---exec-path::
+-c <name>=<value>::
+ Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value
+ given will override values from configuration files.
+ The <name> is expected in the same format as listed by
+ 'git config' (subkeys separated by dots).
+
+--exec-path[=<path>]::
Path to wherever your core git programs are installed.
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH
environment variable. If no path is given, 'git' will print
This can also be controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE
environment variable and the core.worktree configuration

+ current working directory.
Note: 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
(i.e. the contents of `$GIT_DIR/refs/heads/<head>`).

File/Directory Structure
a GIT_DIR set on the command line or in the environment.
(Useful for excluding slow-loading network directories.)
+'GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM'::
+ When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository
+ directory, git tries to find such a directory in the parent
+ directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it
+ does not cross filesystem boundaries. This environment variable
+ can be set to true to tell git not to stop at filesystem
+ boundaries. Like 'GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES', this will not affect
+ an explicit repository directory set via 'GIT_DIR' or on the
+ command line.
+
git Commits
~~~~~~~~~~~
'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME'::
personal `.ssh/config` file. Please consult your ssh documentation
for further details.
+'GIT_ASKPASS'::
+ If this environment variable is set, then git commands which need to
+ acquire passwords or passphrases (e.g. for HTTP or IMAP authentication)
+ will call this program with a suitable prompt as command line argument
+ and read the password from its STDOUT. See also the 'core.askpass'
+ option in linkgit:git-config[1].
+
'GIT_FLUSH'::
If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such
as 'git blame' (in incremental mode), 'git rev-list', 'git log',
<david@dgreaves.com>, and later enhanced greatly by the
contributors on the git-list <git@vger.kernel.org>.
+Reporting Bugs
+--------------
+
+Report bugs to the Git mailing list <git@vger.kernel.org> where the
+development and maintenance is primarily done. You do not have to be
