 10.
++
+See the documentation for the `--window` option in
+linkgit:git-repack[1] for more details.
+
+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 also 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 the background
+ if the system supports it. Default is true.
+
+gc.bigPackThreshold::
+ If non-zero, all non-cruft packs larger than this limit are kept
+ when `git gc` is run. This is very similar to
+ `--keep-largest-pack` except that all non-cruft 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.cruftPacks::
+ Store unreachable objects in a cruft pack (see
+ linkgit:git-repack[1]) instead of as loose objects. The default
+ is `true`.
+
+gc.maxCruftSize::
+ Limit the size of new cruft packs when repacking. When
+ specified in addition to `--max-cruft-size`, the command line
+ option takes priority. See the `--max-cruft-size` option of
+ linkgit:git-repack[1].
+
+gc.pruneExpire::
+ When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'
+ (and 'repack --cruft --cruft-expiration 2.weeks.ago' if using
+ cruft packs via `gc.cruftPacks` or `--cruft`). 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.recentObjectsHook::
+ When considering whether or not to remove an object (either when
+ generating a cruft pack or storing unreachable objects as
+ loose), use the shell to execute the specified command(s).
+ Interpret their output as object IDs which Git will consider as
+ "recent", regardless of their age. By treating their mtimes as
+ "now", any objects (and their descendants) mentioned in the
+ output will be kept regardless of their true age.
++
+Output must contain exactly one hex object ID per line, and nothing
+else. Objects which cannot be found in the repository are ignored.
+Multiple hooks are supported, but all must exit successfully, else the
+operation (either generating a cruft pack or unpacking unreachable
+objects) will be halted.
+
+gc.repackFilter::
+ When repacking, use the specified filter to move certain
+ objects into a separate packfile. See the
+ `--filter=<filter-spec>` option of linkgit:git-repack[1].
+
+gc.repackFilterTo::
+ When repacking and using a filter, see `gc.repackFilter`, the
+ specified location will be used to create the packfile
+ containing the filtered out objects. **WARNING:** The
+ specified location should be accessible, using for example the
+ Git alternates mechanism, otherwise the repo could be
+ considered corrupt by Git as it migh not be able to access the
+ objects in that packfile. See the `--filter-to=<dir>` option
+ of linkgit:git-repack[1] and the `objects/info/alternates`
+ section of linkgit:gitrepository-layout[5].
+
+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].

