Documentation/config.txt does not include the documentation for log.follow that is in Documentation/git-log.txt. This commit adds the log.follow documentation to config.txt and also updates the wording to be consistent with the format that is followed by other boolean configuration variables.

CONFIGURATION FILE
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
The Git configuration file contains a number of variables that affect
|
|
the Git commands' behavior. The `.git/config` file in each repository
|
|
is used to store the configuration for that repository, and
|
|
`$HOME/.gitconfig` is used to store a per-user configuration as
|
|
fallback values for the `.git/config` file. The file `/etc/gitconfig`
|
|
can be used to store a system-wide default configuration.
|
|
|
|
The configuration variables are used by both the Git plumbing
|
|
and the porcelains. The variables are divided into sections, wherein
|
|
the fully qualified variable name of the variable itself is the last
|
|
dot-separated segment and the section name is everything before the last
|
|
dot. The variable names are case-insensitive, allow only alphanumeric
|
|
characters and `-`, and must start with an alphabetic character. Some
|
|
variables may appear multiple times; we say then that the variable is
|
|
multivalued.
|
|
|
|
Syntax
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; whitespaces are mostly
|
|
ignored. The '#' and ';' characters begin comments to the end of line,
|
|
blank lines are ignored.
|
|
|
|
The file consists of sections and variables. A section begins with
|
|
the name of the section in square brackets and continues until the next
|
|
section begins. Section names are case-insensitive. Only alphanumeric
|
|
characters, `-` and `.` are allowed in section names. Each variable
|
|
must belong to some section, which means that there must be a section
|
|
header before the first setting of a variable.
|
|
|
|
Sections can be further divided into subsections. To begin a subsection
|
|
put its name in double quotes, separated by space from the section name,
|
|
in the section header, like in the example below:
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
[section "subsection"]
|
|
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Subsection names are case sensitive and can contain any characters except
|
|
newline (doublequote `"` and backslash can be included by escaping them
|
|
as `\"` and `\\`, respectively). Section headers cannot span multiple
|
|
lines. Variables may belong directly to a section or to a given subsection.
|
|
You can have `[section]` if you have `[section "subsection"]`, but you
|
|
don't need to.
|
|
|
|
There is also a deprecated `[section.subsection]` syntax. With this
|
|
syntax, the subsection name is converted to lower-case and is also
|
|
compared case sensitively. These subsection names follow the same
|
|
restrictions as section names.
|
|
|
|
All the other lines (and the remainder of the line after the section
|
|
header) are recognized as setting variables, in the form
|
|
'name = value' (or just 'name', which is a short-hand to say that
|
|
the variable is the boolean "true").
|
|
The variable names are case-insensitive, allow only alphanumeric characters
|
|
and `-`, and must start with an alphabetic character.
|
|
|
|
A line that defines a value can be continued to the next line by
|
|
ending it with a `\`; the backquote and the end-of-line are
|
|
stripped. Leading whitespaces after 'name =', the remainder of the
|
|
line after the first comment character '#' or ';', and trailing
|
|
whitespaces of the line are discarded unless they are enclosed in
|
|
double quotes. Internal whitespaces within the value are retained
|
|
verbatim.
|
|
|
|
Inside double quotes, double quote `"` and backslash `\` characters
|
|
must be escaped: use `\"` for `"` and `\\` for `\`.
|
|
|
|
The following escape sequences (beside `\"` and `\\`) are recognized:
|
|
`\n` for newline character (NL), `\t` for horizontal tabulation (HT, TAB)
|
|
and `\b` for backspace (BS). Other char escape sequences (including octal
|
|
escape sequences) are invalid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Includes
|
|
~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
You can include one config file from another by setting the special
|
|
`include.path` variable to the name of the file to be included. The
|
|
included file is expanded immediately, as if its contents had been
|
|
found at the location of the include directive. If the value of the
|
|
`include.path` variable is a relative path, the path is considered to be
|
|
relative to the configuration file in which the include directive was
|
|
found. The value of `include.path` is subject to tilde expansion: `~/`
|
|
is expanded to the value of `$HOME`, and `~user/` to the specified
|
|
user's home directory. See below for examples.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
# Core variables
|
|
[core]
|
|
; Don't trust file modes
|
|
filemode = false
|
|
|
|
# Our diff algorithm
|
|
[diff]
|
|
external = /usr/local/bin/diff-wrapper
|
|

|
path = /path/to/foo.inc ; include by absolute path

|
|
|
|
|
|
Values
|
|
~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Values of many variables are treated as a simple string, but there
|
|
are variables that take values of specific types and there are rules
|
|
as to how to spell them.
|
|
|
|
boolean::
|
|
|
|
When a variable is said to take a boolean value, many
|
|
synonyms are accepted for 'true' and 'false'; these are all
|
|
case-insensitive.
|
|
|
|
true;; Boolean true can be spelled as `yes`, `on`, `true`,
|
|
or `1`. Also, a variable defined without `= <value>`
|
|
is taken as true.
|
|
|
|
false;; Boolean false can be spelled as `no`, `off`,
|
|
`false`, or `0`.
|
|
+
|
|
When converting value to the canonical form using '--bool' type
|
|
specifier; 'git config' will ensure that the output is "true" or
|
|
"false" (spelled in lowercase).
|
|
|
|
integer::
|
|
The value for many variables that specify various sizes can
|
|
be suffixed with `k`, `M`,... to mean "scale the number by
|
|
1024", "by 1024x1024", etc.
|
|
|
|
color::
|
|
The value for a variables that takes a color is a list of
|
|
colors (at most two) and attributes (at most one), separated
|
|
by spaces. The colors accepted are `normal`, `black`,
|
|
`red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan` and
|
|
`white`; the attributes are `bold`, `dim`, `ul`, `blink` and
|
|
`reverse`. The first color given is the foreground; the
|
|
second is the background. The position of the attribute, if
|
|
any, doesn't matter. Attributes may be turned off specifically
|
|
by prefixing them with `no` (e.g., `noreverse`, `noul`, etc).
|
|
+
|
|
Colors (foreground and background) may also be given as numbers between
|
|
0 and 255; these use ANSI 256-color mode (but note that not all
|
|
terminals may support this). If your terminal supports it, you may also
|
|
specify 24-bit RGB values as hex, like `#ff0ab3`.
|
|
+
|
|
The attributes are meant to be reset at the beginning of each item
|
|
in the colored output, so setting color.decorate.branch to `black`
|
|
will paint that branch name in a plain `black`, even if the previous
|
|
thing on the same output line (e.g. opening parenthesis before the
|
|
list of branch names in `log --decorate` output) is set to be
|
|
painted with `bold` or some other attribute.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Variables
|
|
~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Note that this list is non-comprehensive and not necessarily complete.
|
|
For command-specific variables, you will find a more detailed description
|
|
in the appropriate manual page.
|
|
|
|
Other git-related tools may and do use their own variables. When
|
|
inventing new variables for use in your own tool, make sure their
|
|
names do not conflict with those that are used by Git itself and
|
|
other popular tools, and describe them in your documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
advice.*::
|
|
These variables control various optional help messages designed to
|
|
aid new users. All 'advice.*' variables default to 'true', and you
|
|
can tell Git that you do not need help by setting these to 'false':
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
pushUpdateRejected::
|
|
Set this variable to 'false' if you want to disable
|
|
'pushNonFFCurrent',
|
|
'pushNonFFMatching', 'pushAlreadyExists',
|
|
'pushFetchFirst', and 'pushNeedsForce'
|
|
simultaneously.
|
|
pushNonFFCurrent::
|
|
Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a
|
|
non-fast-forward update to the current branch.
|
|
pushNonFFMatching::
|
|
Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
|
|
'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
|
|
specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
|
|
it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
|
|
pushAlreadyExists::
|
|
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
|
|
does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
|
|
pushFetchFirst::
|
|
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
|
|
tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
|
|
object we do not have.
|
|
pushNeedsForce::
|
|
Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
|
|
tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
|
|
object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
|
|
ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
|
|
statusHints::
|
|
Show directions on how to proceed from the current
|
|
state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in
|
|
the template shown when writing commit messages in
|
|
linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
|
|
by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.
|
|
statusUoption::
|
|
Advise to consider using the `-u` option to linkgit:git-status[1]
|
|
when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate untracked
|
|
files.
|
|
commitBeforeMerge::
|
|
Advice shown when linkgit:git-merge[1] refuses to
|
|
merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
|
|
resolveConflict::
|
|
Advice shown by various commands when conflicts
|
|
prevent the operation from being performed.
|
|
implicitIdentity::
|
|
Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
|
|
your information is guessed from the system username and
|
|
domain name.
|
|
detachedHead::
|
|
Advice shown when you used linkgit:git-checkout[1] to
|
|
move to the detach HEAD state, to instruct how to create
|
|
a local branch after the fact.
|
|
amWorkDir::
|
|
Advice that shows the location of the patch file when
|
|
linkgit:git-am[1] fails to apply it.
|
|
rmHints::
|
|
In case of failure in the output of linkgit:git-rm[1],
|
|
show directions on how to proceed from the current state.

|
|
|
|
core.fileMode::
|
|
Tells Git if the executable bit of files in the working tree
|
|
is to be honored.
|
|
+
|
|
Some filesystems lose the executable bit when a file that is
|
|
marked as executable is checked out, or checks out an
|
|
non-executable file with executable bit on.
|
|
linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1] probe the filesystem
|
|
to see if it handles the executable bit correctly
|
|
and this variable is automatically set as necessary.
|
|
+
|
|
A repository, however, may be on a filesystem that handles
|
|
the filemode correctly, and this variable is set to 'true'
|
|
when created, but later may be made accessible from another
|
|
environment that loses the filemode (e.g. exporting ext4 via
|
|
CIFS mount, visiting a Cygwin created repository with
|
|
Git for Windows or Eclipse).
|
|
In such a case it may be necessary to set this variable to 'false'.
|
|
See linkgit:git-update-index[1].
|
|
+
|
|
The default is true (when core.filemode is not specified in the config file).
|
|
|
|
core.ignoreCase::
|
|
If true, this option enables various workarounds to enable
|
|
Git to work better on filesystems that are not case sensitive,
|
|
like FAT. For example, if a directory listing finds
|
|
"makefile" when Git expects "Makefile", Git will assume
|
|
it is really the same file, and continue to remember it as
|
|
"Makefile".
|
|
+
|
|
The default is false, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
|
|
will probe and set core.ignoreCase true if appropriate when the repository
|
|
is created.
|
|
|
|
core.precomposeUnicode::
|
|
This option is only used by Mac OS implementation of Git.
|
|
When core.precomposeUnicode=true, Git reverts the unicode decomposition
|
|
of filenames done by Mac OS. This is useful when sharing a repository
|
|
between Mac OS and Linux or Windows.
|
|
(Git for Windows 1.7.10 or higher is needed, or Git under cygwin 1.7).
|
|
When false, file names are handled fully transparent by Git,
|
|
which is backward compatible with older versions of Git.
|
|
|
|
core.protectHFS::
|
|
If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
|
|
be considered equivalent to `.git` on an HFS+ filesystem.
|
|
Defaults to `true` on Mac OS, and `false` elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
core.protectNTFS::
|
|
If set to true, do not allow checkout of paths that would
|
|
cause problems with the NTFS filesystem, e.g. conflict with
|
|
8.3 "short" names.
|
|
Defaults to `true` on Windows, and `false` elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
core.trustctime::
|
|
If false, the ctime differences between the index and the
|
|
working tree are ignored; useful when the inode change time
|
|
is regularly modified by something outside Git (file system
|
|
crawlers and some backup systems).
|
|
See linkgit:git-update-index[1]. True by default.
|
|
|
|
core.checkStat::
|
|
Determines which stat fields to match between the index
|
|
and work tree. The user can set this to 'default' or
|
|
'minimal'. Default (or explicitly 'default'), is to check
|
|
all fields, including the sub-second part of mtime and ctime.
