+http.proxy::
+ Override the HTTP proxy, normally configured using the 'http_proxy',
+ 'https_proxy', and 'all_proxy' environment variables (see `curl(1)`). In
+ addition to the syntax understood by curl, it is possible to specify a
+ proxy string with a user name but no password, in which case git will
+ attempt to acquire one in the same way it does for other credentials. See
+ linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. The syntax thus is
+ '[protocol://][user[:password]@]proxyhost[:port]'. This can be overridden
+ on a per-remote basis; see remote.<name>.proxy
+
+http.proxyAuthMethod::
+ Set the method with which to authenticate against the HTTP proxy. This
+ only takes effect if the configured proxy string contains a user name part
+ (i.e. is of the form 'user@host' or 'user@host:port'). This can be
+ overridden on a per-remote basis; see `remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod`.
+ Both can be overridden by the `GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD` environment
+ variable. Possible values are:
++
+--
+* `anyauth` - Automatically pick a suitable authentication method. It is
+ assumed that the proxy answers an unauthenticated request with a 407
+ status code and one or more Proxy-authenticate headers with supported
+ authentication methods. This is the default.
+* `basic` - HTTP Basic authentication
+* `digest` - HTTP Digest authentication; this prevents the password from being
+ transmitted to the proxy in clear text
+* `negotiate` - GSS-Negotiate authentication (compare the --negotiate option
+ of `curl(1)`)
+* `ntlm` - NTLM authentication (compare the --ntlm option of `curl(1)`)
+--
+
+http.emptyAuth::
+ Attempt authentication without seeking a username or password. This
+ can be used to attempt GSS-Negotiate authentication without specifying
+ a username in the URL, as libcurl normally requires a username for
+ authentication.
+
+http.delegation::
+ Control GSSAPI credential delegation. The delegation is disabled
+ by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7. Set parameter to tell
+ the server what it is allowed to delegate when it comes to user
+ credentials. Used with GSS/kerberos. Possible values are:
++
+--
+* `none` - Don't allow any delegation.
+* `policy` - Delegates if and only if the OK-AS-DELEGATE flag is set in the
+ Kerberos service ticket, which is a matter of realm policy.
+* `always` - Unconditionally allow the server to delegate.
+--
+
+
+http.extraHeader::
+ Pass an additional HTTP header when communicating with a server. If
+ more than one such entry exists, all of them are added as extra
+ headers. To allow overriding the settings inherited from the system
+ config, an empty value will reset the extra headers to the empty list.
+
+http.cookieFile::
+ The pathname of a 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 `curl(1)`).
+ NOTE that the file specified with http.cookieFile is used only 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.version::
+ Use the specified HTTP protocol version when communicating with a server.
+ If you want to force the default. The available and default version depend
+ on libcurl. Actually the possible values of
+ this option are:
+
+ - HTTP/2
+ - HTTP/1.1
+
+http.sslVersion::
+ The SSL version to use when negotiating an SSL connection, if you
+ want to force the default. The available and default version
+ 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_VERSION' option; see the libcurl
+ documentation for more details on the format of this option and
+ for the ssl version supported. Actually the possible values of
+ this option are:
+
+ - sslv2
+ - sslv3
+ - tlsv1
+ - tlsv1.0
+ - tlsv1.1
+ - tlsv1.2
+ - tlsv1.3
+
++
+Can be overridden by the `GIT_SSL_VERSION` environment variable.
+To force git to use libcurl's default ssl version and ignore any
+explicit http.sslversion option, set `GIT_SSL_VERSION` to the
+empty string.
+
+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. Defaults to true. 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.sslBackend::
+ Name of the SSL backend to use (e.g. "openssl" or "schannel").
+ This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for choosing the SSL
+ backend at runtime.
+
+http.schannelCheckRevoke::
+ Used to enforce or disable certificate revocation checks in cURL
+ when http.sslBackend is set to "schannel". Defaults to `true` if
+ unset. Only necessary to disable this if Git consistently errors
+ and the message is about checking the revocation status of a
+ certificate. This option is ignored if cURL lacks support for
+ setting the relevant SSL option at runtime.
+
+http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo::
+ As of cURL v7.60.0, the Secure Channel backend can use the
+ certificate bundle provided via `http.sslCAInfo`, but that would
+ override the Windows Certificate Store. Since this is not desirable
+ by default, Git will tell cURL not to use that bundle by default
+ when the `schannel` backend was configured via `http.sslBackend`,
+ unless `http.schannelUseSSLCAInfo` overrides this behavior.
+
+http.pinnedpubkey::
+ Public key of the https service. It may either be the filename of
+ a PEM or DER encoded public key file or a string starting with
+ 'sha256//' followed by the base64 encoded sha256 hash of the
+ public key. See also libcurl 'CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY'. git will
+ exit with an error if this option is set but not supported by
+ cURL.
+
+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.followRedirects::
+ Whether git should follow HTTP redirects. If set to `true`, git
+ will transparently follow any redirect issued by a server it
+ encounters. If set to `false`, git will treat all redirects as
+ errors. If set to `initial`, git will follow redirects only for
+ the initial request to a remote, but not for subsequent
+ follow-up HTTP requests. Since git uses the redirected URL as
+ the base for the follow-up requests, this is generally
+ sufficient. The default is `initial`.
+
+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 between the config key and the URL. It is
+ possible to specify a `*` as part of the host name to match all subdomains
+ at this level. `https://*.example.com/` for example would match
+ `https://foo.example.com/`, but not `https://foo.bar.example.com/`.
+
+. 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.
