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.

It will automatically be added if set to `true`. And + it will automatically be removed, if set to `false`.

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.

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.

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.
