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 or by giving the
- `core.pager` option a value such as "`less -+FRSX`".
+ `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
affects only 'git-diff' Porcelain, and not lower level
'diff' commands, such as 'git-diff-files'.
+diff.suppress-blank-empty::
+ A boolean to inhibit the standard behavior of printing a space
+ before each empty output line. Defaults to false.
+
diff.external::
If this config variable is set, diff generation is not
performed using the internal diff machinery, but using the
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;
+'git-diff HEAD:file1 file2';;
+ compares an (o)bject and a (w)ork tree entity;
+'git diff --no-index a b';;
+ compares two non-git things (1) and (2).
+
diff.renameLimit::
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename
detection; equivalent to the 'git-diff' option '-l'.
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
Values 'man', 'info', 'web' and 'html' are supported. 'man' is
the default. 'web' and 'html' are the same.
+help.autocorrect::
+ Automatically correct and execute mistyped commands after
+ waiting for the given number of deciseconds (0.1 sec). If more
+ than one command can be deduced from the entered text, nothing
+ will be executed. If the value of this option is negative,
+ the corrected command will be executed immediately. If the
+ value is 0 - the command will be just shown but not executed.
+ This is the default.
+
http.proxy::
Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy'
environment variable (see linkgit:curl[1]). This can be overridden
Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
display help in the 'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
+merge.conflictstyle::
+ Specify the style in which conflicted hunks are written out to
+ working tree files upon merge. The default is "merge", which
+ shows `<<<<<<<` conflict marker, change made by one side,
+ `=======` marker, change made by the other side, and then
+ `>>>>>>>` marker. An alternate style, "diff3", adds `|||||||`
+ marker and the original text before `=======` marker.
+
mergetool.<tool>.path::
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
your tool is not in the PATH.
