highlight them, and 'git apply --whitespace=error' will
consider them as errors. You can prefix `-` to disable
any of them (e.g. `-trailing-space`):
+
* `blank-at-eol` treats trailing whitespaces at the end of the line
as an error (enabled by default).
* `space-before-tab` treats a space character that appears immediately
before a tab character in the initial indent part of the line as an
error (enabled by default).
* `indent-with-non-tab` treats a line that is indented with space
characters instead of the equivalent tabs as an error (not enabled by
default).
* `tab-in-indent` treats a tab character in the initial indent part of
the line as an error (not enabled by default).
* `blank-at-eof` treats blank lines added at the end of file as an error
(enabled by default).
* `trailing-space` is a short-hand to cover both `blank-at-eol` and
`blank-at-eof`.
* `cr-at-eol` treats a carriage-return at the end of line as
part of the line terminator, i.e. with it, `trailing-space`
does not trigger if the character before such a carriage-return
is not a whitespace (not enabled by default).
* `tabwidth=<n>` tells how many character positions a tab occupies; this
is relevant for `indent-with-non-tab` and when Git fixes `tab-in-indent`
errors. The default tab width is 8. Allowed values are 1 to 63.
core.fsync::
A comma-separated list of components of the repository that
should be hardened via the core.fsyncMethod when created or
modified. You can disable hardening of any component by
prefixing it with a '-'. Items that are not hardened may be
lost in the event of an unclean system shutdown. Unless you
have special requirements, it is recommended that you leave
this option empty or pick one of `committed`, `added`,
or `all`.
+
When this configuration is encountered, the set of components starts with
the platform default value, disabled components are removed, and additional
components are added. `none` resets the state so that the platform default
is ignored.
+
The empty string resets the fsync configuration to the platform
default. The default on most platforms is equivalent to
`core.fsync=committed,-loose-object`, which has good performance,
but risks losing recent work in the event of an unclean system shutdown.
+
* `none` clears the set of fsynced components.
* `loose-object` hardens objects added to the repo in loose-object form.
* `pack` hardens objects added to the repo in packfile form.
* `pack-metadata` hardens packfile bitmaps and indexes.
* `commit-graph` hardens the commit-graph file.
* `index` hardens the index when it is modified.
* `objects` is an aggregate option that is equivalent to
`loose-object,pack`.
* `reference` hardens references modified in the repo.
* `derived-metadata` is an aggregate option that is equivalent to
`pack-metadata,commit-graph`.
* `committed` is an aggregate option that is currently equivalent to
`objects`. This mode sacrifices some performance to ensure that work
that is committed to the repository with `git commit` or similar commands
is hardened.
* `added` is an aggregate option that is currently equivalent to
`committed,index`. This mode sacrifices additional performance to
ensure that the results of commands like `git add` and similar operations
are hardened.
* `all` is an aggregate option that syncs all individual components above.
core.fsyncMethod::
A value indicating the strategy Git will use to harden repository data
using fsync and related primitives.
+
* `fsync` uses the fsync() system call or platform equivalents.
* `writeout-only` issues pagecache writeback requests, but depending on the
filesystem and storage hardware, data added to the repository may not be
durable in the event of a system crash. This is the default mode on macOS.
* `batch` enables a mode that uses writeout-only flushes to stage multiple
updates in the disk writeback cache and then does a single full fsync of
a dummy file to trigger the disk cache flush at
