the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT.
See gitlink:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
+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. Currently, which paths to consider
+ "text" (i.e. be subjected to the autocrlf mechanism) is
+ decided purely based on the contents.
+
core.symlinks::
If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
contain the link text. gitlink:git-update-index[1] and
and might match multiple refs in the .git/refs/ tree. True by default.
core.compression::
+ An integer -1..9, indicating a default compression level.
+ -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no compression,
+ and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being slowest.
+
+core.loosecompression::
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
- are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib and git default. 0 means no
+ are not in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being

-core.legacyheaders::
- A boolean which
- changes the format of loose objects so that they are more
- efficient to pack and to send out of the repository over git
- native protocol, since v1.4.2. However, loose objects
- written in the new format cannot be read by git older than
- that version; people fetching from your repository using
- older versions of git over dumb transports (e.g. http)
- will also be affected.

-To let git use the new loose object format, you have to
-set core.legacyheaders to false.
+ slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
+ not set, defaults to 0 (best speed).
core.packedGitWindowSize::
Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
+
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
+ Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
+ that multiple deltafied objects reference. By storing the
+ entire decompressed base objects in a cache Git is able
+ to avoid unpacking and decompressing frequently used base
+ objects multiple times.
++
+Default is 16 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
+for all users/operating systems, except on the largest projects.
+You probably do not need to adjust this value.

+Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
+
alias.*::
Command aliases for the gitlink:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
`git fetch`) to lookup the default branch for merging. Without
this option, `git pull` defaults to merge the first refspec fetched.
Specify multiple values to get an octopus merge.
+ If you wish to setup `git pull` so that it merges into <name> from
+ another branch in the local repository, you can point
+ branch.<name>.merge to the desired branch, and use the special setting
+ `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
+
+clean.requireForce::
+ A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f or -n. Defaults
+ to false.
color.branch::
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
`.patch`. Use this variable to change that suffix (make sure to
include the dot if you want it).
+gc.aggressiveWindow::
+ The window size parameter used in the delta compression
+ algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
+ to 10.
+
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
The default is 15 days. See gitlink:git-rerere[1].
gitcvs.enabled::
- Whether the cvs pserver interface is enabled for this repository.
+ Whether the cvs server interface is enabled for this repository.
See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
gitcvs.logfile::
- Path to a log file where the cvs pserver interface well... logs
+ Path to a log file where the cvs server interface well... logs
various stuff. See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
+gitcvs.allbinary::
+ If true, all files are sent to the client in mode '-kb'. This
+ causes the client to treat all files as binary files which suppresses
+ any newline munging it otherwise might do. A work-around for the
+ fact that there is no way yet to set single files to mode '-kb'.
+
+gitcvs.dbname::
+ Database used by git-cvsserver to cache revision information
+ derived from the git repository. The exact meaning depends on the
+ used database driver, for SQLite (which is the default driver) this
+ is a filename. Supports variable substitution (see
+ gitlink:git-cvsserver[1] for details). May not contain semicolons (`;`).
+ Default: '%Ggitcvs.%m.sqlite'
+
+gitcvs.dbdriver::
+ Used Perl DBI driver. You can specify any available driver
+ for this here, but it might not work. git-cvsserver is tested
+ with 'DBD::SQLite', reported to work with 'DBD::Pg', and
+ reported *not* to work with 'DBD::mysql'. Experimental feature.
+ May not contain double colons (`:`). Default: 'SQLite'.
+ See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1].
+
+gitcvs.dbuser, gitcvs.dbpass::
+ Database user and password. Only useful if setting 'gitcvs.dbdriver',
+ since SQLite has no concept of database users and/or passwords.
+ 'gitcvs.dbuser' supports variable substitution (see
+ gitlink:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
+
+All gitcvs variables except for 'gitcvs.allbinary' can also specifed
+as 'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method' is one
+of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given access
+method.
+
http.sslVerify::
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment
http.noEPSV::
A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
- This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which doesn't
+ This can helpful with some "poor" ftp servers which don't
support EPSV mode. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_CURL_FTP_NO_EPSV'
environment variable. Default is false (curl will use EPSV).
merge.tool::
Controls which merge resolution program is used by
gitlink:git-mergetool[l]. Valid values are: "kdiff3", "tkdiff",
- "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge"
+ "meld", "xxdiff", "emerge", "vimdiff", and "opendiff"
merge.verbosity::
Controls the amount of output shown by the recursive merge
conflicts, 2 outputs conflicts and file changes. Level 5 and
above outputs debugging information. The default is level 2.
+merge.<driver>.name::
+ Defines a human readable name for a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.driver::
+ Defines the command that implements a custom low-level
+ merge driver. See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
+merge.<driver>.recursive::
+ Names a low-level merge driver to be used when
+ performing an internal merge between common ancestors.
+ See gitlink:gitattributes[5] for details.
+
pack.window::
The size of the window used by gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] when no
window size is given on the command line. Defaults to 10.
+pack.depth::
+ The maximum delta depth used by gitlink:git-pack-objects[1] when no
+ maximum depth is given on the command line. Defaults to 50.
+
+pack.compression::
+ An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects
+ in a pack file. -1 is the zlib default. 0 means no
+ compression, and 1..9 are various speed/size tradeoffs, 9 being
+ slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
+ not set, defaults to -1.

pull.octopus::
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
at once.
user.email::
Your email address to be recorded in any newly created commits.