+
+gitcvs.allBinary::
+ This is used if `gitcvs.usecrlfattr` does not resolve

+gpg.program::
+ Use this custom program instead of "`gpg`" found on `$PATH` when
+ making or verifying a PGP signature. The program must support the
+ same command-line interface as GPG, namely, to verify a detached
+ signature, "`gpg --verify $signature - <$file`" is run, and the
+ program is expected to signal a good signature by exiting with
+ code 0. To generate an ASCII-armored detached signature, the
+ standard input of "`gpg -bsau $key`" is fed with the contents to be
+ signed, and the program is expected to send the result to its
+ standard output.
+
+gpg.format::
+ Specifies which key format to use when signing with `--gpg-sign`.
+ Default is "openpgp". Other possible values are "x509", "ssh".
++
+See linkgit:gitformat-signature[5] for the signature format, which differs
+based on the selected `gpg.format`.
+
+gpg.<format>.program::
+ Use this to customize the program used for the signing format you
+ chose. (see `gpg.program` and `gpg.format`) `gpg.program` can still
+ be used as a legacy synonym for `gpg.openpgp.program`. The default
+ value for `gpg.x509.program` is "gpgsm" and `gpg.ssh.program` is "ssh-keygen".
+
+gpg.minTrustLevel::
+ Specifies a minimum trust level for signature verification. If
+ this option is unset, then signature verification for merge
+ operations requires a key with at least `marginal` trust. Other
+ operations that perform signature verification require a key
+ with at least `undefined` trust. Setting this option overrides
+ the required trust-level for all operations. Supported values,
+ in increasing order of significance:
++
+* `undefined`
+* `never`
+* `marginal`
+* `fully`
+* `ultimate`
+
+gpg.ssh.defaultKeyCommand::
+ This command will be run when user.signingkey is not set and a ssh
+ signature is requested. On successful exit a valid ssh public key
+ prefixed with `key::` is expected in the first line of its output.
+ This allows for a script doing a dynamic lookup of the correct public
+ key when it is impractical to statically configure `user.signingKey`.
+ For example when keys or SSH Certificates are rotated frequently or
+ selection of the right key depends on external factors unknown to git.
+
+gpg.ssh.allowedSignersFile::
+ A file containing ssh public keys which you are willing to trust.
+ The file consists of one or more lines of principals followed by an ssh
+ public key.
+ e.g.: `user1@example.com,user2@example.com ssh-rsa AAAAX1...`
+ See ssh-keygen(1) "ALLOWED SIGNERS" for details.
+ The principal is only used to identify the key and is available when
+ verifying a signature.
++
+SSH has no concept of trust levels like gpg does. To be able to differentiate
+between valid signatures and trusted signatures the trust level of a signature
+verification is set to `fully` when the public key is present in the allowedSignersFile.
+Otherwise the trust level is `undefined` and git verify-commit/tag will fail.
++
+This file can be set to a location outside of the repository and every developer
+maintains their own trust store. A central repository server could generate this
+file automatically from ssh keys with push access to verify the code against.
+In a corporate setting this file is probably generated at a global location
+from automation that already handles developer ssh keys.
++
+A repository that only allows signed commits can store the file
+in the repository itself using a path relative to the top-level of the working tree.
+This way only committers with an already valid key can add or change keys in the keyring.
++
+Since OpensSSH 8.8 this file allows specifying a key lifetime using valid-after &
+valid-before options. Git will mark signatures as valid if the signing key was
+valid at the time of the signature's creation. This allows users to change a
+signing key without invalidating all previously made signatures.
++
+Using a SSH CA key with the cert-authority option
+(see ssh-keygen(1) "CERTIFICATES") is also valid.
+
+gpg.ssh.revocationFile::
+ Either a SSH KRL or a list of revoked public keys (without the principal prefix).
+ See ssh-keygen(1) for details.
+ If a public key is found in this file then it will always be treated
+ as having trust level "never" and signatures will show as invalid.

+ 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.curloptResolve::
+ Hostname resolution information that will be used first by
+ libcurl when sending HTTP requests. This information should
+ be in one of the following formats:
+
+ - [+]HOST:PORT:ADDRESS[,ADDRESS]
+ - -HOST:PORT
+
++
+The first format redirects all requests to the given `HOST:PORT`
+to the provided `ADDRESS`(s). The second format clears all
+previous config values for that `HOST:PORT` combination. To
+allow easy overriding of all the settings inherited from the
+system config, an empty value will reset all resolution
+information to the empty list.
+
+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
+ - tlsv1.3
+
++
+Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_VERSION` environment variable.
+To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
+explicit http.sslversion option, set `GIT_SSL_VERSION` to the
+empty string.
+
+http.sslCipherList::
+ A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
+ The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
+ NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto
+ library in use. Internally this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST'
+ option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
+ of this list.
++
+Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` environment variable.
+To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
+explicit http.sslCipherList option, set `GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST` to the
+empty string.
+
+http.sslVerify::
+ Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
+ over HTTPS. Defaults to true. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY` environment variable.
+
+http.sslCert::
+ File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
+ over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_CERT` environment
+ variable.
+
+http.sslKey::
+ File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing
+ over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_KEY` environment
+ variable.
+
+http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
+ Enable Git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
+ OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
+ certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED` environment variable.
+
+http.sslCAInfo::
+ File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
+ fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
+ `GIT_SSL_CAINFO` environment variable.
+
+http.sslCAPath::
+ Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer
+ with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
+ by the `GIT_SSL_CAPATH` environment variable.
+
+http.sslBackend::
+ Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
+ This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
+ backend at runtime.
+
+http.schannelCheckRevoke::
+ Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
+ when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
+ unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
+ and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
+ certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
+ setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
+
+http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
+ As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
+ certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
+ override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
+ by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
+ when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
+ unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
+
+http.pinnedPubkey::
+ Public key of the https service. It may either be the filename of
+ a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with
+ 'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the
+ public key. See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'. git will
+ exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by
+ cURL.
+
+http.sslTry::
+ Attempt to use AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers
+ when connecting via regular FTP protocol. This might be needed
+ if the FTP server requires it for security reasons or you wish
+ to connect securely whenever remote FTP server supports it.
+ Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification
+ errors on misconfigured servers.
+
+http.maxRequests::
+ How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
+ by the `GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS` environment variable. Default is 5.
+
+http.minSessions::
+ The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
+ requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
+ http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
+ value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
+
+http.postBuffer::
+ Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
+ transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
+ For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and
+ Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a
+ massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is
+ sufficient for most requests.
++
+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, in bytes per second, 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 be 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 Git client 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.

