ifdef::git-commit[] :see-git-commit: endif::git-commit[] ifndef::git-commit[] :see-git-commit: See linkgit:git-commit[1] for details. endif::git-commit[] `commit.cleanup`:: This setting overrides the default of the `--cleanup` option in `git commit`. {see-git-commit} Changing the default can be useful when you always want to keep lines that begin with the 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 the pathname of a file to use as the template for new commit messages. `commit.verbose`:: A boolean or int to specify the level of verbosity with `git commit`. {see-git-commit}
