core.quotepath::
The commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files',
'diff'), when not given the `-z` option, will quote
`EDITOR` environment variables and then finally `vi`.
core.pager::
- The command that git will use to paginate output. Can be overridden

+ The command that git will use to paginate output. Can
+ be overridden with the `GIT_PAGER` environment
+ variable. Note that git sets the `LESS` environment
+ variable to `FRSX` if it is unset when it runs the
+ pager. One can change these settings by setting the
+ `LESS` variable to some other value. Alternately,
+ these settings can be overridden on a project or
+ global basis by setting the `core.pager` option.
+ Setting `core.pager` has no affect on the `LESS`
+ environment variable behaviour above, so if you want
+ to override git's default settings this way, you need
+ to be explicit. For example, to disable the S option
+ in a backward compatible manner, set `core.pager`
+ to "`less -+$LESS -FRX`". This will be passed to the
+ shell by git, which will translate the final command to
+ "`LESS=FRSX less -+FRSX -FRX`".
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

color.branch.<slot>.
-commit.template::
- Specify a file to use as the template for new commit messages.
-
color.ui::
When set to `always`, always use colors in all git commands which
are capable of colored output. When false (or `never`), never. When

diff.autorefreshindex::
When using 'git-diff' to compare with work tree
files, do not consider stat-only change as changed.

If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the

diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
kept for this many days when 'git-rerere gc' is run.
The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
-rerere.autoupdate::
- When set to true, `git-rerere` updates the index with the
- resulting contents after it cleanly resolves conflicts using
- previously recorded resolution. Defaults to false.
-
-rerere.enabled::
- Activate recording of resolved conflicts, so that identical
- conflict hunks can be resolved automatically, should they
- be encountered again. linkgit:git-rerere[1] command is by
- default enabled if you create `rr-cache` directory under
- `$GIT_DIR`, but can be disabled by setting this option to false.
-
gitcvs.enabled::
Whether the CVS server interface is enabled for this repository.
See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
Path to a log file where the CVS server interface well... logs
various stuff. See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
-gitcvs.usecrlfattr
+gitcvs.usecrlfattr::
If true, the server will look up the `crlf` attribute for
files to determine the '-k' modes to use. If `crlf` is set,
the '-k' mode will be left blank, so cvs clients will
treat it as text. If `crlf` is explicitly unset, the file

Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when

+imap::
+ The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
+ in linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
+
instaweb.browser::
Specify the program that will be used to browse your working
repository in gitweb. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
Specify the programs that may be used to display help in the
'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
-include::merge-config.txt[]
-
man.<tool>.cmd::
Specify the command to invoke the specified man viewer. The
specified command is evaluated in shell with the man page
Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
display help in the 'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
+include::merge-config.txt[]
+
mergetool.<tool>.path::
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
your tool is not in the PATH.
can be overridden by the `\--max-pack-size` option of
linkgit:git-repack[1].
+pager.<cmd>::
+ Allows turning on or off pagination of the output of a
+ particular git subcommand when writing to a tty. If
+ `\--paginate` or `\--no-pager` is specified on the command line,
+ it takes precedence over this option. To disable pagination for
+ all commands, set `core.pager` or 'GIT_PAGER' to "`cat`".
+
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
pull.twohead::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
+receive.fsckObjects::
+ If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
+ objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
+ broken link. The result of an abort are only dangling objects.
+ Defaults to false.
+
+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.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.
+
remote.<name>.url::
The URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-fetch[1] or
linkgit:git-push[1].

native protocol are unaffected by this option.

The default set of branches for linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
See linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) and
linkgit:git-archive[1].
+transfer.unpackLimit::
+ When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
+ not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
+ The default value is 100.
+
url.<base>.insteadOf::
Any URL that starts with this value will be rewritten to
start, instead, with <base>. In cases where some site serves a
unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter, so you may specify a key
using any method that gpg supports.