+
+merge.defaultToUpstream::
+ If merge is called without any commit argument, merge the upstream

+
+merge.ff::
+ By default, Git does not create an extra merge commit when merging
+ a commit that is a descendant of the current commit. Instead, the
+ tip of the current branch is fast-forwarded. When set to `false`,
+ this variable tells Git to create an extra merge commit in such

+ Defaults to the value of diff.renames.
+
+merge.directoryRenames::
+ Whether Git detects directory renames, affecting what happens at
+ merge time to new files added to a directory on one side of
+ history when that directory was renamed on the other side of
+ history. If merge.directoryRenames is set to "false", directory
+ rename detection is disabled, meaning that such new files will be

+ rename detection is enabled, meaning that such new files will be
+ moved into the new directory. If set to "conflict", a conflict
+ will be reported for such paths. If merge.renames is false,

+ to "conflict".
+
+merge.renormalize::
+ Tell Git that canonical representation of files in the
+ repository has changed over time (e.g. earlier commits record

+
+merge.stat::
+ Whether to print the diffstat between ORIG_HEAD and the merge result
+ at the end of the merge. True by default.
+
+merge.autoStash::
+ When set to true, automatically create a temporary stash entry
+ before the operation begins, and apply it after the operation
+ ends. This means that you can run merge on a dirty worktree.
+ However, use with care: the final stash application after a

+
+mergetool.hideResolved::
+ During a merge, Git will automatically resolve as many conflicts as
+ possible and write the 'MERGED' file containing conflict markers around
+ any conflicts that it cannot resolve; 'LOCAL' and 'REMOTE' normally

+
+mergetool.keepBackup::
+ After performing a merge, the original file with conflict markers
+ can be saved as a file with a `.orig` extension. If this variable
+ is set to `false` then this file is not preserved. Defaults to

+ suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". When left unconfigured (or
+ set explicitly to 0), there will be no limit.
+
+pack.compression::
+ An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects
+ in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
+ compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
+ slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
+ not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default
+ compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
+ to level 6)."
++
+Note that changing the compression level will not automatically recompress
+all existing objects. You can force recompression by passing the -F option
+to linkgit:git-repack[1].
+
+pack.allowPackReuse::
+ When true, and when reachability bitmaps are enabled,
+ pack-objects will try to send parts of the bitmapped packfile
+ verbatim. This can reduce memory and CPU usage to serve fetches,
+ but might result in sending a slightly larger pack. Defaults to
+ 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 CPUs
+ 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 is ignored whenever the corresponding pack is
+ larger than 2 GB.
++
+If you have an old Git that does not understand the version 2 `*.idx` file,
+cloning or fetching over a non-native protocol (e.g. "http")
+that will copy both `*.pack` file and corresponding `*.idx` file from the
+other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
+older version of Git. If the `*.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
+you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
+the `*.idx` file.
+
+pack.packSizeLimit::
+ The maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects
+ packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol
+ is unaffected. It can be overridden by the `--max-pack-size`
+ option of linkgit:git-repack[1]. Reaching this limit results
+ in the creation of multiple packfiles.
++
+Note that this option is rarely useful, and may result in a larger total
+on-disk size (because Git will not store deltas between packs) and
+worse runtime performance (object lookup within multiple packs is
+slower than a single pack, and optimizations like reachability bitmaps
+cannot cope with multiple packs).
++
+If you need to actively run Git using smaller packfiles (e.g., because your
+filesystem does not support large files), this option may help. But if
+your goal is to transmit a packfile over a medium that supports limited
+sizes (e.g., removable media that cannot store the whole repository),
+you are likely better off creating a single large packfile and splitting
+it using a generic multi-volume archive tool (e.g., Unix `split`).
++
+The minimum size allowed is limited to 1 MiB. The default is unlimited.
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
+pack.useBitmaps::
+ When true, git will use pack bitmaps (if available) when packing
+ to stdout (e.g., during the server side of a fetch). Defaults to
+ true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
+ you are debugging pack bitmaps.
+
+pack.useBitmapBoundaryTraversal::
+ When true, Git will use an experimental algorithm for computing
+ reachability queries with bitmaps. Instead of building up
+ complete bitmaps for all of the negated tips and then OR-ing
+ them together, consider negated tips with existing bitmaps as
+ additive (i.e. OR-ing them into the result if they exist,
+ ignoring them otherwise), and build up a bitmap at the boundary
+ instead.
++
+When using this algorithm, Git may include too many objects as a result
+of not opening up trees belonging to certain UNINTERESTING commits. This
+inexactness matches the non-bitmap traversal algorithm.
++
+In many cases, this can provide a speed-up over the exact algorithm,
+particularly when there is poor bitmap coverage of the negated side of
+the query.
+
+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
+ that extra objects are added to the pack-file if the included
+ commits contain certain types of direct renames. Default is
+ `true`.
+
+pack.preferBitmapTips::
+ When selecting which commits will receive bitmaps, prefer a
+ commit at the tip of any reference that is a suffix of any value
+ of this configuration over any other commits in the "selection
+ window".
++
+Note that setting this configuration to `refs/foo` does not mean that
+the commits at the tips of `refs/foo/bar` and `refs/foo/baz` will
+necessarily be selected. This is because commits are selected for
+bitmaps from within a series of windows of variable length.
++
+If a commit at the tip of any reference which is a suffix of any value
+of this configuration is seen in a window, it is immediately given
+preference over any other commit in that window.
+
+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.
++
+When writing a multi-pack reachability bitmap, no new namehashes are
+computed; instead, any namehashes stored in an existing bitmap are
+permuted into their appropriate location when writing a new bitmap.
+
+pack.writeBitmapLookupTable::
+ When true, Git will include a "lookup table" section in the
+ bitmap index (if one is written). This table is used to defer
+ loading individual bitmaps as late as possible. This can be
+ beneficial in repositories that have relatively large bitmap
+ indexes. Defaults to false.
+
+pack.readReverseIndex::
+ When true, git will read any .rev file(s) that may be available
+ (see: linkgit:gitformat-pack[5]). When false, the reverse index
+ will be generated from scratch and stored in memory. Defaults to
+ true.
+
+pack.writeReverseIndex::
+ When true, git will write a corresponding .rev file (see:
+ linkgit:gitformat-pack[5])
+ for each new packfile that it writes in all places except for
+ linkgit:git-fast-import[1] and in the bulk checkin mechanism.
+ Defaults to true.

+ `ssh://`, etc).
+
+ - `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http".
+ Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want to configure
+ both, you must do so individually.
+
+ - any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use
+ `hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper)
+--
+
+protocol.version::
+ If set, clients will attempt to communicate with a server
+ using the specified protocol version. If the server does
+ not support it, communication falls back to version 0.
+ If unset, the default is `2`.
+ Supported versions:
++
+--
+
+* `0` - the original wire protocol.
+
+* `1` - the original wire protocol with the addition of a version string
+ in the initial response from the server.
+
+* `2` - Wire protocol version 2, see linkgit:gitprotocol-v2[5].

