Set the path to the working tree. The value will not be
used in combination with repositories found automatically in
a .git directory (i.e. $GIT_DIR is not set).
- This can be overriden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
+ This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option.
core.logAllRefUpdates::
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
If this option is not given, `git fetch` defaults to remote "origin".
branch.<name>.merge::
- When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default refspec to
- be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value has exactly to match
- a remote part of one of the refspecs which are fetched from the remote
- given by "branch.<name>.remote".
+ When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` the default

The merge information is used by `git pull` (which at first calls
`git fetch`) to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
this option, `git pull` defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the special setting
`.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+branch.<name>.mergeoptions::
+ Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and
+ supported options are equal to that of gitlink:git-merge[1], but
+ option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
+ supported.

clean.requireForce::
A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f
or -n. Defaults to true.
pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
especially on slow filesystems.
+format.numbered::
+ A boolean which can enable sequence numbers in patch subjects.
+ Seting this option to "auto" will enable it only if there is
+ more than one patch. See --numbered option in
+ gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
+
format.headers::
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1].
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
to 10.
+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. Setting
+ this to 0 disables it.
+
+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. Setting
+ this to 0 disables this.
+
gc.packrefs::
`git gc` does not run `git pack-refs` in a bare repository by
default so that older dumb-transport clients can still fetch
message if conflicts were detected. Level 1 outputs only
conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes. Level 5 and
above outputs debugging information. The default is level 2.
- Can be overriden by 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable.
+ Can be overridden by 'GIT_MERGE_VERBOSITY' environment variable.
merge.<driver>.name::
Defines a human readable name for a custom low-level
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.
+ not set, defaults to -1, the zlib default, which is "a default
+ compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
+ to level 6)."
pack.deltaCacheSize::
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in

pack.deltaCacheLimit::
- The maxium size of a delta, that is cached in
+ The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in
gitlink:git-pack-objects[1]. Defaults to 1000.
+pack.threads::
+ Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
+ delta matches. This requires that gitlink: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.
+
+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 selected and this config option ignored
+ whenever the corresponding pack is larger than 2 GB. Otherwise
+ the default is 1.
+
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