|
|
|
|
core.quotePath::
|
|
The commands that output paths (e.g. 'ls-files',
|
|
'diff'), when not given the `-z` option, will quote
|
|
"unusual" characters in the pathname by enclosing the
|
|
pathname in a double-quote pair and with backslashes the
|
|
same way strings in C source code are quoted. If this
|
|
variable is set to false, the bytes higher than 0x80 are
|
|
not quoted but output as verbatim. Note that double
|
|
quote, backslash and control characters are always
|
|
quoted without `-z` regardless of the setting of this
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
core.eol::
|
|
Sets the line ending type to use in the working directory for
|
|
files that have the `text` property set. Alternatives are
|
|
'lf', 'crlf' and 'native', which uses the platform's native
|
|
line ending. The default value is `native`. See
|
|
linkgit:gitattributes[5] for more information on end-of-line
|
|
conversion.
|
|
|
|
core.safecrlf::
|
|
If true, makes Git check if converting `CRLF` is reversible when
|
|
end-of-line conversion is active. Git will verify if a command
|
|
modifies a file in the work tree either directly or indirectly.
|
|
For example, committing a file followed by checking out the
|
|
same file should yield the original file in the work tree. If
|
|
this is not the case for the current setting of
|
|
`core.autocrlf`, Git will reject the file. The variable can
|
|
be set to "warn", in which case Git will only warn about an
|
|
irreversible conversion but continue the operation.
|
|
+
|
|
CRLF conversion bears a slight chance of corrupting data.
|
|
When it is enabled, Git will convert CRLF to LF during commit and LF to
|
|
CRLF during checkout. A file that contains a mixture of LF and
|
|
CRLF before the commit cannot be recreated by Git. For text
|
|
files this is the right thing to do: it corrects line endings
|
|
such that we have only LF line endings in the repository.
|
|
But for binary files that are accidentally classified as text the
|
|
conversion can corrupt data.
|
|
+
|
|
If you recognize such corruption early you can easily fix it by
|
|
setting the conversion type explicitly in .gitattributes. Right
|
|
after committing you still have the original file in your work
|
|
tree and this file is not yet corrupted. You can explicitly tell
|
|
Git that this file is binary and Git will handle the file
|
|
appropriately.
|
|
+
|
|
Unfortunately, the desired effect of cleaning up text files with
|
|
mixed line endings and the undesired effect of corrupting binary
|
|
files cannot be distinguished. In both cases CRLFs are removed
|
|
in an irreversible way. For text files this is the right thing
|
|
to do because CRLFs are line endings, while for binary files
|
|
converting CRLFs corrupts data.
|
|
+
|
|
Note, this safety check does not mean that a checkout will generate a
|
|
file identical to the original file for a different setting of
|
|
`core.eol` and `core.autocrlf`, but only for the current one. For
|
|
example, a text file with `LF` would be accepted with `core.eol=lf`
|
|
and could later be checked out with `core.eol=crlf`, in which case the
|
|
resulting file would contain `CRLF`, although the original file
|
|
contained `LF`. However, in both work trees the line endings would be
|
|
consistent, that is either all `LF` or all `CRLF`, but never mixed. A
|
|
file with mixed line endings would be reported by the `core.safecrlf`
|
|
mechanism.
|
|
|
|
core.autocrlf::
|
|
Setting this variable to "true" is almost the same as setting
|
|
the `text` attribute to "auto" on all files except that text
|
|
files are not guaranteed to be normalized: files that contain
|
|
`CRLF` in the repository will not be touched. Use this
|
|
setting if you want to have `CRLF` line endings in your
|
|
working directory even though the repository does not have
|
|
normalized line endings. This variable can be set to 'input',
|
|
in which case no output conversion is performed.
|
|
|
|
core.symlinks::
|
|
If false, symbolic links are checked out as small plain files that
|
|
contain the link text. linkgit:git-update-index[1] and
|
|
linkgit:git-add[1] will not change the recorded type to regular
|
|
file. Useful on filesystems like FAT that do not support
|
|
symbolic links.
|
|
+
|
|
The default is true, except linkgit:git-clone[1] or linkgit:git-init[1]
|
|
will probe and set core.symlinks false if appropriate when the repository
|
|
is created.
|
|
|
|
core.gitProxy::
|
|
A "proxy command" to execute (as 'command host port') instead
|
|
of establishing direct connection to the remote server when
|
|
using the Git protocol for fetching. If the variable value is
|
|
in the "COMMAND for DOMAIN" format, the command is applied only
|
|
on hostnames ending with the specified domain string. This variable
|
|
may be set multiple times and is matched in the given order;
|
|
the first match wins.
|
|
+
|
|
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_PROXY_COMMAND' environment variable
|
|
(which always applies universally, without the special "for"
|
|
handling).
|
|
+
|
|
The special string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
|
|
specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
|
|
This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
|
|
proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
|
|
|
|
core.ignoreStat::
|
|
If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
|
|
changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
|
|
which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
|
|
+
|
|
When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
|
|
the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
|
|
linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
|
|
Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
|
|
+
|
|
This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
|
|
CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
|
|
+
|
|
False by default.
|
|
|
|
core.preferSymlinkRefs::
|
|
Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD
|
|
and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links.
|
|
This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that
|
|
expect HEAD to be a symbolic link.
|
|
|
|
core.bare::
|
|
If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
|
|
working directory associated with it. If this is the case a
|
|
number of commands that require a working directory will be
|
|
disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
|
|
+
|
|
This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
|
|
linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created. By default a
|
|
repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
|
|
false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
|
|
= true).
|
|
|
|
core.worktree::
|
|
Set the path to the root of the working tree.
|
|
If GIT_COMMON_DIR environment variable is set, core.worktree
|
|
is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
|
|
This can be overridden by the GIT_WORK_TREE environment
|
|
variable and the '--work-tree' command-line option.
|
|
The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
|
|
the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
|
|
or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
|
|
If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
|
|
--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
|
|
the current working directory is regarded as the top level
|
|
of your working tree.
|
|
+
|
|
Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
|
|
file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
|
|
from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
|
|
core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
|
|
misconfiguration. Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
|
|
still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
|
|
confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
|
|
read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
|
|
repository's usual working tree).
|
|
|
|
core.logAllRefUpdates::
|
|
Enable the reflog. Updates to a ref <ref> is logged to the file
|
|
"$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>", by appending the new and old
|
|
SHA-1, the date/time and the reason of the update, but
|
|
only when the file exists. If this configuration
|
|
variable is set to true, missing "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>"
|
|
file is automatically created for branch heads (i.e. under
|
|
refs/heads/), remote refs (i.e. under refs/remotes/),
|
|
note refs (i.e. under refs/notes/), and the symbolic ref HEAD.
|
|
+
|
|
This information can be used to determine what commit
|
|
was the tip of a branch "2 days ago".
|
|
+
|
|
This value is true by default in a repository that has
|
|
a working directory associated with it, and false by
|
|
default in a bare repository.
|
|
|
|
core.repositoryFormatVersion::
|
|
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
core.sharedRepository::
|
|
When 'group' (or 'true'), the repository is made shareable between
|
|
several users in a group (making sure all the files and objects are
|
|
group-writable). When 'all' (or 'world' or 'everybody'), the
|
|
repository will be readable by all users, additionally to being
|
|
group-shareable. When 'umask' (or 'false'), Git will use permissions
|
|
reported by umask(2). When '0xxx', where '0xxx' is an octal number,
|
|
files in the repository will have this mode value. '0xxx' will override
|
|
user's umask value (whereas the other options will only override
|
|
requested parts of the user's umask value). Examples: '0660' will make
|
|
the repo read/write-able for the owner and group, but inaccessible to
|
|
others (equivalent to 'group' unless umask is e.g. '0022'). '0640' is a
|
|
repository that is group-readable but not group-writable.
|
|
See linkgit:git-init[1]. False by default.
|
|
|
|
core.warnAmbiguousRefs::
|
|
If true, Git will warn you if the ref name you passed it is ambiguous
|
|
and might match multiple refs in the repository. 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.
|
|
If set, this provides a default to other compression variables,
|
|
such as 'core.looseCompression' and 'pack.compression'.
|
|
|
|
core.looseCompression::
|
|
An integer -1..9, indicating the compression level for objects that
|
|
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
|
|
slowest. If not set, defaults to core.compression. If that is
|
|
not set, defaults to 1 (best speed).
|
|
|
|
core.packedGitWindowSize::
|
|
Number of bytes of a pack file to map into memory in a
|
|
single mapping operation. Larger window sizes may allow
|
|
your system to process a smaller number of large pack files
|
|
more quickly. Smaller window sizes will negatively affect
|
|
performance due to increased calls to the operating system's
|
|
memory manager, but may improve performance when accessing
|
|
a large number of large pack files.
|
|
+
|
|
Default is 1 MiB if NO_MMAP was set at compile time, otherwise 32
|
|
MiB on 32 bit platforms and 1 GiB on 64 bit platforms. This should
|
|
be reasonable for all users/operating systems. You probably do
|
|
not need to adjust this value.
|
|
+
|
|
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
|
|
|
|
core.packedGitLimit::
|
|
Maximum number of bytes to map simultaneously into memory
|
|
from pack files. If Git needs to access more than this many
|
|
bytes at once to complete an operation it will unmap existing
|
|
regions to reclaim virtual address space within the process.
|
|
+
|
|
Default is 256 MiB on 32 bit platforms and 8 GiB on 64 bit 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.
|
|
|
|
core.deltaBaseCacheLimit::
|
|
Maximum number of bytes to reserve for caching base objects
|
|
that may be referenced by multiple deltified objects. 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 96 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.
|
|
|
|
core.bigFileThreshold::
|
|
Files larger than this size are stored deflated, without
|
|
attempting delta compression. Storing large files without
|
|
delta compression avoids excessive memory usage, at the
|
|
slight expense of increased disk usage. Additionally files
|
|
larger than this size are always treated as binary.
|
|
+
|
|
Default is 512 MiB on all platforms. This should be reasonable
|
|
for most projects as source code and other text files can still
|
|
be delta compressed, but larger binary media files won't be.
|
|
+
|
|
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are supported.
|
|
|
|
core.excludesFile::
|
|
In addition to '.gitignore' (per-directory) and
|
|
'.git/info/exclude', Git looks into this file for patterns
|
|
of files which are not meant to be tracked. "`~/`" is expanded
|
|
to the value of `$HOME` and "`~user/`" to the specified user's
|
|
home directory. Its default value is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore.
|
|
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/ignore
|
|
is used instead. See linkgit:gitignore[5].
|
|
|
|
core.askPass::
|
|
Some commands (e.g. svn and http interfaces) that interactively
|
|
ask for a password can be told to use an external program given
|
|
via the value of this variable. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_ASKPASS'
|
|
environment variable. If not set, fall back to the value of the
|
|
'SSH_ASKPASS' environment variable or, failing that, a simple password
|
|
prompt. The external program shall be given a suitable prompt as
|
|
command-line argument and write the password on its STDOUT.
|
|
|
|
core.attributesFile::
|
|
In addition to '.gitattributes' (per-directory) and
|
|
'.git/info/attributes', Git looks into this file for attributes
|
|
(see linkgit:gitattributes[5]). Path expansions are made the same
|
|
way as for `core.excludesFile`. Its default value is
|
|
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not
|
|
set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/attributes is used instead.
|
|
|
|
core.editor::
|
|
Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that lets you edit
|
|
messages by launching an editor uses the value of this
|
|
variable when it is set, and the environment variable
|
|
`GIT_EDITOR` is not set. See linkgit:git-var[1].
|
|
|
|
core.commentChar::
|
|
Commands such as `commit` and `tag` that lets you edit
|
|
messages consider a line that begins with this character
|
|
commented, and removes them after the editor returns
|
|
(default '#').
|
|
+
|
|
If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not
|
|
the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages.
|
|
|
|
core.packedRefsTimeout::
|
|
The length of time, in milliseconds, to retry when trying to
|
|
lock the `packed-refs` file. Value 0 means not to retry at
|
|
all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e.,
|
|
retry for 1 second).
|
|
|
|
sequence.editor::
|
|
Text editor used by `git rebase -i` for editing the rebase instruction file.
|
|
The value is meant to be interpreted by the shell when it is used.
