CONFIGURATION FILE |
|
------------------ |
|
|
|
The git configuration file contains a number of variables that affect |
|
the git commands behaviour. They can be used by both the git plumbing |
|
and the porcelains. The variables are divided to sections, where |
|
in the fully qualified variable name 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 and only alphanumeric |
|
characters are allowed. Some variables may appear multiple times. |
|
|
|
The syntax is fairly flexible and permissive; whitespaces are mostly |
|
ignored. The '#' and ';' characters begin commends to the end of line, |
|
blank lines are ignored, lines containing strings enclosed in square |
|
brackets start sections and all the other lines are recognized |
|
as setting variables, in the form 'name = value'. If there is no equal |
|
sign on the line, the entire line is taken as 'name' and the variable |
|
is recognized as boolean "true". String values may be entirely or partially |
|
enclosed in double quotes; some variables may require special value format. |
|
|
|
Example |
|
~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
# Core variables |
|
[core] |
|
; Don't trust file modes |
|
filemode = false |
|
|
|
# Our diff algorithm |
|
[diff] |
|
external = "/usr/local/bin/gnu-diff -u" |
|
renames = true |
|
|
|
Variables |
|
~~~~~~~~~ |
|
|
|
Note that this list is non-comprehensive and not necessarily complete. |
|
For command-specific variables, you will find more detailed description |
|
in the appropriate manual page. You will find description of non-core |
|
porcelain configuration variables in the respective porcelain documentation. |
|
|
|
core.fileMode:: |
|
If false, the executable bit differences between the index and |
|
the working copy are ignored; useful on broken filesystems like FAT. |
|
See gitlink:git-update-index[1]. True by default. |
|
|
|
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 overriden by the 'GIT_PROXY_COMMAND' environment variable |
|
(which always applies universally, without the special "for" |
|
handling). |
|
|
|
core.ignoreStat:: |
|
The working copy files are assumed to stay unchanged until you |
|
mark them otherwise manually - Git will not detect the file changes |
|
by lstat() calls. This is useful on systems where those are very |
|
slow, such as Microsoft Windows. See gitlink:git-update-index[1]. |
|
False by default. |
|
|
|
core.onlyUseSymrefs:: |
|
Always use the "symref" format instead of symbolic links for HEAD |
|
and other symbolic reference files. True by default. |
|
|
|
core.repositoryFormatVersion:: |
|
Internal variable identifying the repository format and layout |
|
version. |
|
|
|
core.sharedRepository:: |
|
If true, the repository is made shareable between several users |
|
in a group (making sure all the files and objects are group-writable). |
|
See gitlink:git-init-db[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 .git/refs/ tree. True by default. |
|
|
|
apply.whitespace:: |
|
Tells `git-apply` how to handle whitespaces, in the same way |
|
as the '--whitespace' option. See gitlink:git-apply[1]. |
|
|
|
diff.renameLimit:: |
|
The number of files to consider when performing the copy/rename |
|
detection; equivalent to the git diff option '-l'. |
|
|
|
format.headers:: |
|
Additional email headers to include in a patch to be submitted |
|
by mail. See gitlink:git-format-patch[1]. |
|
|
|
gitcvs.enabled:: |
|
Whether the cvs pserver interface is enabled for this repository. |
|
See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1]. |
|
|
|
gitcvs.logfile:: |
|
Path to a log file where the cvs pserver interface well... logs |
|
various stuff. See gitlink:git-cvsserver[1]. |
|
|
|
http.sslVerify:: |
|
Whether to verify the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing |
|
over HTTPS. Can be overriden by the 'GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY' environment |
|
variable. |
|
|
|
http.sslCert:: |
|
File containing the SSL certificate when fetching or pushing |
|
over HTTPS. Can be overriden by the 'GIT_SSL_CERT' environment |
|
variable. |
|
|
|
http.sslKey:: |
|
File containing the SSL private key when fetching or pushing |
|
over HTTPS. Can be overriden by the 'GIT_SSL_KEY' environment |
|
variable. |
|
|
|
http.sslCAInfo:: |
|
File containing the certificates to verify the peer with when |
|
fetching or pushing over HTTPS. Can be overriden 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 overriden |
|
by the 'GIT_SSL_CAPATH' environment variable. |
|
|
|
http.maxRequests:: |
|
How many HTTP requests to launch in parallel. Can be overriden |
|
by the 'GIT_HTTP_MAX_REQUESTS' environment variable. Default is 5. |
|
|
|
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 overriden by the 'GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_LIMIT' and |
|
'GIT_HTTP_LOW_SPEED_TIME' environment variables. |
|
|
|
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. gitlink:git-mailinfo[1]. Defaults to 'utf-8'. |
|
|

|
Whether to include summaries of merged commits in newly created |
|
