Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
your information is guessed from the system username and
domain name. Default: true.

core.fileMode::
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.bigFileThreshold::
+ Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
+ attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
+ delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
+ slight expense of increased disk usage.
++
+Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for most projects as source code and other text files can still
+be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
++
+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.

+Currently only linkgit:git-fast-import[1] honors this setting.

core.excludesfile::
In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
'.git/info/exclude', git looks into this file for patterns
core.notesRef::
When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
the given ref. This ref is expected to contain files named
- after the full SHA-1 of the commit they annotate.
+ after the full SHA-1 of the commit they annotate. The ref

If such a file exists in the given ref, the referenced blob is read, and

executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
not necessarily be the current directory.
+am.keepcr::
+ If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
+ with parameter '--keep-cr'. In this case git-mailsplit will
+ not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overrriden
+ by giving '--no-keep-cr' from the command line.
+ See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].

apply.ignorewhitespace::
When set to 'change', tells 'git apply' to ignore changes in
whitespace, in the same way as the '--ignore-space-change'
`never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only
when the output is written to the terminal. Defaults to `false`.
-color.grep.match::
- Use customized color for matches. The value of this variable
- may be specified as in color.branch.<slot>. It is passed using
- the environment variables 'GREP_COLOR' and 'GREP_COLORS' when
- calling an external 'grep'.

color.interactive::
When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
in linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
+init.templatedir::
+ Specify the directory from which templates will be copied.
+ (See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
+
instaweb.browser::
Specify the program that will be used to browse your working
repository in gitweb. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
mergetool.prompt::
Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
+notes.displayRef::
+ The (fully qualified) refname from which to show notes when
+ showing commit messages. The value of this variable can be set
+ to a glob, in which case notes from all matching refs will be
+ shown. You may also specify this configuration variable
+ several times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not
+ exist, but a glob that does not match any refs is silently
+ ignored.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
+environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
+globs.

+The effective value of "core.notesRef" (possibly overridden by
+GIT_NOTES_REF) is also implicitly added to the list of refs to be
+displayed.
+
+notes.rewrite.<command>::
+ When rewriting commits with <command> (currently `amend` or
+ `rebase`) and this variable is set to `true`, git
+ automatically copies your notes from the original to the
+ rewritten commit. Defaults to `true`, but see
+ "notes.rewriteRef" below.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
+environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
+globs.
+
+notes.rewriteMode::
+ When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
+ "notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
+ the target commit already has a note. Must be one of
+ `overwrite`, `concatenate`, or `ignore`. Defaults to
+ `concatenate`.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE`
+environment variable.
+
+notes.rewriteRef::
+ When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
+ qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. The ref may be a
+ glob, in which case notes in all matching refs will be copied.
+ You may also specify this configuration several times.

+Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to

- The default maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects

+ supported.
pager.<cmd>::
Allows turning on or off pagination of the output of a