|
|
It can be overridden by the `GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR` environment variable.
|
|
When not configured the default commit message editor is used instead.
|
|
|
|
core.pager::
|
|
Text viewer for use by Git commands (e.g., 'less'). The value
|
|
is meant to be interpreted by the shell. The order of preference
|
|
is the `$GIT_PAGER` environment variable, then `core.pager`
|
|
configuration, then `$PAGER`, and then the default chosen at
|
|
compile time (usually 'less').
|
|
+
|
|
When the `LESS` environment variable is unset, Git sets it to `FRX`
|
|
(if `LESS` environment variable is set, Git does not change it at
|
|
all). If you want to selectively override Git's default setting
|
|
for `LESS`, you can set `core.pager` to e.g. `less -S`. This will
|
|
be passed to the shell by Git, which will translate the final
|
|
command to `LESS=FRX less -S`. The environment does not set the
|
|
`S` option but the command line does, instructing less to truncate
|
|
long lines. Similarly, setting `core.pager` to `less -+F` will
|
|
deactivate the `F` option specified by the environment from the
|
|
command-line, deactivating the "quit if one screen" behavior of
|
|
`less`. One can specifically activate some flags for particular
|
|
commands: for example, setting `pager.blame` to `less -S` enables
|
|
line truncation only for `git blame`.
|
|
+
|
|
Likewise, when the `LV` environment variable is unset, Git sets it
|
|
to `-c`. You can override this setting by exporting `LV` with
|
|
another value or setting `core.pager` to `lv +c`.
|
|
|
|
core.whitespace::
|
|
A comma separated list of common whitespace problems to
|
|
notice. 'git diff' will use `color.diff.whitespace` to
|
|
highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
|
|
consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
|
|
any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
|
|
+
|
|
* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
|
|
as an error (enabled by default).
|
|
* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
|
|
before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
|
|
error (enabled by default).
|
|
* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
|
|
characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
|
|
default).
|
|
* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
|
|
the line as an error (not enabled by default).
|
|
* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
|
|
(enabled by default).
|
|
* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
|
|
`blank-at-eof`.
|
|
* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
|
|
part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
|
|
does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
|
|
is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
|
|
* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
|
|
is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
|
|
errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
|
|
|
|
core.fsyncObjectFiles::
|
|
This boolean will enable 'fsync()' when writing object files.
|
|
+
|
|
This is a total waste of time and effort on a filesystem that orders
|
|
data writes properly, but can be useful for filesystems that do not use
|
|
journalling (traditional UNIX filesystems) or that only journal metadata
|
|
and not file contents (OS X's HFS+, or Linux ext3 with "data=writeback").
|
|
|
|
core.preloadIndex::
|
|
Enable parallel index preload for operations like 'git diff'
|
|
+
|
|
This can speed up operations like 'git diff' and 'git status' especially
|
|
on filesystems like NFS that have weak caching semantics and thus
|
|
relatively high IO latencies. When enabled, Git will do the
|
|
index comparison to the filesystem data in parallel, allowing
|
|
overlapping IO's. Defaults to true.
|
|
|
|
core.createObject::
|
|
You can set this to 'link', in which case a hardlink followed by
|
|
a delete of the source are used to make sure that object creation
|
|
will not overwrite existing objects.
|
|
+
|
|
On some file system/operating system combinations, this is unreliable.
|
|
Set this config setting to 'rename' there; However, This will remove the
|
|
check that makes sure that existing object files will not get overwritten.
|
|
|
|
core.notesRef::
|
|
When showing commit messages, also show notes which are stored in
|
|
the given ref. The ref must be fully qualified. If the given
|
|
ref does not exist, it is not an error but means that no
|
|
notes should be printed.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting defaults to "refs/notes/commits", and it can be overridden by
|
|
the 'GIT_NOTES_REF' environment variable. See linkgit:git-notes[1].
|
|
|
|
core.sparseCheckout::
|
|
Enable "sparse checkout" feature. See section "Sparse checkout" in
|
|
linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information.
|
|
|
|
core.abbrev::
|
|
Set the length object names are abbreviated to. If unspecified,
|
|
many commands abbreviate to 7 hexdigits, which may not be enough
|
|
for abbreviated object names to stay unique for sufficiently long
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
add.ignoreErrors::
|
|
add.ignore-errors (deprecated)::
|
|
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]. `add.ignore-errors` is deprecated,
|
|
as it does not follow the usual naming convention for configuration
|
|
variables.
|
|
|
|
alias.*::
|
|
Command aliases for the linkgit:git[1] command wrapper - e.g.
|
|
after defining "alias.last = cat-file commit HEAD", the invocation
|
|
"git last" is equivalent to "git cat-file commit HEAD". To avoid
|
|
confusion and troubles with script usage, aliases that
|
|
hide existing Git commands are ignored. Arguments are split by
|
|
spaces, the usual shell quoting and escaping is supported.
|
|
A quote pair or a backslash can be used to quote them.
|
|
+
|
|
If the alias expansion is prefixed with an exclamation point,
|
|
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". Note that shell commands will be
|
|
executed from the top-level directory of a repository, which may
|
|
not necessarily be the current directory.
|
|
'GIT_PREFIX' is set as returned by running 'git rev-parse --show-prefix'
|
|
from the original current directory. See linkgit:git-rev-parse[1].
|
|
|
|
am.keepcr::
|
|
If true, git-am will call git-mailsplit for patches in mbox format
|
|
with parameter '--keep-cr'. In this case git-mailsplit will
|
|
not remove `\r` from lines ending with `\r\n`. Can be overridden
|
|
by giving '--no-keep-cr' from the command line.
|
|
See linkgit:git-am[1], linkgit:git-mailsplit[1].
|
|
|
|
am.threeWay::
|
|
By default, `git am` will fail if the patch does not apply cleanly. When
|
|
set to true, this setting tells `git am` to fall back on 3-way merge if
|
|
the patch records the identity of blobs it is supposed to apply to and
|
|
we have those blobs available locally (equivalent to giving the `--3way`
|
|
option from the command line). Defaults to `false`.
|
|
See linkgit:git-am[1].
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
as the '--whitespace' option. See linkgit:git-apply[1].
|
|
|
|
branch.autoSetupMerge::
|
|
Tells 'git branch' and 'git checkout' to set up new branches
|
|
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. The valid settings are: `false` -- no
|
|
automatic setup is done; `true` -- automatic setup is done when the
|
|
starting point is a remote-tracking branch; `always` --
|
|
automatic setup is done when the starting point is either a
|
|
local branch or remote-tracking
|
|
branch. This option defaults to true.
|
|
|
|
branch.autoSetupRebase::
|
|
When a new branch is created with 'git branch' or 'git checkout'
|
|
that tracks another branch, this variable tells Git to set
|
|
up pull to rebase instead of merge (see "branch.<name>.rebase").
|
|
When `never`, rebase is never automatically set to true.
|
|
When `local`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
|
|
other local branches.
|
|
When `remote`, rebase is set to true for tracked branches of
|
|
remote-tracking branches.
|
|
When `always`, rebase will be set to true for all tracking
|
|
branches.
|
|
See "branch.autoSetupMerge" for details on how to set up a
|
|
branch to track another branch.
|
|
This option defaults to never.
|
|
|
|
branch.<name>.remote::
|
|
When on branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' and 'git push'
|
|
which remote to fetch from/push to. The remote to push to
|
|
may be overridden with `remote.pushDefault` (for all branches).
|
|
The remote to push to, for the current branch, may be further
|
|
overridden by `branch.<name>.pushRemote`. If no remote is
|
|
configured, or if you are not on any branch, it defaults to
|
|
`origin` for fetching and `remote.pushDefault` for pushing.
|
|
Additionally, `.` (a period) is the current local repository
|
|
(a dot-repository), see `branch.<name>.merge`'s final note below.
|
|
|
|
branch.<name>.pushRemote::
|
|
When on branch <name>, it overrides `branch.<name>.remote` for
|
|
pushing. It also overrides `remote.pushDefault` for pushing
|
|
from branch <name>. When you pull from one place (e.g. your
|
|
upstream) and push to another place (e.g. your own publishing
|
|
repository), you would want to set `remote.pushDefault` to
|
|
specify the remote to push to for all branches, and use this
|
|
option to override it for a specific branch.
|
|
|
|
branch.<name>.merge::
|
|
Defines, together with branch.<name>.remote, the upstream branch
|
|
for the given branch. It tells 'git fetch'/'git pull'/'git rebase' which
|
|
branch to merge and can also affect 'git push' (see push.default).
|
|
When in branch <name>, it tells 'git fetch' the default
|
|
refspec to be marked for merging in FETCH_HEAD. The value is
|
|
handled like the remote part of a refspec, and must match a
|
|
ref which is fetched from the remote given by
|
|
"branch.<name>.remote".
|
|
The merge information is used by 'git pull' (which at first calls
|
|
'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 relative path
|
|
setting `.` (a period) for branch.<name>.remote.
|
|
|
|
branch.<name>.mergeOptions::
|
|
Sets default options for merging into branch <name>. The syntax and
|
|
supported options are the same as those of linkgit:git-merge[1], but
|
|
option values containing whitespace characters are currently not
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
branch.<name>.rebase::
|
|
When true, rebase the branch <name> on top of the fetched branch,
|
|
instead of merging the default branch from the default remote when
|
|
"git pull" is run. See "pull.rebase" for doing this in a non
|
|
branch-specific manner.
|
|
+
|
|
When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
|
|
so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
|
|
by running 'git pull'.
|
|
+
|
|
*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
|
|
it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
|
|
for details).
|
|
|
|
branch.<name>.description::
|
|
Branch description, can be edited with
|
|
`git branch --edit-description`. Branch description is
|
|
automatically added in the format-patch cover letter or
|
|
request-pull summary.
|
|
|
|
browser.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
Specify the command to invoke the specified browser. The
|
|
specified command is evaluated in shell with the URLs passed
|
|
as arguments. (See linkgit:git-web{litdd}browse[1].)
|
|
|
|
browser.<tool>.path::
|
|
Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
|
|
browse HTML help (see '-w' option in linkgit:git-help[1]) or a
|
|
working repository in gitweb (see linkgit:git-instaweb[1]).
|
|
|
|
clean.requireForce::
|
|
A boolean to make git-clean do nothing unless given -f,
|
|
-i or -n. Defaults to true.
|
|
|
|
color.branch::
|
|
A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of
|
|
linkgit:git-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.branch.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of
|
|
`current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch),
|
|
`remote` (a remote-tracking branch in refs/remotes/),
|
|
`upstream` (upstream tracking branch), `plain` (other
|
|
refs).
|
|
|
|
color.diff::
|
|
Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
|
|
If this is set to `always`, linkgit:git-diff[1],
|
|
linkgit:git-log[1], and linkgit:git-show[1] will use color
|
|
for all patches. If it is set to `true` or `auto`, those
|
|
commands will only use color when output is to the terminal.
|
|
Defaults to false.
|
|
+
|
|
This does not affect linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or the
|
|
'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands. Can be overridden on the
|
|
command line with the `--color[=<when>]` option.
|
|
|
|
color.diff.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>` specifies
|
|
which part of the patch to use the specified color, and is one
|
|
of `context` (context text - `plain` is a historical synonym),
|
|
`meta` (metainformation), `frag`
|
|
(hunk header), 'func' (function in hunk header), `old` (removed lines),
|
|
`new` (added lines), `commit` (commit headers), or `whitespace`
|
|
(highlighting whitespace errors).
|
|
|
|
color.decorate.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for 'git log --decorate' output. `<slot>` is one
|
|
of `branch`, `remoteBranch`, `tag`, `stash` or `HEAD` for local
|
|
branches, remote-tracking branches, tags, stash and HEAD, respectively.
