branch.autosetupmerge::
Tells `git-branch` and `git-checkout` to setup new branches
- so that linkgit:git-pull[1] will appropriately merge from that
- remote branch. Note that even if this option is not set,
+ 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`
- and `--no-track` options. This option defaults to true.
+ and `--no-track` options. The valid settings are: `false` -- no
+ automatic setup is done; `true` -- automatic setup is done when the
+ starting point is a remote branch; `always` -- automatic setup is
+ done when the starting point is either a local branch or remote
+ branch. This option defaults to true.
branch.<name>.remote::
When in branch <name>, it tells `git fetch` which remote to fetch.
`.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
include the dot if you want it).
+format.pretty::
+ The default pretty format for log/show/whatchanged command,
+ See linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1],
+ linkgit:git-whatchanged[1].
+
gc.aggressiveWindow::
The window size parameter used in the delta compression
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
merge.tool::
Controls which merge resolution program is used by
- linkgit:git-mergetool[1]. Valid values are: "kdiff3", "tkdiff",
- "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff", "gvimdiff", and "opendiff".
+ linkgit:git-mergetool[1]. Valid built-in values are: "kdiff3",
+ "tkdiff", "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff", "gvimdiff", and
+ "opendiff". Any other value is treated is custom merge tool
+ and there must be a corresponing mergetool.<tool>.cmd option.
merge.verbosity::
Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
your tool is not in the PATH.
+mergetool.<tool>.cmd::
+ Specify the command to invoke the specified merge tool. The
+ specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
+ variables available: 'BASE' is the name of a temporary file
+ containing the common base of the files to be merged, if available;
+ 'LOCAL' is the name of a temporary file containing the contents of
+ the file on the current branch; 'REMOTE' is the name of a temporary
+ file containing the contents of the file from the branch being
+ merged; 'MERGED' contains the name of the file to which the merge
+ tool should write the results of a successful merge.
+
+mergetool.<tool>.trustExitCode::
+ For a custom merge command, specify whether the exit code of
+ the merge command can be used to determine whether the merge was
+ successful. If this is not set to true then the merge target file
+ timestamp is checked and the merge assumed to have been successful
+ if the file has been updated, otherwise the user is prompted to
+ indicate the success of the merge.
+
+mergetool.keepBackup::
+ After performing a merge, the original file with conflict markers
+ can be saved as a file with a `.orig` extension. If this variable
+ is set to `false` then this file is not preserved. Defaults to
+ `true` (i.e. keep the backup files).
+
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.
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.
+ Specifying 0 will cause git to auto-detect the number of CPU's
+ and set the number of threads accordingly.
pack.indexVersion::
Specify the default pack index version. Valid values are 1 for
remote.<name>.receivepack::
The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
- option \--exec of linkgit:git-push[1].
+ option \--receive-pack of linkgit:git-push[1].
remote.<name>.uploadpack::
The default program to execute on the remote side when fetching. See
- option \--exec of linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
+ option \--upload-pack of linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
remote.<name>.tagopt::
- Setting this value to --no-tags disables automatic tag following when fetching
- from remote <name>
+ Setting this value to \--no-tags disables automatic tag following when
+ fetching from remote <name>
remotes.<group>::
The list of remotes which are fetched by "git remote update
archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) and
linkgit:git-archive[1].
+url.<base>.insteadOf::
+ Any URL that starts with this value will be rewritten to
+ start, instead, with <base>. In cases where some site serves a
+ large number of repositories, and serves them with multiple
+ access methods, and some users need to use different access
+ methods, this feature allows people to specify any of the
+ equivalent URLs and have git automatically rewrite the URL to
+ the best alternative for the particular user, even for a
+ never-before-seen repository on the site. When more than one
+ insteadOf strings match a given URL, the longest match is used.
+
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
