Advices shown by various commands when conflicts
prevent the operation from being performed.
Default: true.
+ implicitIdentity::
+ Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
+ your information is guessed from the system username and
+ domain name. Default: true.
--
core.fileMode::
= true).
core.worktree::
- 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).
+ Set the path to the root of the work tree.
This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
variable and the '--work-tree' command line option. It can be
- a absolute path or relative path to the directory specified by
- --git-dir or GIT_DIR.
- Note: If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
+ an absolute path or a relative path to the .git directory,
+ either specified by --git-dir or GIT_DIR, or automatically
+ discovered.
+ If --git-dir or GIT_DIR are specified but none of
--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
- the current working directory is regarded as the top directory
- of your working tree.
+ the current working directory is regarded as the root of the
+ work 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 "/path/to" directory will
+still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
+great confusion to the users.
core.logAllRefUpdates::
Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and can be overridden by
the `GIT_NOTES_REF` environment variable.
+core.sparseCheckout::
+ Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
+ linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
+
add.ignore-errors::
Tells 'git-add' to continue adding files when some files cannot be
added due to indexing errors. Equivalent to the '--ignore-errors'
as the '--whitespace' option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
branch.autosetupmerge::
- Tells 'git-branch' and 'git-checkout' to setup new branches
+ Tells 'git-branch' and 'git-checkout' to set up new branches
so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from the
starting point branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
this behavior can be chosen per-branch using the `--track`
terminal. When more specific variables of color.* are set, they always
take precedence over this setting. Defaults to false.
+commit.status
+ A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
+ commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
+ message. Defaults to true.
+
commit.template::
Specify a file to use as the template for new commit messages.
"{tilde}/" is expanded to the value of `$HOME` and "{tilde}user/" to the
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' commands such as 'git-diff-files'.
diff.external::
If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
format.thread::
The default threading style for 'git-format-patch'. Can be
- either a boolean value, `shallow` or `deep`. `shallow`
- threading makes every mail a reply to the head of the series,
+ a boolean value, or `shallow` or `deep`. `shallow` threading
+ makes every mail a reply to the head of the series,
where the head is chosen from the cover letter, the
`\--in-reply-to`, and the first patch mail, in this order.
`deep` threading makes every mail a reply to the previous one.
default value is 50. Setting this to 0 disables it.
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
- from the repository. Setting this to `true` lets 'git-gc'
- to run `git pack-refs`. Setting this to `false` tells
- 'git-gc' never to run `git pack-refs`. The default setting is
- `notbare`. Enable it only when you know you do not have to
- support such clients. The default setting will change to `true`
- at some stage, and setting this to `false` will continue to
- prevent `git pack-refs` from being run from 'git-gc'.
+ Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
+ unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
+ transports such as HTTP. This variable determines whether
+ 'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to "nobare"
+ to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
+ boolean value. The default is `true`.
gc.pruneexpire::
When 'git-gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
by the 'GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS' environment variable. Default is 5.
+http.minSessions::
+ The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
+ requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
+ http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
+ value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
+
http.postBuffer::
Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
Setting this value to \--no-tags disables automatic tag following when
fetching from remote <name>
+remote.<name>.vcs::
+ Setting this to a value <vcs> will cause git to interact with
+ the remote with the git-remote-<vcs> helper.
+
remotes.<group>::
The list of remotes which are fetched by "git remote update
<group>". See linkgit:git-remote[1].