|
|
|
|
color.grep::
|
|
When set to `always`, always highlight matches. When `false` (or
|
|
`never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only
|
|
when the output is written to the terminal. Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
color.grep.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for grep colorization. `<slot>` specifies which
|
|
part of the line to use the specified color, and is one of
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
`context`;;
|
|
non-matching text in context lines (when using `-A`, `-B`, or `-C`)
|
|
`filename`;;
|
|
filename prefix (when not using `-h`)
|
|
`function`;;
|
|
function name lines (when using `-p`)
|
|
`linenumber`;;
|
|
line number prefix (when using `-n`)
|
|
`match`;;
|
|
matching text (same as setting `matchContext` and `matchSelected`)
|
|
`matchContext`;;
|
|
matching text in context lines
|
|
`matchSelected`;;
|
|
matching text in selected lines
|
|
`selected`;;
|
|
non-matching text in selected lines
|
|
`separator`;;
|
|
separators between fields on a line (`:`, `-`, and `=`)
|
|
and between hunks (`--`)
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
color.interactive::
|
|
When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts
|
|
and displays (such as those used by "git-add --interactive" and
|
|
"git-clean --interactive"). When false (or `never`), never.
|
|
When set to `true` or `auto`, use colors only when the output is
|
|
to the terminal. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
color.interactive.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for 'git add --interactive' and 'git clean
|
|
--interactive' output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help`
|
|
or `error`, for four distinct types of normal output from
|
|
interactive commands.
|
|
|
|
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`,
|
|
`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.<slot>::
|
|
Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is
|
|
one of `header` (the header text of the status message),
|
|
`added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed),
|
|
`changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index),
|
|
`untracked` (files which are not tracked by Git),
|
|
`branch` (the current branch),
|
|
`nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting
|
|
to red), or
|
|
`unmerged` (files which have unmerged changes).
|
|
|
|
color.ui::
|
|
This variable determines the default value for variables such
|
|
as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color
|
|
per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn
|
|
configuration to set a default for the `--color` option. Set it
|
|
to `false` or `never` if you prefer Git commands not to use
|
|
color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration
|
|
or the `--color` option. Set it to `always` if you want all
|
|
output not intended for machine consumption to use color, to
|
|
`true` or `auto` (this is the default since Git 1.8.4) if you
|
|
want such output to use color when written to the terminal.
|
|
|
|
column.ui::
|
|
Specify whether supported commands should output in columns.
|
|
This variable consists of a list of tokens separated by spaces
|
|
or commas:
|
|
+
|
|
These options control when the feature should be enabled
|
|
(defaults to 'never'):
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
`always`;;
|
|
always show in columns
|
|
`never`;;
|
|
never show in columns
|
|
`auto`;;
|
|
show in columns if the output is to the terminal
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
These options control layout (defaults to 'column'). Setting any
|
|
of these implies 'always' if none of 'always', 'never', or 'auto' are
|
|
specified.
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
`column`;;
|
|
fill columns before rows
|
|
`row`;;
|
|
fill rows before columns
|
|
`plain`;;
|
|
show in one column
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
Finally, these options can be combined with a layout option (defaults
|
|
to 'nodense'):
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
`dense`;;
|
|
make unequal size columns to utilize more space
|
|
`nodense`;;
|
|
make equal size columns
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
column.branch::
|
|
Specify whether to output branch listing in `git branch` in columns.
|
|
See `column.ui` for details.
|
|
|
|
column.clean::
|
|
Specify the layout when list items in `git clean -i`, which always
|
|
shows files and directories in columns. See `column.ui` for details.
|
|
|
|
column.status::
|
|
Specify whether to output untracked files in `git status` in columns.
|
|
See `column.ui` for details.
|
|
|
|
column.tag::
|
|
Specify whether to output tag listing in `git tag` in columns.
|
|
See `column.ui` for details.
|
|
|
|
commit.cleanup::
|
|
This setting overrides the default of the `--cleanup` option in
|
|
`git commit`. See linkgit:git-commit[1] for details. Changing the
|
|
default can be useful when you always want to keep lines that begin
|
|
with comment character `#` in your log message, in which case you
|
|
would do `git config commit.cleanup whitespace` (note that you will
|
|
have to remove the help lines that begin with `#` in the commit log
|
|
template yourself, if you do this).
|
|
|
|
commit.gpgSign::
|
|
|
|
A boolean to specify whether all commits should be GPG signed.
|
|
Use of this option when doing operations such as rebase can
|
|
result in a large number of commits being signed. It may be
|
|
convenient to use an agent to avoid typing your GPG passphrase
|
|
several times.
|
|
|
|
commit.status::
|
|
A boolean to enable/disable inclusion of status information in the
|
|
commit message template when using an editor to prepare the commit
|
|
message. Defaults to true.
|
|
|
|
commit.template::
|
|
Specify a file to use as the template for new commit messages.
|
|
"`~/`" is expanded to the value of `$HOME` and "`~user/`" to the
|
|
specified user's home directory.
|
|
|
|
credential.helper::
|
|
Specify an external helper to be called when a username or
|
|
password credential is needed; the helper may consult external
|
|
storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. See
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details.
|
|
|
|
credential.useHttpPath::
|
|
When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http
|
|
or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information.
|
|
|
|
credential.username::
|
|
If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username
|
|
by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and
|
|
linkgit:gitcredentials[7].
|
|
|
|
credential.<url>.*::
|
|
Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to
|
|
some credentials. For example "credential.https://example.com.username"
|
|
would set the default username only for https connections to
|
|
example.com. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details on how URLs are
|
|
matched.
|
|
|
|
include::diff-config.txt[]
|
|
|
|
difftool.<tool>.path::
|
|
Override the path for the given tool. This is useful in case
|
|
your tool is not in the PATH.
|
|
|
|
difftool.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
Specify the command to invoke the specified diff tool.
|
|
The specified command is evaluated in shell with the following
|
|
variables available: 'LOCAL' is set to the name of the temporary
|
|
file containing the contents of the diff pre-image and 'REMOTE'
|
|
is set to the name of the temporary file containing the contents
|
|
of the diff post-image.
|
|
|
|
difftool.prompt::
|
|
Prompt before each invocation of the diff tool.
|
|
|
|
fetch.recurseSubmodules::
|
|
This option can be either set to a boolean value or to 'on-demand'.
|
|
Setting it to a boolean changes the behavior of fetch and pull to
|
|
unconditionally recurse into submodules when set to true or to not
|
|
recurse at all when set to false. When set to 'on-demand' (the default
|
|
value), fetch and pull will only recurse into a populated submodule
|
|
when its superproject retrieves a commit that updates the submodule's
|
|
reference.
|
|
|
|
fetch.fsckObjects::
|
|
If it is set to true, git-fetch-pack will check all fetched
|
|
objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
|
|
broken link. The result of an abort are only dangling objects.
|
|
Defaults to false. If not set, the value of `transfer.fsckObjects`
|
|
is used instead.
|
|
|
|
fetch.unpackLimit::
|
|
If the number of objects fetched over the Git native
|
|
transfer is below this
|
|
limit, then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
|
|
files. However if the number of received objects equals or
|
|
exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
|
|
a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
|
|
pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
|
|
especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
|
|
`transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
|
|
|
|
fetch.prune::
|
|
If true, fetch will automatically behave as if the `--prune`
|
|
option was given on the command line. See also `remote.<name>.prune`.
|
|
|
|
format.attach::
|
|
Enable multipart/mixed attachments as the default for
|
|
'format-patch'. The value can also be a double quoted string
|
|
which will enable attachments as the default and set the
|
|
value as the boundary. See the --attach option in
|
|
linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.numbered::
|
|
A boolean which can enable or disable sequence numbers in patch
|
|
subjects. It defaults to "auto" which enables it only if there
|
|
is more than one patch. It can be enabled or disabled for all
|
|
messages by setting it to "true" or "false". See --numbered
|
|
option in linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.headers::
|
|
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted
|
|
by mail. See linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.to::
|
|
format.cc::
|
|
Additional recipients to include in a patch to be submitted
|
|
by mail. See the --to and --cc options in
|
|
linkgit:git-format-patch[1].
|
|
|
|
format.subjectPrefix::
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output files with the '[PATCH]'
|
|
subject prefix. Use this variable to change that prefix.
|
|
|
|
format.signature::
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output a signature containing
|
|
the Git version number. Use this variable to change that default.
|
|
Set this variable to the empty string ("") to suppress
|
|
signature generation.
|
|
|
|
format.signatureFile::
|
|
Works just like format.signature except the contents of the
|
|
file specified by this variable will be used as the signature.
|
|
|
|
format.suffix::
|
|
The default for format-patch is to output files with the suffix
|
|
`.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].
|
|
|
|
format.thread::
|
|
The default threading style for 'git format-patch'. Can be
|
|
a boolean value, or `shallow` or `deep`. `shallow` threading
|
|
makes every mail a reply to the head of the series,
|
|
where the head is chosen from the cover letter, the
|
|
`--in-reply-to`, and the first patch mail, in this order.
|
|
`deep` threading makes every mail a reply to the previous one.
|
|
A true boolean value is the same as `shallow`, and a false
|
|
value disables threading.
|
|
|
|
format.signOff::
|
|
A boolean value which lets you enable the `-s/--signoff` option of
|
|
format-patch by default. *Note:* Adding the Signed-off-by: line to a
|
|
patch should be a conscious act and means that you certify you have
|
|
the rights to submit this work under the same open source license.
|
|
Please see the 'SubmittingPatches' document for further discussion.
|
|
|
|
format.coverLetter::
|
|
A boolean that controls whether to generate a cover-letter when
|
|
format-patch is invoked, but in addition can be set to "auto", to
|
|
generate a cover-letter only when there's more than one patch.
|
|
|
|
filter.<driver>.clean::
|
|
The command which is used to convert the content of a worktree
|
|
file to a blob upon checkin. See linkgit:gitattributes[5] for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
filter.<driver>.smudge::
|
|
The command which is used to convert the content of a blob
|
|
object to a worktree file upon checkout. See
|
|
linkgit:gitattributes[5] for details.
|
|
|
|
gc.aggressiveDepth::
|
|
The depth parameter used in the delta compression
|
|
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
|
|
to 250.
|
|
|
|
gc.aggressiveWindow::
|
|
The window size parameter used in the delta compression
|
|
algorithm used by 'git gc --aggressive'. This defaults
|
|
to 250.
|
|
|
|
gc.auto::
|
|
When there are approximately more than this many loose
|
|
objects in the repository, `git gc --auto` will pack them.
|
|
Some Porcelain commands use this command to perform a
|
|
light-weight garbage collection from time to time. The
|
|
default value is 6700. Setting this to 0 disables it.
|
|
|
|
gc.autoPackLimit::
|
|
When there are more than this many packs that are not
|
|
marked with `*.keep` file in the repository, `git gc
|
|
--auto` consolidates them into one larger pack. The
|
|
default value is 50. Setting this to 0 disables it.
|
|
|
|
gc.autoDetach::
|
|
Make `git gc --auto` return immediately and run in background
|
|
if the system supports it. Default is true.
|
|
|
|
gc.packRefs::
|
|
Running `git pack-refs` in a repository renders it
|
|
unclonable by Git versions prior to 1.5.1.2 over dumb
|
|
transports such as HTTP. This variable determines whether
|
|
'git gc' runs `git pack-refs`. This can be set to `notbare`
|
|
to enable it within all non-bare repos or it can be set to a
|
|
boolean value. The default is `true`.
|
|
|
|
gc.pruneExpire::
|
|
When 'git gc' is run, it will call 'prune --expire 2.weeks.ago'.
|
|
Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
|
|
"now" may be used to disable this grace period and always prune
|
|
unreachable objects immediately.
|
|
|
|
gc.pruneWorktreesExpire::
|
|
When 'git gc' is run, it will call
|
|
'prune --worktrees --expire 3.months.ago'.
|
|
Override the grace period with this config variable. The value
|
|
"now" may be used to disable the grace period and prune
|
|
$GIT_DIR/worktrees immediately.
|
|
|
|
gc.reflogExpire::
|
|
gc.<pattern>.reflogExpire::
|
|
'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
|
|
this time; defaults to 90 days. With "<pattern>" (e.g.
|
|
"refs/stash") in the middle the setting applies only to
|
|
the refs that match the <pattern>.
|
|
|
|
gc.reflogExpireUnreachable::
|
|
gc.<ref>.reflogExpireUnreachable::
|
|
'git reflog expire' removes reflog entries older than
|
|
this time and are not reachable from the current tip;
|
|
defaults to 30 days. With "<pattern>" (e.g. "refs/stash")
|
|
in the middle, the setting applies only to the refs that
|
|
match the <pattern>.
|
|
|
|
gc.rerereResolved::
|
|
Records of conflicted merge you resolved earlier are
|
|
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
|
|
The default is 60 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
|
|
|
|
gc.rerereUnresolved::
|
|
Records of conflicted merge you have not resolved are
|
|
kept for this many days when 'git rerere gc' is run.
|
|
The default is 15 days. See linkgit:git-rerere[1].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.commitMsgAnnotation::
|
|
Append this string to each commit message. Set to empty string
|
|
to disable this feature. Defaults to "via git-CVS emulator".