+push.autoSetupRemote::
+ If set to "true" assume `--set-upstream` on default push when no
+ upstream tracking exists for the current branch; this option
+ takes effect with push.default options 'simple', 'upstream',
+ and 'current'. It is useful if by default you want new branches
+ to be pushed to the default remote (like the behavior of
+ 'push.default=current') and you also want the upstream tracking
+ to be set. Workflows most likely to benefit from this option are
+ 'simple' central workflows where all branches are expected to
+ have the same name on the remote.
+
+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` - push the current branch with the same name on the remote.
++
+If you are working on a centralized workflow (pushing to the same repository you
+pull from, which is typically `origin`), then you need to configure an upstream
+branch with the same name.
++
+This mode is the default since Git 2.0, and is the safest option suited for
+beginners.
+
+* `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::
+ May be "check", "on-demand", "only", or "no", with the same behavior
+ as that of "push --recurse-submodules".
+ 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.
+
+push.negotiate::
+ If set to "true", attempt to reduce the size of the packfile
+ sent by rounds of negotiation in which the client and the
+ server attempt to find commits in common. If "false", Git will
+ rely solely on the server's ref advertisement to find commits
+ in common.
+
+push.useBitmaps::
+ If set to "false", disable use of bitmaps for "git push" even if
+ `pack.useBitmaps` is "true", without preventing other git operations
+ from using bitmaps. Default is true.

+ By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after

+ it by setting this variable to false.
+
+receive.certNonceSeed::
+ By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
+ will accept a `git push --signed` and verify it by using
+ a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
+ key.
+
+receive.certNonceSlop::
+ When a `git push --signed` sends a push certificate with a
+ "nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
+ 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
+ linkgit:git-receive-pack[1] instead of
+ linkgit:git-fsck[1]. See the `fsck.<msg-id>` documentation for
+ details.
+
+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.

+safe.bareRepository::
+ Specifies which bare repositories Git will work with. The currently
+ supported values are:
++
+* `all`: Git works with all bare repositories. This is the default.
+* `explicit`: Git only works with bare repositories specified via
+ the top-level `--git-dir` command-line option, or the `GIT_DIR`
+ environment variable (see linkgit:git[1]).
++
+If you do not use bare repositories in your workflow, then it may be
+beneficial to set `safe.bareRepository` to `explicit` in your global
+config. This will protect you from attacks that involve cloning a
+repository that contains a bare repository and running a Git command
+within that directory.
++
+This config setting is only respected in protected configuration (see
+<<SCOPES>>). This prevents untrusted repositories from tampering with
+this value.
+
+safe.directory::
+ These config entries specify Git-tracked directories that are
+ considered safe even if they are owned by someone other than the
+ current user. By default, Git will refuse to even parse a Git
+ config of a repository owned by someone else, let alone run its
+ hooks, and this config setting allows users to specify exceptions,
+ e.g. for intentionally shared repositories (see the `--shared`
+ option in linkgit:git-init[1]).
++
+This is a multi-valued setting, i.e. you can add more than one directory
+via `git config --add`. To reset the list of safe directories (e.g. to
+override any such directories specified in the system config), add a
+`safe.directory` entry with an empty value.
++
+This config setting is only respected in protected configuration (see
+<<SCOPES>>). This prevents untrusted repositories from tampering with this
+value.
++
+The value of this setting is interpolated, i.e. `~/<path>` expands to a
+path relative to the home directory and `%(prefix)/<path>` expands to a
+path relative to Git's (runtime) prefix.
++
+To completely opt-out of this security check, set `safe.directory` to the
+string `*`. This will allow all repositories to be treated as if their
+directory was listed in the `safe.directory` list. If `safe.directory=*`
+is set in system config and you want to re-enable this protection, then
+initialize your list with an empty value before listing the repositories
+that you deem safe.
++
+As explained, Git only allows you to access repositories owned by
+yourself, i.e. the user who is running Git, by default. When Git
+is running as 'root' in a non Windows platform that provides sudo,
+however, git checks the SUDO_UID environment variable that sudo creates
+and will allow access to the uid recorded as its value in addition to
+the id from 'root'.
+This is to make it easy to perform a common sequence during installation
+"make && sudo make install". A git process running under 'sudo' runs as
+'root' but the 'sudo' command exports the environment variable to record
+which id the original user has.
+If that is not what you would prefer and want git to only trust
+repositories that are owned by root instead, then you can remove
+the `SUDO_UID` variable from root's environment before invoking git.

