string `none` can be used as the proxy command to
specify that no proxy be used for a given domain pattern.
This is useful for excluding servers inside a firewall from
proxy use, while defaulting to a common proxy for external domains.
core.sshCommand::
If this variable is set, `git fetch` and `git push` will
use the specified command instead of `ssh` when they need to
connect to a remote system. The command is in the same form as
the `GIT_SSH_COMMAND` environment variable and is overridden
when the environment variable is set.
core.ignoreStat::
If true, Git will avoid using lstat() calls to detect if files have
changed by setting the "assume-unchanged" bit for those tracked files
which it has updated identically in both the index and working tree.
+
When files are modified outside of Git, the user will need to stage
the modified files explicitly (e.g. see 'Examples' section in
linkgit:git-update-index[1]).
Git will not normally detect changes to those files.
+
This is useful on systems where lstat() calls are very slow, such as
CIFS/Microsoft Windows.
+
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.alternateRefsCommand::
When advertising tips of available history from an alternate, use the shell to
execute the specified command instead of linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. The
first argument is the absolute path of the alternate. Output must contain one
hex object id per line (i.e., the same as produced by `git for-each-ref
--format='%(objectname)'`).
+
Note that you cannot generally put `git for-each-ref` directly into the config
value, as it does not take a repository path as an argument (but you can wrap
the command above in a shell script).
core.alternateRefsPrefixes::
When listing references from an alternate, list only references that begin
with the given prefix. Prefixes match as if they were given as arguments to
linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1]. To list multiple prefixes, separate them with
whitespace. If `core.alternateRefsCommand` is set, setting
`core.alternateRefsPrefixes` has no effect.
core.bare::
If true this repository is assumed to be 'bare' and has no
working directory associated with it. If this is the case a
number of commands that require a working directory will be
disabled, such as linkgit:git-add[1] or linkgit:git-merge[1].
+
This setting is automatically guessed by linkgit:git-clone[1] or
linkgit:git-init[1] when the repository was created. By default a
repository that ends in "/.git" is assumed to be not bare (bare =
false), while all other repositories are assumed to be bare (bare
= true).
core.worktree::
Set the path to the root of the working tree.
If `GIT_COMMON_DIR` environment variable is set, core.worktree
is ignored and not used for determining the root of working tree.
This can be overridden by the `GIT_WORK_TREE` environment
variable and the `--work-tree` command-line option.
The value can be an absolute path or relative to the path to
the .git directory, which is either specified by --git-dir
or GIT_DIR, or automatically discovered.
If --git-dir or GIT_DIR is specified but none of
--work-tree, GIT_WORK_TREE and core.worktree is specified,
the current working directory is regarded as the top level
of your working tree.
+
Note that this variable is honored even when set in a configuration
file in a ".git" subdirectory of a directory and its value differs
from the latter directory (e.g. "/path/to/.git/config" has
core.worktree set to "/different/path"), which is most likely a
misconfiguration. Running Git commands in the "/path/to" directory will
still use "/different/path" as the root of the work tree and can cause
confusion unless you know what you are doing (e.g. you are creating a
read-only snapshot of the same index to a location different from the
repository's