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.enabled::
|
|
Whether the CVS server interface is enabled for this repository.
|
|
See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.logFile::
|
|
Path to a log file where the CVS server interface well... logs
|
|
various stuff. See linkgit:git-cvsserver[1].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.usecrlfattr::
|
|
If true, the server will look up the end-of-line conversion
|
|
attributes for files to determine the '-k' modes to use. If
|
|
the attributes force Git to treat a file as text,
|
|
the '-k' mode will be left blank so CVS clients will
|
|
treat it as text. If they suppress text conversion, the file
|
|
will be set with '-kb' mode, which suppresses any newline munging
|
|
the client might otherwise do. If the attributes do not allow
|
|
the file type to be determined, then 'gitcvs.allBinary' is
|
|
used. See linkgit:gitattributes[5].
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.allBinary::
|
|
This is used if 'gitcvs.usecrlfattr' does not resolve
|
|
the correct '-kb' mode to use. If true, all
|
|
unresolved files are sent to the client in
|
|
mode '-kb'. This causes the client to treat them
|
|
as binary files, which suppresses any newline munging it
|
|
otherwise might do. Alternatively, if it is set to "guess",
|
|
then the contents of the file are examined to decide if
|
|
it is binary, similar to 'core.autocrlf'.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
linkgit: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 linkgit: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
|
|
linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details).
|
|
|
|
gitcvs.dbTableNamePrefix::
|
|
Database table name prefix. Prepended to the names of any
|
|
database tables used, allowing a single database to be used
|
|
for several repositories. Supports variable substitution (see
|
|
linkgit:git-cvsserver[1] for details). Any non-alphabetic
|
|
characters will be replaced with underscores.
|
|
|
|
All gitcvs variables except for 'gitcvs.usecrlfattr' and
|
|
'gitcvs.allBinary' can also be specified as
|
|
'gitcvs.<access_method>.<varname>' (where 'access_method'
|
|
is one of "ext" and "pserver") to make them apply only for the given
|
|
access method.

|
|
|
|
grep.lineNumber::
|
|
If set to true, enable '-n' option by default.
|
|
|
|
grep.patternType::
|
|
Set the default matching behavior. Using a value of 'basic', 'extended',
|
|
'fixed', or 'perl' will enable the '--basic-regexp', '--extended-regexp',
|
|
'--fixed-strings', or '--perl-regexp' option accordingly, while the
|
|
value 'default' will return to the default matching behavior.
|
|
|
|
grep.extendedRegexp::
|
|
If set to true, enable '--extended-regexp' option by default. This
|
|
option is ignored when the 'grep.patternType' option is set to a value
|
|
other than 'default'.
|
|
|
|
gpg.program::
|
|
Use this custom program instead of "gpg" found on $PATH when
|
|
making or verifying a PGP signature. The program must support the
|
|
same command-line interface as GPG, namely, to verify a detached
|
|
signature, "gpg --verify $file - <$signature" is run, and the
|
|
program is expected to signal a good signature by exiting with
|
|
code 0, and to generate an ASCII-armored detached signature, the
|
|
standard input of "gpg -bsau $key" is fed with the contents to be
|
|
signed, and the program is expected to send the result to its
|
|
standard output.
|
|
|
|
gui.commitMsgWidth::
|
|
Defines how wide the commit message window is in the
|
|
linkgit:git-gui[1]. "75" is the default.
|
|
|
|
gui.diffContext::
|
|
Specifies how many context lines should be used in calls to diff
|
|
made by the linkgit:git-gui[1]. The default is "5".
|
|
|
|
gui.displayUntracked::
|
|
Determines if linkgit::git-gui[1] shows untracked files
|
|
in the file list. The default is "true".
|
|
|
|
gui.encoding::
|
|
Specifies the default encoding to use for displaying of
|
|
file contents in linkgit:git-gui[1] and linkgit:gitk[1].
|
|
It can be overridden by setting the 'encoding' attribute
|
|
for relevant files (see linkgit:gitattributes[5]).
|
|
If this option is not set, the tools default to the
|
|
locale encoding.
|
|
|
|
gui.matchTrackingBranch::
|
|
Determines if new branches created with linkgit:git-gui[1] should
|
|
default to tracking remote branches with matching names or
|
|
not. Default: "false".
|
|
|
|
gui.newBranchTemplate::
|
|
Is used as suggested name when creating new branches using the
|
|
linkgit:git-gui[1].
|
|
|
|
gui.pruneDuringFetch::
|
|
"true" if linkgit:git-gui[1] should prune remote-tracking branches when
|
|
performing a fetch. The default value is "false".
|
|
|
|
gui.trustmtime::
|
|
Determines if linkgit:git-gui[1] should trust the file modification
|
|
timestamp or not. By default the timestamps are not trusted.
|
|
|
|
gui.spellingDictionary::
|
|
Specifies the dictionary used for spell checking commit messages in
|
|
the linkgit:git-gui[1]. When set to "none" spell checking is turned
|
|
off.
|
|
|
|
gui.fastCopyBlame::
|
|
If true, 'git gui blame' uses `-C` instead of `-C -C` for original
|
|
location detection. It makes blame significantly faster on huge
|
|
repositories at the expense of less thorough copy detection.
|
|
|
|
gui.copyBlameThreshold::
|
|
Specifies the threshold to use in 'git gui blame' original location
|
|
detection, measured in alphanumeric characters. See the
|
|
linkgit:git-blame[1] manual for more information on copy detection.
|
|
|
|
gui.blamehistoryctx::
|
|
Specifies the radius of history context in days to show in
|
|
linkgit:gitk[1] for the selected commit, when the `Show History
|
|
Context` menu item is invoked from 'git gui blame'. If this
|
|
variable is set to zero, the whole history is shown.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.cmd::
|
|
Specifies the shell command line to execute when the corresponding item
|
|
of the linkgit:git-gui[1] `Tools` menu is invoked. This option is
|
|
mandatory for every tool. The command is executed from the root of
|
|
the working directory, and in the environment it receives the name of
|
|
the tool as 'GIT_GUITOOL', the name of the currently selected file as
|
|
'FILENAME', and the name of the current branch as 'CUR_BRANCH' (if
|
|
the head is detached, 'CUR_BRANCH' is empty).
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.needsFile::
|
|
Run the tool only if a diff is selected in the GUI. It guarantees
|
|
that 'FILENAME' is not empty.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.noConsole::
|
|
Run the command silently, without creating a window to display its
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.noRescan::
|
|
Don't rescan the working directory for changes after the tool
|
|
finishes execution.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.confirm::
|
|
Show a confirmation dialog before actually running the tool.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.argPrompt::
|
|
Request a string argument from the user, and pass it to the tool
|
|
through the 'ARGS' environment variable. Since requesting an
|
|
argument implies confirmation, the 'confirm' option has no effect
|
|
if this is enabled. If the option is set to 'true', 'yes', or '1',
|
|
the dialog uses a built-in generic prompt; otherwise the exact
|
|
value of the variable is used.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.revPrompt::
|
|
Request a single valid revision from the user, and set the
|
|
'REVISION' environment variable. In other aspects this option
|
|
is similar to 'argPrompt', and can be used together with it.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.revUnmerged::
|
|
Show only unmerged branches in the 'revPrompt' subdialog.
|
|
This is useful for tools similar to merge or rebase, but not
|
|
for things like checkout or reset.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.title::
|
|
Specifies the title to use for the prompt dialog. The default
|
|
is the tool name.
|
|
|
|
guitool.<name>.prompt::
|
|
Specifies the general prompt string to display at the top of
|
|
the dialog, before subsections for 'argPrompt' and 'revPrompt'.
|
|
The default value includes the actual command.
|
|
|
|
help.browser::
|
|
Specify the browser that will be used to display help in the
|
|
'web' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
help.format::
|
|
Override the default help format used by linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
help.htmlPath::
|
|
Specify the path where the HTML documentation resides. File system paths
|
|
and URLs are supported. HTML pages will be prefixed with this path when
|
|
help is displayed in the 'web' format. This defaults to the documentation
|
|
path of your Git installation.
|
|
|
|
http.proxy::
|
|
Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
|
|
'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see
|
|
`curl(1)`). This can be overridden on a per-remote basis; see
|
|
remote.<name>.proxy
|
|
|
|
http.cookieFile::
|
|
File containing previously stored cookie lines which should be used
|
|
in the Git http session, if they match the server. The file format
|
|
of the file to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers or
|
|
the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file format (see linkgit:curl[1]).
|
|
NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is only used as
|
|
input unless http.saveCookies is set.
|
|
|
|
http.saveCookies::
|
|
If set, store cookies received during requests to the file specified by
|
|
http.cookieFile. Has no effect if http.cookieFile is unset.
|
|
|
|
http.sslCipherList::
|
|
A list of SSL ciphers to use when negotiating an SSL connection.
|
|
The available ciphers depend on whether libcurl was built against
|
|
NSS or OpenSSL and the particular configuration of the crypto
|
|
library in use. Internally this sets the 'CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST'
|
|
option; see the libcurl documentation for more details on the format
|
|
of this list.
|
|
+
|
|
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST' environment variable.
|
|
To force git to use libcurl's default cipher list and ignore any
|
|
explicit http.sslCipherList option, set 'GIT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST' to the
|
|
empty string.
|
|
|
|
http.sslVerify::
|
|
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
|
|
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
http.sslCert::
|
|
File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing
|
|
over HTTPS. Can be overridden by the 'GIT_SSL_CERT' environment
|
|
variable.
|
|
|
|
http.sslKey::
|
|
File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing
|
|
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
|
|
'GIT_SSL_CAINFO' environment variable.
|
|
|
|
http.sslCAPath::
|
|
Path containing files with the CA certificates to verify the peer
|
|
with when fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overridden
|
|
by the 'GIT_SSL_CAPATH' environment variable.
|
|
|
|
http.sslTry::
|
|
Attempt to use AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers
|
|
when connecting via regular FTP protocol. This might be needed
|
|
if the FTP server requires it for security reasons or you wish
|
|
to connect securely whenever remote FTP server supports it.
|
|
Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification
|
|
errors on misconfigured servers.
|
|
|
|
http.maxRequests::
|
|
How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overridden
|
|
by the 'GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS' environment variable. Default is 5.
|
|
|
|
http.minSessions::
|
|
The number of curl sessions (counted across slots) to be kept across
|
|
requests. They will not be ended with curl_easy_cleanup() until
|
|
http_cleanup() is invoked. If USE_CURL_MULTI is not defined, this
|
|
value will be capped at 1. Defaults to 1.
|
|
|
|
http.postBuffer::
|
|
Maximum size in bytes of the buffer used by smart HTTP
|
|
transports when POSTing data to the remote system.
|
|
For requests larger than this buffer size, HTTP/1.1 and
|
|
Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used to avoid creating a
|
|
massive pack file locally. Default is 1 MiB, which is
|
|
sufficient for most requests.
|
|
|
|
http.lowSpeedLimit, http.lowSpeedTime::
|
|
If the HTTP transfer speed is less than 'http.lowSpeedLimit'
|
|
for longer than 'http.lowSpeedTime' seconds, the transfer is aborted.
|
|
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT' and
|
|
'GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_TIME' environment variables.
|
|
|
|
http.noEPSV::
|
|
A boolean which disables using of EPSV ftp command by curl.
