variable.
-core.autocrlf::
- If true, makes git convert `CRLF` at the end of lines in text files to
- `LF` when reading from the filesystem, and convert in reverse when
- writing to the filesystem. The variable can be set to
- 'input', in which case the conversion happens only while
- reading from the filesystem but files are written out with
- `LF` at the end of lines. A file is considered
- "text" (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) based on
- the file's `crlf` attribute, or if `crlf` is unspecified,
- based on the file's contents. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
+core.eol::
+ Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
+ files that have the `text` property set. Alternatives are
+ 'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's native
+ line ending. The default value is `native`. See

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.autocrlf`, but only for the current one. For example, a text

+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 almost the same as setting
+ the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files except that text
+ files are not guaranteed to be normalized: files that contain
+ `CRLF` in the repository will not be touched. Use this
+ setting if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
+ working directory even though the repository does not have
+ normalized line endings. This variable can be set to 'input',

- files, do not consider stat-only change as changed.
- 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.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.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;

- Tells git to detect renames. If set to any boolean value, it
- will enable basic rename detection. If set to "copies" or
- "copy", it will detect copies, as well.
-
-diff.suppressBlankEmpty::
- A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
- before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
-
-diff.tool::
- Controls which diff tool is used. `diff.tool` overrides
- `merge.tool` when used by linkgit:git-difftool[1] and has
- the same valid values as `merge.tool` minus "tortoisemerge"
- and plus "kompare".

+ 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.
+
+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
+enable note rewriting.
++
+This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
+environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
+globs.
+
pack.window::
The size of the window used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
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.deltaCacheSize::
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
supported.
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`.
+ If the value is boolean, turns on or off pagination of the
+ output of a particular git subcommand when writing to a tty.
+ Otherwise, turns on pagination for the subcommand using the
+ pager specified by the value of `pager.<cmd>`. 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`.
+
+pretty.<name>::
+ Alias for a --pretty= format string, as specified in
+ linkgit:git-log[1]. Any aliases defined here can be used just
+ as the built-in pretty formats could. For example,
+ running `git config pretty.changelog "format:{asterisk} %H %s"`
+ would cause the invocation `git log --pretty=changelog`
+ to be equivalent to running `git log "--pretty=format:{asterisk} %H %s"`.
+ Note that an alias with the same name as a built-in format
+ will be silently ignored.
pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
no refspec is implied by any of the options given on the command
line. Possible values are:
+
-* `nothing` do not push anything.
-* `matching` push all matching branches.
+* `nothing` - do not push anything.
+* `matching` - push all matching branches.
All branches having the same name in both ends are considered to be
matching. This is the default.
-* `tracking` push the current branch to its upstream branch.
-* `current` push the current branch to a branch of the same name.
+* `upstream` - push the current branch to its upstream branch.
+* `tracking` - deprecated synonym for `upstream`.
+* `current` - push the current branch to a branch of the same name.
rebase.stat::
Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
rebase. False by default.
+rebase.autosquash::
+ If set to true enable '--autosquash' option by default.
+
receive.autogc::
By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
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", receive-pack will deny a ref update
+ 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 "warn".

receive.denyNonFastForwards::
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
remote.<name>.tagopt::
Setting this value to \--no-tags disables automatic tag following when
- fetching from remote <name>
+ fetching from remote <name>. Setting it to \--tags will fetch every
+ tag from remote <name>, even if they are not reachable from remote
+ branch heads. Passing these flags directly to linkgit:git-fetch[1] can
+ override this setting. See options \--tags and \--no-tags of
+ linkgit:git-fetch[1].

the untracked files. Possible values are:
+
--
- - 'no' - Show no untracked files
- - 'normal' - Shows untracked files and directories
- - 'all' - Shows also individual files in untracked directories.
+* `no` - Show no untracked files.
+* `normal` - Show untracked files and directories.
+* `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories.

+
If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.
This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option
of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].
+status.submodulesummary::
+ Defaults to false.
+ If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an
+ unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
+ summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see
+ --summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]).
+
+submodule.<name>.path::
+submodule.<name>.url::
+submodule.<name>.update::
+ The path within this project, URL, and the updating strategy
+ for a submodule. These variables are initially populated
+ by 'git submodule init'; edit them to override the
+ URL and other values found in the `.gitmodules` file. See
+ linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
+
+submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules::
+ This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this
+ submodule. It can be overridden by using the --[no-]recurse-submodules
+ command line option to "git fetch" and "git pull".
+ This setting will override that from in the linkgit:gitmodules[5]
+ file.
+
+submodule.<name>.ignore::
+ Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
+ a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
+ modified, "dirty" will ignore all changes to the submodules work tree and
+ takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
+ recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
+ let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
+ Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
+ submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
+ This setting overrides any setting made in .gitmodules for this submodule,
+ both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
+ "--ignore-submodules" option.
+
tar.umask::
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
