In this syntax, subsection names follow the same restrictions as for section
names.
-All the other lines are recognized as setting variables, in the form
+All the other lines (and the remainder of the line after the section
+header) are recognized as setting variables, in the form
'name = value'. If there is no equal sign on the line, the entire line
is taken as 'name' and the variable is recognized as boolean "true".
The variable names are case-insensitive and only alphanumeric
in the appropriate manual page. You will find a description of non-core
porcelain configuration variables in the respective porcelain documentation.
+advice.*::
+ When set to 'true', display the given optional help message.
+ When set to 'false', do not display. The configuration variables
+ are:
++
+--
+ pushNonFastForward::
+ Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] refuses
+ non-fast-forward refs. Default: true.
+ statusHints::
+ Directions on how to stage/unstage/add shown in the
+ output of linkgit:git-status[1] and the template shown
+ when writing commit messages. Default: true.
+--
+
core.fileMode::
If false, the executable bit differences between the index and
the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
+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'
+ option of linkgit:git-add[1].
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
it will be treated as a shell command. For example, defining
"alias.new = !gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD", the invocation
"git new" is equivalent to running the shell command
-"gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD".
+"gitk --all --not ORIG_HEAD". Note that shell commands will be
+executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
+not necessarily be the current directory.
+
+apply.ignorewhitespace::
+ When set to 'change', tells 'git-apply' to ignore changes in
+ whitespace, in the same way as the '--ignore-space-change'
+ option.
+ When set to one of: no, none, never, false tells 'git-apply' to
+ respect all whitespace differences.
+ See linkgit:git-apply[1].
apply.whitespace::
Tells 'git-apply' how to handle whitespaces, in the same way
Use customized color for 'git-add --interactive'
output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help` or `error`, for
four distinct types of normal output from interactive
- programs. The values of these variables may be specified as
+ commands. The values of these variables may be specified as
in color.branch.<slot>.
color.pager::
A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in
use (default is true).
+color.showbranch::
+ A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
+ linkgit:git-show-branch[1]. May be set to `always`,
+ `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used
+ only when the output is to a terminal. Defaults to false.
+
color.status::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
linkgit:git-status[1]. May be set to `always`,
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_KEY' environment
variable.
+http.sslCertPasswordProtected::
+ Enable git's password prompt for the SSL certificate. Otherwise
+ OpenSSL will prompt the user, possibly many times, if the
+ certificate or private key is encrypted. Can be overridden by the
+ 'GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED' environment variable.
+
http.sslCAInfo::
File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when
fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the
linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
interactive.singlekey::
- In interactive programs, allow the user to provide one-letter
+ In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
Currently this is used only by the `\--patch` mode of
linkgit:git-add[1]. Note that this setting is silently
pack.deltaCacheSize::
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
- linkgit:git-pack-objects[1].
- A value of 0 means no limit. Defaults to 0.
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] before writing them out to a pack.
+ This cache is used to speed up the writing object phase by not
+ having to recompute the final delta result once the best match
+ for all objects is found. Repacking large repositories on machines
+ which are tight with memory might be badly impacted by this though,
+ especially if this cache pushes the system into swapping.
+ A value of 0 means no limit. The smallest size of 1 byte may be
+ used to virtually disable this cache. Defaults to 256 MiB.
pack.deltaCacheLimit::
The maximum size of a delta, that is cached in
- linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. Defaults to 1000.
+ linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]. This cache is used to speed up the
+ writing object phase by not having to recompute the final delta
+ result once the best match for all objects is found. Defaults to 1000.

Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
The URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-fetch[1] or
linkgit:git-push[1].
+remote.<name>.pushurl::
+ The push URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-push[1].
+
remote.<name>.proxy::
For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the URL to
the proxy to use for that remote. Set to the empty string to
default enabled if you create `rr-cache` directory under
`$GIT_DIR`, but can be disabled by setting this option to false.
+sendemail.identity::
+ A configuration identity. When given, causes values in the
+ 'sendemail.<identity>' subsection to take precedence over
+ values in the 'sendemail' section. The default identity is
+ the value of 'sendemail.identity'.
+
+sendemail.smtpencryption::
+ See linkgit:git-send-email[1] for description. Note that this
+ setting is not subject to the 'identity' mechanism.
+

+ Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.smtpencryption = ssl'.
+

never-before-seen repository on the site. When more than one
insteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is used.
+url.<base>.pushInsteadOf::
+ Any URL that starts with this value will not be pushed to;
+ instead, it will be rewritten to start with <base>, and the
+ resulting URL will be pushed to. In cases where some site serves
+ a large number of repositories, and serves them with multiple
+ access methods, some of which do not allow push, this feature
+ allows people to specify a pull-only URL and have git
+ automatically use an appropriate URL to push, even for a
+ never-before-seen repository on the site. When more than one
+ pushInsteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is
+ used. If a remote has an explicit pushurl, git will ignore this
+ setting for that remote.
+
user.email::
Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL', 'GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL', and