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
http.userAgent::
|
|
The HTTP USER_AGENT string presented to an HTTP server. The default
|
|
value represents the version of the client Git such as git/1.7.1.
|
|
This option allows you to override this value to a more common value
|
|
such as Mozilla/4.0. This may be necessary, for instance, if
|
|
connecting through a firewall that restricts HTTP connections to a set
|
|
of common USER_AGENT strings (but not including those like git/1.7.1).
|
|
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_HTTP_USER_AGENT' environment variable.
|
|
|
|
http.<url>.*::
|
|
Any of the http.* options above can be applied selectively to some URLs.
|
|
For a config key to match a URL, each element of the config key is
|
|
compared to that of the URL, in the following order:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
. Scheme (e.g., `https` in `https://example.com/`). This field
|
|
must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
|
|
|
|
. Host/domain name (e.g., `example.com` in `https://example.com/`).
|
|
This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
|
|
|
|
. Port number (e.g., `8080` in `http://example.com:8080/`).
|
|
This field must match exactly between the config key and the URL.
|
|
Omitted port numbers are automatically converted to the correct
|
|
default for the scheme before matching.
|
|
|
|
. Path (e.g., `repo.git` in `https://example.com/repo.git`). The
|
|
path field of the config key must match the path field of the URL
|
|
either exactly or as a prefix of slash-delimited path elements. This means
|
|
a config key with path `foo/` matches URL path `foo/bar`. A prefix can only
|
|
match on a slash (`/`) boundary. Longer matches take precedence (so a config
|
|
key with path `foo/bar` is a better match to URL path `foo/bar` than a config
|
|
key with just path `foo/`).
|
|
|
|
. User name (e.g., `user` in `https://user@example.com/repo.git`). If
|
|
the config key has a user name it must match the user name in the
|
|
URL exactly. If the config key does not have a user name, that
|
|
config key will match a URL with any user name (including none),
|
|
but at a lower precedence than a config key with a user name.
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
The list above is ordered by decreasing precedence; a URL that matches
|
|
a config key's path is preferred to one that matches its user name. For example,
|
|
if the URL is `https://user@example.com/foo/bar` a config key match of
|
|
`https://example.com/foo` will be preferred over a config key match of
|
|
`https://user@example.com`.
|
|
+
|
|
All URLs are normalized before attempting any matching (the password part,
|
|
if embedded in the URL, is always ignored for matching purposes) so that
|
|
equivalent URLs that are simply spelled differently will match properly.
|
|
Environment variable settings always override any matches. The URLs that are
|
|
matched against are those given directly to Git commands. This means any URLs
|
|
visited as a result of a redirection do not participate in matching.
|
|
|
|
i18n.commitEncoding::
|
|
Character encoding the commit messages are stored in; Git itself
|
|
does not care per se, but this information is necessary e.g. when
|
|
importing commits from emails or in the gitk graphical history
|
|
browser (and possibly at other places in the future or in other
|
|
porcelains). See e.g. linkgit:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'.
|
|
|
|
i18n.logOutputEncoding::
|
|
Character encoding the commit messages are converted to when
|
|
running 'git log' and friends.
|
|
|
|
imap::
|
|
The configuration variables in the 'imap' section are described
|
|
in linkgit:git-imap-send[1].
|
|
|
|
index.version::
|
|
Specify the version with which new index files should be
|
|
initialized. This does not affect existing repositories.
|
|
|
|
init.templateDir::
|
|
Specify the directory from which templates will be copied.
|
|
(See the "TEMPLATE DIRECTORY" section of linkgit:git-init[1].)
|
|
|
|
instaweb.browser::
|
|
Specify the program that will be used to browse your working
|
|
repository in gitweb. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
|
|
|
|
instaweb.httpd::
|
|
The HTTP daemon command-line to start gitweb on your working
|
|
repository. See linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
|
|
|
|
instaweb.local::
|
|
If true the web server started by linkgit:git-instaweb[1] will
|
|
be bound to the local IP (127.0.0.1).
|
|
|
|
instaweb.modulePath::
|
|
The default module path for linkgit:git-instaweb[1] to use
|
|
instead of /usr/lib/apache2/modules. Only used if httpd
|
|
is Apache.
|
|
|
|
instaweb.port::
|
|
The port number to bind the gitweb httpd to. See
|
|
linkgit:git-instaweb[1].
|
|
|
|
interactive.singleKey::
|
|
In interactive commands, allow the user to provide one-letter
|
|
input with a single key (i.e., without hitting enter).
|
|
Currently this is used by the `--patch` mode of
|
|
linkgit:git-add[1], linkgit:git-checkout[1], linkgit:git-commit[1],
|
|
linkgit:git-reset[1], and linkgit:git-stash[1]. Note that this
|
|
setting is silently ignored if portable keystroke input
|
|
is not available; requires the Perl module Term::ReadKey.
|
|
|
|
log.abbrevCommit::
|
|
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
|
|
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--abbrev-commit`. You may
|
|
override this option with `--no-abbrev-commit`.
|
|
|
|
log.date::
|
|
Set the default date-time mode for the 'log' command.
|
|
Setting a value for log.date is similar to using 'git log''s
|
|
`--date` option. Possible values are `relative`, `local`,
|
|
`default`, `iso`, `rfc`, and `short`; see linkgit:git-log[1]
|
|
for details.
|
|
|
|
log.decorate::
|
|
Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown by the log
|
|
command. If 'short' is specified, the ref name prefixes 'refs/heads/',
|
|
'refs/tags/' and 'refs/remotes/' will not be printed. If 'full' is
|
|
specified, the full ref name (including prefix) will be printed.
|
|
This is the same as the log commands '--decorate' option.
|
|
|
|
log.follow::
|
|
If `true`, `git log` will act as if the `--follow` option was used when
|
|
a single <path> is given. This has the same limitations as `--follow`,
|
|
i.e. it cannot be used to follow multiple files and does not work well
|
|
on non-linear history.
|
|
|
|
log.showRoot::
|
|
If true, the initial commit will be shown as a big creation event.
|
|
This is equivalent to a diff against an empty tree.
|
|
Tools like linkgit:git-log[1] or linkgit:git-whatchanged[1], which
|
|
normally hide the root commit will now show it. True by default.
|
|
|
|
log.mailmap::
|
|
If true, makes linkgit:git-log[1], linkgit:git-show[1], and
|
|
linkgit:git-whatchanged[1] assume `--use-mailmap`.
|
|
|
|
mailinfo.scissors::
|
|
If true, makes linkgit:git-mailinfo[1] (and therefore
|
|
linkgit:git-am[1]) act by default as if the --scissors option
|
|
was provided on the command-line. When active, this features
|
|
removes everything from the message body before a scissors
|
|
line (i.e. consisting mainly of ">8", "8<" and "-").
|
|
|
|
mailmap.file::
|
|
The location of an augmenting mailmap file. The default
|
|
mailmap, located in the root of the repository, is loaded
|
|
first, then the mailmap file pointed to by this variable.
|
|
The location of the mailmap file may be in a repository
|
|
subdirectory, or somewhere outside of the repository itself.
|
|
See linkgit:git-shortlog[1] and linkgit:git-blame[1].
|
|
|
|
mailmap.blob::
|
|
Like `mailmap.file`, but consider the value as a reference to a
|
|
blob in the repository. If both `mailmap.file` and
|
|
`mailmap.blob` are given, both are parsed, with entries from
|
|
`mailmap.file` taking precedence. In a bare repository, this
|
|
defaults to `HEAD:.mailmap`. In a non-bare repository, it
|
|
defaults to empty.
|
|
|
|
man.viewer::
|
|
Specify the programs that may be used to display help in the
|
|
'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
man.<tool>.cmd::
|
|
Specify the command to invoke the specified man viewer. The
|
|
specified command is evaluated in shell with the man page
|
|
passed as argument. (See linkgit:git-help[1].)
|
|
|
|
man.<tool>.path::
|
|
Override the path for the given tool that may be used to
|
|
display help in the 'man' format. See linkgit:git-help[1].
|
|
|
|
include::merge-config.txt[]
|
|
|
|
mergetool.<tool>.path::
|
|
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.meld.hasOutput::
|
|
Older versions of `meld` do not support the `--output` option.
|
|
Git will attempt to detect whether `meld` supports `--output`
|
|
by inspecting the output of `meld --help`. Configuring
|
|
`mergetool.meld.hasOutput` will make Git skip these checks and
|
|
use the configured value instead. Setting `mergetool.meld.hasOutput`
|
|
to `true` tells Git to unconditionally use the `--output` option,
|
|
and `false` avoids using `--output`.
|
|
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
mergetool.keepTemporaries::
|
|
When invoking a custom merge tool, Git uses a set of temporary
|
|
files to pass to the tool. If the tool returns an error and this
|
|
variable is set to `true`, then these temporary files will be
|
|
preserved, otherwise they will be removed after the tool has
|
|
exited. Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
mergetool.writeToTemp::
|
|
Git writes temporary 'BASE', 'LOCAL', and 'REMOTE' versions of
|
|
conflicting files in the worktree by default. Git will attempt
|
|
to use a temporary directory for these files when set `true`.
|
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
mergetool.prompt::
|
|
Prompt before each invocation of the merge resolution program.
|
|
|
|
notes.displayRef::
|
|
The (fully qualified) refname from which to show notes when
|
|
showing commit messages. The value of this variable can be set
|
|
to a glob, in which case notes from all matching refs will be
|
|
shown. You may also specify this configuration variable
|
|
several times. A warning will be issued for refs that do not
|
|
exist, but a glob that does not match any refs is silently
|
|
ignored.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_DISPLAY_REF`
|
|
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
|
|
globs.
|
|
+
|
|
The effective value of "core.notesRef" (possibly overridden by
|
|
GIT_NOTES_REF) is also implicitly added to the list of refs to be
|
|
displayed.
|
|
|
|
notes.rewrite.<command>::
|
|
When rewriting commits with <command> (currently `amend` or
|
|
`rebase`) and this variable is set to `true`, Git
|
|
automatically copies your notes from the original to the
|
|
rewritten commit. Defaults to `true`, but see
|
|
"notes.rewriteRef" below.
|
|
|
|
notes.rewriteMode::
|
|
When copying notes during a rewrite (see the
|
|
"notes.rewrite.<command>" option), determines what to do if
|
|
the target commit already has a note. Must be one of
|
|
`overwrite`, `concatenate`, or `ignore`. Defaults to
|
|
`concatenate`.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_MODE`
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
|
|
notes.rewriteRef::
|
|
When copying notes during a rewrite, specifies the (fully
|
|
qualified) ref whose notes should be copied. The ref may be a
|
|
glob, in which case notes in all matching refs will be copied.
|
|
You may also specify this configuration several times.
|
|
+
|
|
Does not have a default value; you must configure this variable to
|
|
enable note rewriting. Set it to `refs/notes/commits` to enable
|
|
rewriting for the default commit notes.
|
|
+
|
|
This setting can be overridden with the `GIT_NOTES_REWRITE_REF`
|
|
environment variable, which must be a colon separated list of refs or
|
|
globs.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
pack.depth::
|
|
The maximum delta depth used by linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] when no
|
|
maximum depth is given on the command line. Defaults to 50.
|
|
|
|
pack.windowMemory::
|
|
The maximum size of memory that is consumed by each thread
|
|
in linkgit:git-pack-objects[1] for pack window memory when
|
|
no limit is given on the command line. The value can be
|
|
suffixed with "k", "m", or "g". When left unconfigured (or
|
|
set explicitly to 0), there will be no limit.
|
|
|
|
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, the zlib default, which is "a default
|
|
compromise between speed and compression (currently equivalent
|
|
to level 6)."
|
|
+
|
|
Note that changing the compression level will not automatically recompress
|
|
all existing objects. You can force recompression by passing the -F option
|
|
to linkgit:git-repack[1].
|
|
|
|
pack.deltaCacheSize::
|
|
The maximum memory in bytes used for caching deltas in
|
|
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]. 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.
