The value of this setting is interpolated, i.e. `~/<path>` expands to a path relative to the home directory and `%(prefix)/<path>` expands to a path relative to Git's (runtime) prefix. ++ +To completely opt-out of this security check, set `safe.directory` to the +string `*`. This will allow all repositories to be treated as if their +directory was listed in the `safe.directory` list. If `safe.directory=*` +is set in system config and you want to re-enable this protection, then +initialize your list with an empty value before listing the repositories +that you deem safe. |
