Viewing files in GUI tools
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`encoding`
^^^^^^^^^^
The value of this attribute specifies the character encoding that should
be used by GUI tools (e.g. linkgit:gitk[1] and linkgit:git-gui[1]) to
display the contents of the relevant file. Note that due to performance
considerations linkgit:gitk[1] does not use this attribute unless you
manually enable per-file encodings in its options.
If this attribute is not set or has an invalid value, the value of the
`gui.encoding` configuration variable is used instead