|
|
|
|
pack.threads::
|
|
Specifies the number of threads to spawn when searching for best
|
|
delta matches. This requires that linkgit:git-pack-objects[1]
|
|
be compiled with pthreads otherwise this option is ignored with a
|
|
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
|
|
legacy pack index used by Git versions prior to 1.5.2, and 2 for
|
|
the new pack index with capabilities for packs larger than 4 GB
|
|
as well as proper protection against the repacking of corrupted
|
|
packs. Version 2 is the default. Note that version 2 is enforced
|
|
and this config option ignored whenever the corresponding pack is
|
|
larger than 2 GB.
|
|
+
|
|
If you have an old Git that does not understand the version 2 `*.idx` file,
|
|
cloning or fetching over a non native protocol (e.g. "http" and "rsync")
|
|
that will copy both `*.pack` file and corresponding `*.idx` file from the
|
|
other side may give you a repository that cannot be accessed with your
|
|
older version of Git. If the `*.pack` file is smaller than 2 GB, however,
|
|
you can use linkgit:git-index-pack[1] on the *.pack file to regenerate
|
|
the `*.idx` file.
|
|
|
|
pack.packSizeLimit::
|
|
The maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects
|
|
packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol
|
|
is unaffected. It can be overridden by the `--max-pack-size`
|
|
option of linkgit:git-repack[1]. The minimum size allowed is
|
|
limited to 1 MiB. The default is unlimited.
|
|
Common unit suffixes of 'k', 'm', or 'g' are
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
pack.useBitmaps::
|
|
When true, git will use pack bitmaps (if available) when packing
|
|
to stdout (e.g., during the server side of a fetch). Defaults to
|
|
true. You should not generally need to turn this off unless
|
|
you are debugging pack bitmaps.
|
|
|
|
pack.writeBitmaps (deprecated)::
|
|
This is a deprecated synonym for `repack.writeBitmaps`.
|
|
|
|
pack.writeBitmapHashCache::
|
|
When true, git will include a "hash cache" section in the bitmap
|
|
index (if one is written). This cache can be used to feed git's
|
|
delta heuristics, potentially leading to better deltas between
|
|
bitmapped and non-bitmapped objects (e.g., when serving a fetch
|
|
between an older, bitmapped pack and objects that have been
|
|
pushed since the last gc). The downside is that it consumes 4
|
|
bytes per object of disk space, and that JGit's bitmap
|
|
implementation does not understand it, causing it to complain if
|
|
Git and JGit are used on the same repository. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
pager.<cmd>::
|
|
If the value is boolean, turns on or off pagination of the
|
|
output of a particular Git subcommand when writing to a tty.
|
|
Otherwise, turns on pagination for the subcommand using the
|
|
pager specified by the value of `pager.<cmd>`. If `--paginate`
|
|
or `--no-pager` is specified on the command line, it takes
|
|
precedence over this option. To disable pagination for all
|
|
commands, set `core.pager` or `GIT_PAGER` to `cat`.
|
|
|
|
pretty.<name>::
|
|
Alias for a --pretty= format string, as specified in
|
|
linkgit:git-log[1]. Any aliases defined here can be used just
|
|
as the built-in pretty formats could. For example,
|
|
running `git config pretty.changelog "format:* %H %s"`
|
|
would cause the invocation `git log --pretty=changelog`
|
|
to be equivalent to running `git log "--pretty=format:* %H %s"`.
|
|
Note that an alias with the same name as a built-in format
|
|
will be silently ignored.
|
|
|
|
pull.ff::
|
|
By default, Git does not create an extra merge commit when merging
|
|
a commit that is a descendant of the current commit. Instead, the
|
|
tip of the current branch is fast-forwarded. When set to `false`,
|
|
this variable tells Git to create an extra merge commit in such
|
|
a case (equivalent to giving the `--no-ff` option from the command
|
|
line). When set to `only`, only such fast-forward merges are
|
|
allowed (equivalent to giving the `--ff-only` option from the
|
|
command line). This setting overrides `merge.ff` when pulling.
|
|
|
|
pull.rebase::
|
|
When true, rebase branches on top of the fetched branch, instead
|
|
of merging the default branch from the default remote when "git
|
|
pull" is run. See "branch.<name>.rebase" for setting this on a
|
|
per-branch basis.
|
|
+
|
|
When preserve, also pass `--preserve-merges` along to 'git rebase'
|
|
so that locally committed merge commits will not be flattened
|
|
by running 'git pull'.
|
|
+
|
|
*NOTE*: this is a possibly dangerous operation; do *not* use
|
|
it unless you understand the implications (see linkgit:git-rebase[1]
|
|
for details).
|
|
|
|
pull.octopus::
|
|
The default merge strategy to use when pulling multiple branches
|
|
at once.
|
|
|
|
pull.twohead::
|
|
The default merge strategy to use when pulling a single branch.
|
|
|
|
push.default::
|
|
Defines the action `git push` should take if no refspec is
|
|
explicitly given. Different values are well-suited for
|
|
specific workflows; for instance, in a purely central workflow
|
|
(i.e. the fetch source is equal to the push destination),
|
|
`upstream` is probably what you want. Possible values are:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
* `nothing` - do not push anything (error out) unless a refspec is
|
|
explicitly given. This is primarily meant for people who want to
|
|
avoid mistakes by always being explicit.
|
|
|
|
* `current` - push the current branch to update a branch with the same
|
|
name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central
|
|
workflows.
|
|
|
|
* `upstream` - push the current branch back to the branch whose
|
|
changes are usually integrated into the current branch (which is
|
|
called `@{upstream}`). This mode only makes sense if you are
|
|
pushing to the same repository you would normally pull from
|
|
(i.e. central workflow).
|
|
|
|
* `simple` - in centralized workflow, work like `upstream` with an
|
|
added safety to refuse to push if the upstream branch's name is
|
|
different from the local one.
|
|
+
|
|
When pushing to a remote that is different from the remote you normally
|
|
pull from, work as `current`. This is the safest option and is suited
|
|
for beginners.
|
|
+
|
|
This mode has become the default in Git 2.0.
|
|
|
|
* `matching` - push all branches having the same name on both ends.
|
|
This makes the repository you are pushing to remember the set of
|
|
branches that will be pushed out (e.g. if you always push 'maint'
|
|
and 'master' there and no other branches, the repository you push
|
|
to will have these two branches, and your local 'maint' and
|
|
'master' will be pushed there).
|
|
+
|
|
To use this mode effectively, you have to make sure _all_ the
|
|
branches you would push out are ready to be pushed out before
|
|
running 'git push', as the whole point of this mode is to allow you
|
|
to push all of the branches in one go. If you usually finish work
|
|
on only one branch and push out the result, while other branches are
|
|
unfinished, this mode is not for you. Also this mode is not
|
|
suitable for pushing into a shared central repository, as other
|
|
people may add new branches there, or update the tip of existing
|
|
branches outside your control.
|
|
+
|
|
This used to be the default, but not since Git 2.0 (`simple` is the
|
|
new default).
|
|
|
|
--
|
|
|
|
push.followTags::
|
|
If set to true enable '--follow-tags' option by default. You
|
|
may override this configuration at time of push by specifying
|
|
'--no-follow-tags'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
rebase.stat::
|
|
Whether to show a diffstat of what changed upstream since the last
|
|
rebase. False by default.
|
|
|
|
rebase.autoSquash::
|
|
If set to true enable '--autosquash' option by default.
|
|
|
|
rebase.autoStash::
|
|
When set to true, automatically create a temporary stash
|
|
before the operation begins, and apply it after the operation
|
|
ends. This means that you can run rebase on a dirty worktree.
|
|
However, use with care: the final stash application after a
|
|
successful rebase might result in non-trivial conflicts.
|
|
Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
receive.advertiseAtomic::
|
|
By default, git-receive-pack will advertise the atomic push
|
|
capability to its clients. If you don't want to this capability
|
|
to be advertised, set this variable to false.
|
|
|
|
receive.autogc::
|
|
By default, git-receive-pack will run "git-gc --auto" after
|
|
receiving data from git-push and updating refs. You can stop
|
|
it by setting this variable to false.
|
|
|
|
receive.certNonceSeed::
|
|
By setting this variable to a string, `git receive-pack`
|
|
will accept a `git push --signed` and verifies it by using
|
|
a "nonce" protected by HMAC using this string as a secret
|
|
key.
|
|
|
|
receive.certNonceSlop::
|
|
When a `git push --signed` sent a push certificate with a
|
|
"nonce" that was issued by a receive-pack serving the same
|
|
repository within this many seconds, export the "nonce"
|
|
found in the certificate to `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE` to the
|
|
hooks (instead of what the receive-pack asked the sending
|
|
side to include). This may allow writing checks in
|
|
`pre-receive` and `post-receive` a bit easier. Instead of
|
|
checking `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_SLOP` environment variable
|
|
that records by how many seconds the nonce is stale to
|
|
decide if they want to accept the certificate, they only
|
|
can check `GIT_PUSH_CERT_NONCE_STATUS` is `OK`.
|
|
|
|
receive.fsckObjects::
|
|
If it is set to true, git-receive-pack will check all received
|
|
objects. It will abort in the case of a malformed object or a
|
|
broken link. The result of an abort are only dangling objects.
|
|
Defaults to false. If not set, the value of `transfer.fsckObjects`
|
|
is used instead.
|
|
|
|
receive.unpackLimit::
|
|
If the number of objects received in a push is below this
|
|
limit then the objects will be unpacked into loose object
|
|
files. However if the number of received objects equals or
|
|
exceeds this limit then the received pack will be stored as
|
|
a pack, after adding any missing delta bases. Storing the
|
|
pack from a push can make the push operation complete faster,
|
|
especially on slow filesystems. If not set, the value of
|
|
`transfer.unpackLimit` is used instead.
|
|
|
|
receive.denyDeletes::
|
|
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that deletes
|
|
the ref. Use this to prevent such a ref deletion via a push.
|
|
|
|
receive.denyDeleteCurrent::
|
|
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update that
|
|
deletes the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
|
|
|
|
receive.denyCurrentBranch::
|
|
If set to true or "refuse", git-receive-pack will deny a ref update
|
|
to the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository.
|
|
Such a push is potentially dangerous because it brings the HEAD
|
|
out of sync with the index and working tree. If set to "warn",
|
|
print a warning of such a push to stderr, but allow the push to
|
|
proceed. If set to false or "ignore", allow such pushes with no
|
|
message. Defaults to "refuse".
|
|
+
|
|
Another option is "updateInstead" which will update the working
|
|
tree if pushing into the current branch. This option is
|
|
intended for synchronizing working directories when one side is not easily
|
|
accessible via interactive ssh (e.g. a live web site, hence the requirement
|
|
that the working directory be clean). This mode also comes in handy when
|
|
developing inside a VM to test and fix code on different Operating Systems.
|
|
+
|
|
By default, "updateInstead" will refuse the push if the working tree or
|
|
the index have any difference from the HEAD, but the `push-to-checkout`
|
|
hook can be used to customize this. See linkgit:githooks[5].
|
|
|
|
receive.denyNonFastForwards::
|
|
If set to true, git-receive-pack will deny a ref update which is
|
|
not a fast-forward. Use this to prevent such an update via a push,
|
|
even if that push is forced. This configuration variable is
|
|
set when initializing a shared repository.
|
|
|
|
receive.hideRefs::
|
|
String(s) `receive-pack` uses to decide which refs to omit
|
|
from its initial advertisement. Use more than one
|
|
definitions to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that
|
|
are under the hierarchies listed on the value of this
|
|
variable is excluded, and is hidden when responding to `git
|
|
push`, and an attempt to update or delete a hidden ref by
|
|
`git push` is rejected.
|
|
|
|
receive.updateServerInfo::
|
|
If set to true, git-receive-pack will run git-update-server-info
|
|
after receiving data from git-push and updating refs.
|
|
|
|
receive.shallowUpdate::
|
|
If set to true, .git/shallow can be updated when new refs
|
|
require new shallow roots. Otherwise those refs are rejected.
|
|
|
|
remote.pushDefault::
|
|
The remote to push to by default. Overrides
|
|
`branch.<name>.remote` for all branches, and is overridden by
|
|
`branch.<name>.pushRemote` for specific branches.
