protocol.allow:: If set, provide a user defined default policy for all protocols which don't explicitly have a policy (`protocol.<name>.allow`). By default, if unset, known-safe protocols (http, https, git, ssh, file) have a default policy of `always`, known-dangerous protocols (ext) have a default policy of `never`, and all other protocols have a default policy of `user`. Supported policies: + -- * `always` - protocol is always able to be used. * `never` - protocol is never able to be used. * `user` - protocol is only able to be used when `GIT_PROTOCOL_FROM_USER` is either unset or has a value of 1. This policy should be used when you want a protocol to be directly usable by the user but don't want it used by commands which execute clone/fetch/push commands without user input, e.g. recursive submodule initialization. -- protocol.<name>.allow:: Set a policy to be used by protocol `<name>` with clone/fetch/push commands. See `protocol.allow` above for the available policies. + The protocol names currently used by git are: + -- - `file`: any local file-based path (including `file://` URLs, or local paths) - `git`: the anonymous git protocol over a direct TCP connection (or proxy, if configured) - `ssh`: git over ssh (including `host:path` syntax, `ssh://`, etc). - `http`: git over http, both "smart http" and "dumb http". Note that this does _not_ include `https`; if you want to configure both, you must do so individually. - any external helpers are named by their protocol (e.g., use `hg` to allow the `git-remote-hg` helper) -- protocol.version:: If set, clients will attempt to communicate with a server using the specified protocol version. If the server does not support it, communication falls back to version 0. If unset, the default is `0`, unless `feature.experimental` is enabled, in which case the default is `2`. Supported versions: + -- * `0` - the original wire protocol. * `1` - the original wire protocol with the addition of a version string in the initial response from the server. * `2` - link:technical/protocol-v2.html[wire protocol version 2]. --
