color.advice:: A boolean to enable/disable color in hints (e.g. when a push failed, see `advice.*` for a list). May be set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.advice.hint:: Use customized color for hints. color.blame.highlightRecent:: This can be used to color the metadata of a blame line depending on age of the line. + This setting should be set to a comma-separated list of color and date settings, starting and ending with a color, the dates should be set from oldest to newest. The metadata will be colored given the colors if the line was introduced before the given timestamp, overwriting older timestamped colors. + Instead of an absolute timestamp relative timestamps work as well, e.g. 2.weeks.ago is valid to address anything older than 2 weeks. + It defaults to 'blue,12 month ago,white,1 month ago,red', which colors everything older than one year blue, recent changes between one month and one year old are kept white, and lines introduced within the last month are colored red. color.blame.repeatedLines:: Use the customized color for the part of git-blame output that is repeated meta information per line (such as commit id, author name, date and timezone). Defaults to cyan. color.branch:: A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of linkgit:git-branch[1]. May be set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.branch.<slot>:: Use customized color for branch coloration. `<slot>` is one of `current` (the current branch), `local` (a local branch), `remote` (a remote-tracking branch in refs/remotes/), `upstream` (upstream tracking branch), `plain` (other refs). color.diff:: Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches. If this is set to `always`, linkgit:git-diff[1], linkgit:git-log[1], and linkgit:git-show[1] will use color for all patches. If it is set to `true` or `auto`, those commands will only use color when output is to the terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). + This does not affect linkgit:git-format-patch[1] or the 'git-diff-{asterisk}' plumbing commands. Can be overridden on the command line with the `--color[=<when>]` option. color.diff.<slot>:: Use customized color for diff colorization. `<slot>` specifies which part of the patch to use the specified color, and is one of `context` (context text - `plain` is a historical synonym), `meta` (metainformation), `frag` (hunk header), 'func' (function in hunk header), `old` (removed lines), `new` (added lines), `commit` (commit headers), `whitespace` (highlighting whitespace errors), `oldMoved` (deleted lines), `newMoved` (added lines), `oldMovedDimmed`, `oldMovedAlternative`, `oldMovedAlternativeDimmed`, `newMovedDimmed`, `newMovedAlternative` `newMovedAlternativeDimmed` (See the '<mode>' setting of '--color-moved' in linkgit:git-diff[1] for details), `contextDimmed`, `oldDimmed`, `newDimmed`, `contextBold`, `oldBold`, and `newBold` (see linkgit:git-range-diff[1] for details). color.decorate.<slot>:: Use customized color for 'git log --decorate' output. `<slot>` is one of `branch`, `remoteBranch`, `tag`, `stash` or `HEAD` for local branches, remote-tracking branches, tags, stash and HEAD, respectively and `grafted` for grafted commits. color.grep:: When set to `always`, always highlight matches. When `false` (or `never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use color only when the output is written to the terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.grep.<slot>:: Use customized color for grep colorization. `<slot>` specifies which part of the line to use the specified color, and is one of + -- `context`;; non-matching text in context lines (when using `-A`, `-B`, or `-C`) `filename`;; filename prefix (when not using `-h`) `function`;; function name lines (when using `-p`) `lineNumber`;; line number prefix (when using `-n`) `column`;; column number prefix (when using `--column`) `match`;; matching text (same as setting `matchContext` and `matchSelected`) `matchContext`;; matching text in context lines `matchSelected`;; matching text in selected lines `selected`;; non-matching text in selected lines `separator`;; separators between fields on a line (`:`, `-`, and `=`) and between hunks (`--`) -- color.interactive:: When set to `always`, always use colors for interactive prompts and displays (such as those used by "git-add --interactive" and "git-clean --interactive"). When false (or `never`), never. When set to `true` or `auto`, use colors only when the output is to the terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.interactive.<slot>:: Use customized color for 'git add --interactive' and 'git clean --interactive' output. `<slot>` may be `prompt`, `header`, `help` or `error`, for four distinct types of normal output from interactive commands. color.pager:: A boolean to enable/disable colored output when the pager is in use (default is true). color.push:: A boolean to enable/disable color in push errors. May be set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.push.error:: Use customized color for push errors. color.remote:: If set, keywords at the start of the line are highlighted. The keywords are "error", "warning", "hint" and "success", and are matched case-insensitively. May be set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`). If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.remote.<slot>:: Use customized color for each remote keyword. `<slot>` may be `hint`, `warning`, `success` or `error` which match the corresponding keyword. color.showBranch:: A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of linkgit:git-show-branch[1]. May be set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.status:: A boolean to enable/disable color in the output of linkgit:git-status[1]. May be set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used only when the output is to a terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.status.<slot>:: Use customized color for status colorization. `<slot>` is one of `header` (the header text of the status message), `added` or `updated` (files which are added but not committed), `changed` (files which are changed but not added in the index), `untracked` (files which are not tracked by Git), `branch` (the current branch), `nobranch` (the color the 'no branch' warning is shown in, defaulting to red), `localBranch` or `remoteBranch` (the local and remote branch names, respectively, when branch and tracking information is displayed in the status short-format), or `unmerged` (files which have unmerged changes). color.transport:: A boolean to enable/disable color when pushes are rejected. May be set to `always`, `false` (or `never`) or `auto` (or `true`), in which case colors are used only when the error output goes to a terminal. If unset, then the value of `color.ui` is used (`auto` by default). color.transport.rejected:: Use customized color when a push was rejected. color.ui:: This variable determines the default value for variables such as `color.diff` and `color.grep` that control the use of color per command family. Its scope will expand as more commands learn configuration to set a default for the `--color` option. Set it to `false` or `never` if you prefer Git commands not to use color unless enabled explicitly with some other configuration or the `--color` option. Set it to `always` if you want all output not intended for machine consumption to use color, to `true` or `auto` (this is the default since Git 1.8.4) if you want such output to use color when written to the terminal.
