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.preferSymlinkRefs:: + Instead of the default "symref" format for HEAD + and other symbolic reference files, use symbolic links. + This is sometimes needed to work with old scripts that + expect HEAD to be a symbolic link. + +core.logAllRefUpdates:: + If true, `git-update-ref` will append a line to + "$GIT_DIR/logs/<ref>" listing the new SHA1 and the date/time + of the update. If the file does not exist it will be + created automatically. This information can be used to + determine what commit was the tip of a branch "2 days ago". + This value is false by default (no logging). + +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.

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).