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.url::
|
|
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
|
|
disable proxying for that remote.
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.fetch::
|
|
The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-fetch[1]. See
|
|
linkgit:git-fetch[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.push::
|
|
The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-push[1]. See
|
|
linkgit:git-push[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.mirror::
|
|
If true, pushing to this remote will automatically behave
|
|
as if the `--mirror` option was given on the command line.
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate::
|
|
If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating
|
|
using linkgit:git-fetch[1] or the `update` subcommand of
|
|
linkgit:git-remote[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.skipFetchAll::
|
|
If true, this remote will be skipped by default when updating
|
|
using linkgit:git-fetch[1] or the `update` subcommand of
|
|
linkgit:git-remote[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.receivepack::
|
|
The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
|
|
option --receive-pack of linkgit:git-push[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.uploadpack::
|
|
The default program to execute on the remote side when fetching. See
|
|
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 it to --tags will fetch every
|
|
tag from remote <name>, even if they are not reachable from remote
|
|
branch heads. Passing these flags directly to linkgit:git-fetch[1] can
|
|
override this setting. See options --tags and --no-tags of
|
|
linkgit:git-fetch[1].
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.vcs::
|
|
Setting this to a value <vcs> will cause Git to interact with
|
|
the remote with the git-remote-<vcs> helper.
|
|
|
|
remote.<name>.prune::
|
|
When set to true, fetching from this remote by default will also
|
|
remove any remote-tracking references that no longer exist on the
|
|
remote (as if the `--prune` option was given on the command line).
|
|
Overrides `fetch.prune` settings, if any.
|
|
|
|
remotes.<group>::
|
|
The list of remotes which are fetched by "git remote update
|
|
<group>". See linkgit:git-remote[1].
|
|
|
|
repack.useDeltaBaseOffset::
|
|
By default, linkgit:git-repack[1] creates packs that use
|
|
delta-base offset. If you need to share your repository with
|
|
Git older than version 1.4.4, either directly or via a dumb
|
|
protocol such as http, then you need to set this option to
|
|
"false" and repack. Access from old Git versions over the
|
|
native protocol are unaffected by this option.
|
|
|
|
repack.packKeptObjects::
|
|
If set to true, makes `git repack` act as if
|
|
`--pack-kept-objects` was passed. See linkgit:git-repack[1] for
|
|
details. Defaults to `false` normally, but `true` if a bitmap
|
|
index is being written (either via `--write-bitmap-index` or
|
|
`repack.writeBitmaps`).
|
|
|
|
repack.writeBitmaps::
|
|
When true, git will write a bitmap index when packing all
|
|
objects to disk (e.g., when `git repack -a` is run). This
|
|
index can speed up the "counting objects" phase of subsequent
|
|
packs created for clones and fetches, at the cost of some disk
|
|
space and extra time spent on the initial repack. Defaults to
|
|
false.
|
|
|
|
rerere.autoUpdate::
|
|
When set to true, `git-rerere` updates the index with the
|
|
resulting contents after it cleanly resolves conflicts using
|
|
previously recorded resolution. Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
rerere.enabled::
|
|
Activate recording of resolved conflicts, so that identical
|
|
conflict hunks can be resolved automatically, should they be
|
|
encountered again. By default, linkgit:git-rerere[1] is
|
|
enabled if there is an `rr-cache` directory under the
|
|
`$GIT_DIR`, e.g. if "rerere" was previously used in the
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.smtpssl (deprecated)::
|
|
Deprecated alias for 'sendemail.smtpEncryption = ssl'.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.smtpsslcertpath::
|
|
Path to ca-certificates (either a directory or a single file).
|
|
Set it to an empty string to disable certificate verification.
|
|
|
|
sendemail.<identity>.*::
|
|
Identity-specific versions of the 'sendemail.*' parameters
|
|
found below, taking precedence over those when the this
|
|
identity is selected, through command-line or
|
|
'sendemail.identity'.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
showbranch.default::
|
|
The default set of branches for linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
|
|
See linkgit:git-show-branch[1].
|
|
|
|
status.relativePaths::
|
|
By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the
|
|
current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths
|
|
relative to the repository root (this was the default for Git
|
|
prior to v1.5.4).
|
|
|
|
status.short::
|
|
Set to true to enable --short by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
|
|
The option --no-short takes precedence over this variable.
|
|
|
|
status.branch::
|
|
Set to true to enable --branch by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
|
|
The option --no-branch takes precedence over this variable.
|
|
|
|
status.displayCommentPrefix::
|
|
If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will insert a comment
|
|
prefix before each output line (starting with
|
|
`core.commentChar`, i.e. `#` by default). This was the
|
|
behavior of linkgit:git-status[1] in Git 1.8.4 and previous.
|
|
Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
status.showUntrackedFiles::
|
|
By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show
|
|
files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which
|
|
contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name
|
|
only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all
|
|
the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some
|
|
systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays
|
|
the untracked files. Possible values are:
|
|
+
|
|
--
|
|
* `no` - Show no untracked files.
|
|
* `normal` - Show untracked files and directories.
|
|
* `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories.
|
|
--
|
|
+
|
|
If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.
|
|
This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option
|
|
of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].
|
|
|
|
status.submoduleSummary::
|
|
Defaults to false.
|
|
If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an
|
|
unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
|
|
summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see
|
|
--summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note
|
|
that the summary output command will be suppressed for all
|
|
submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only
|
|
for those submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. The only
|
|
exception to that rule is that status and commit will show staged
|
|
submodule changes. To
|
|
also view the summary for ignored submodules you can either use
|
|
the --ignore-submodules=dirty command-line option or the 'git
|
|
submodule summary' command, which shows a similar output but does
|
|
not honor these settings.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.path::
|
|
submodule.<name>.url::
|
|
The path within this project and URL for a submodule. These
|
|
variables are initially populated by 'git submodule init'. See
|
|
linkgit:git-submodule[1] and linkgit:gitmodules[5] for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.update::
|
|
The default update procedure for a submodule. This variable
|
|
is populated by `git submodule init` from the
|
|
linkgit:gitmodules[5] file. See description of 'update'
|
|
command in linkgit:git-submodule[1].
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.branch::
|
|
The remote branch name for a submodule, used by `git submodule
|
|
update --remote`. Set this option to override the value found in
|
|
the `.gitmodules` file. See linkgit:git-submodule[1] and
|
|
linkgit:gitmodules[5] for details.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.fetchRecurseSubmodules::
|
|
This option can be used to control recursive fetching of this
|
|
submodule. It can be overridden by using the --[no-]recurse-submodules
|
|
command-line option to "git fetch" and "git pull".
|
|
This setting will override that from in the linkgit:gitmodules[5]
|
|
file.
|
|
|
|
submodule.<name>.ignore::
|
|
Defines under what circumstances "git status" and the diff family show
|
|
a submodule as modified. When set to "all", it will never be considered
|
|
modified (but it will nonetheless show up in the output of status and
|
|
commit when it has been staged), "dirty" will ignore all changes
|
|
to the submodules work tree and
|
|
takes only differences between the HEAD of the submodule and the commit
|
|
recorded in the superproject into account. "untracked" will additionally
|
|
let submodules with modified tracked files in their work tree show up.
|
|
Using "none" (the default when this option is not set) also shows
|
|
submodules that have untracked files in their work tree as changed.
|
|
This setting overrides any setting made in .gitmodules for this submodule,
|
|
both settings can be overridden on the command line by using the
|
|
"--ignore-submodules" option. The 'git submodule' commands are not
|
|
affected by this setting.
|
|
|
|
tag.sort::
|
|
This variable controls the sort ordering of tags when displayed by
|
|
linkgit:git-tag[1]. Without the "--sort=<value>" option provided, the
|
|
value of this variable will be used as the default.
|
|
|
|
tar.umask::
|
|
This variable can be used to restrict the permission bits of
|
|
tar archive entries. The default is 0002, which turns off the
|
|
world write bit. The special value "user" indicates that the
|
|
archiving user's umask will be used instead. See umask(2) and
|
|
linkgit:git-archive[1].
|
|
|
|
transfer.fsckObjects::
|
|
When `fetch.fsckObjects` or `receive.fsckObjects` are
|
|
not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
|
|
Defaults to false.
|
|
|
|
transfer.hideRefs::
|
|
This variable can be used to set both `receive.hideRefs`
|
|
and `uploadpack.hideRefs` at the same time to the same
|
|
values. See entries for these other variables.
|
|
|
|
transfer.unpackLimit::
|
|
When `fetch.unpackLimit` or `receive.unpackLimit` are
|
|
not set, the value of this variable is used instead.
|
|
The default value is 100.
|
|
|
|
uploadarchive.allowUnreachable::
|
|
If true, allow clients to use `git archive --remote` to request
|
|
any tree, whether reachable from the ref tips or not. See the
|
|
discussion in the `SECURITY` section of
|
|
linkgit:git-upload-archive[1] for more details. Defaults to
|
|
`false`.
|
|
|
|
uploadpack.hideRefs::
|
|
String(s) `upload-pack` uses to decide which refs to omit
|
|
from its initial advertisement. Use more than one
|
|
definitions to specify multiple prefix strings. A ref that
|
|
are under the hierarchies listed on the value of this
|
|
variable is excluded, and is hidden from `git ls-remote`,
|
|
`git fetch`, etc. An attempt to fetch a hidden ref by `git
|
|
fetch` will fail. See also `uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant`.
|
|
|
|
uploadpack.allowTipSHA1InWant::
|
|
When `uploadpack.hideRefs` is in effect, allow `upload-pack`
|
|
to accept a fetch request that asks for an object at the tip
|
|
of a hidden ref (by default, such a request is rejected).
|
|
see also `uploadpack.hideRefs`.
|
|
|
|
uploadpack.allowReachableSHA1InWant::
|
|
Allow `upload-pack` to accept a fetch request that asks for an
|
|
object that is reachable from any ref tip. However, note that
|
|
calculating object reachability is computationally expensive.
|
|
Defaults to `false`.
|
|
|
|
uploadpack.keepAlive::
|
|
When `upload-pack` has started `pack-objects`, there may be a
|
|
quiet period while `pack-objects` prepares the pack. Normally
|
|
it would output progress information, but if `--quiet` was used
|
|
for the fetch, `pack-objects` will output nothing at all until
|
|
the pack data begins. Some clients and networks may consider
|
|
the server to be hung and give up. Setting this option instructs
|
|
`upload-pack` to send an empty keepalive packet every
|
|
`uploadpack.keepAlive` seconds. Setting this option to 0
|
|
disables keepalive packets entirely. The default is 5 seconds.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
'EMAIL' environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
|
|
|
|
user.name::
|
|
Your full name to be recorded in any newly created commits.
|
|
Can be overridden by the 'GIT_AUTHOR_NAME' and 'GIT_COMMITTER_NAME'
|
|
environment variables. See linkgit:git-commit-tree[1].
|
|
|
|
user.signingKey::
|
|
If linkgit:git-tag[1] or linkgit:git-commit[1] is not selecting the
|
|
key you want it to automatically when creating a signed tag or
|
|
commit, you can override the default selection with this variable.
|
|
This option is passed unchanged to gpg's --local-user parameter,
|
|
so you may specify a key using any method that gpg supports.
|
|
|
|
versionsort.prereleaseSuffix::
|
|
When version sort is used in linkgit:git-tag[1], prerelease
|
|
tags (e.g. "1.0-rc1") may appear after the main release
|
|
"1.0". By specifying the suffix "-rc" in this variable,
|
|
"1.0-rc1" will appear before "1.0".
|
|
+
|
|
This variable can be specified multiple times, once per suffix. The
|
|
order of suffixes in the config file determines the sorting order
|
|
(e.g. if "-pre" appears before "-rc" in the config file then 1.0-preXX
|
|
is sorted before 1.0-rcXX). The sorting order between different
|
|
suffixes is undefined if they are in multiple config files.
|
|
|
|
web.browser::
|
|
Specify a web browser that may be used by some commands.
|
|
Currently only linkgit:git-instaweb[1] and linkgit:git-help[1]
|
|
may use it.
|