+transfer.credentialsInUrl::
+ A configured URL can contain plaintext credentials in the form
+ `<protocol>://<user>:<password>@<domain>/<path>`. You may want
+ to warn or forbid the use of such configuration (in favor of
+ using linkgit:git-credential[1]). This will be used on
+ linkgit:git-clone[1], linkgit:git-fetch[1], linkgit:git-push[1],
+ and any other direct use of the configured URL.
++
+Note that this is currently limited to detecting credentials in
+`remote.<name>.url` configuration; it won't detect credentials in
+`remote.<name>.pushurl` configuration.
++
+You might want to enable this to prevent inadvertent credentials
+exposure, e.g. because:
++
+* The OS or system where you're running git may not provide a way or
+ otherwise allow you to configure the permissions of the
+ configuration file where the username and/or password are stored.
+* Even if it does, having such data stored "at rest" might expose you
+ in other ways, e.g. a backup process might copy the data to another
+ system.
+* The git programs will pass the full URL to one another as arguments
+ on the command-line, meaning the credentials will be exposed to other
+ unprivileged users on systems that allow them to see the full
+ process list of other users. On linux the "hidepid" setting
+ documented in procfs(5) allows for configuring this behavior.
++
+If such concerns don't apply to you then you probably don't need to be
+concerned about credentials exposure due to storing sensitive
+data in git's configuration files. If you do want to use this, set
+`transfer.credentialsInUrl` to one of these values:
++
+* `allow` (default): Git will proceed with its activity without warning.
+* `warn`: Git will write a warning message to `stderr` when parsing a URL
+ with a plaintext credential.
+* `die`: Git will write a failure message to `stderr` when parsing a URL
+ with a plaintext credential.
+
+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::
+ String(s) `receive-pack` and `upload-pack` use to decide which
+ refs to omit from their initial advertisements. Use more than
+ one definition to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that is
+ under the hierarchies listed in the value of this variable is
+ excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git push` or `git
+ fetch`. See `receive.hideRefs` and `uploadpack.hideRefs` for
+ program-specific versions of this config.
++
+You may also include a `!` in front of the ref name to negate the entry,
+explicitly exposing it, even if an earlier entry marked it as hidden.
+If you have multiple hideRefs values, later entries override earlier ones
+(and entries in more-specific config files override less-specific ones).
++
+If a namespace is in use, the namespace prefix is stripped from each
+reference before it is matched against `transfer.hiderefs` patterns. In
+order to match refs before stripping, add a `^` in front of the ref name. If
+you combine `!` and `^`, `!` must be specified first.
++
+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. If `uploadpack.allowRefInWant` is set,
+`upload-pack` will treat `want-ref refs/heads/master` in a protocol v2
+`fetch` command as if `refs/namespaces/foo/refs/heads/master` did not exist.
+`receive-pack`, on the other hand, will still advertise the object id the
+ref is pointing to without mentioning its name (a so-called ".have" line).
++
+Even if you hide refs, a client may still be able to steal the target
+objects via the techniques described in the "SECURITY" section of the
+linkgit:gitnamespaces[7] man page; it's best to keep private data in a
+separate repository.
+
+transfer.unpackLimit::
+ When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
+ not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
+ The default value is 100.
+
+transfer.advertiseSID::
+ Boolean. When true, client and server processes will advertise their
+ unique session IDs to their remote counterpart. Defaults to false.
+
+transfer.bundleURI::
+ When `true`, local `git clone` commands will request bundle
+ information from the remote server (if advertised) and download
+ bundles before continuing the clone through the Git protocol.
+ Defaults to `false`.

+uploadpack.hideRefs::
+ This variable is the same as `transfer.hideRefs`, but applies

+ An attempt to fetch a hidden ref by `git fetch` will fail. See
+ also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
+
+uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant::

+ 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 only respected when it is specified
+in protected configuration (see <<SCOPES>>). 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). If set to `true`, this will also
+ enable all filters which get added in the future.
+ 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`, `object:type`, `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
