       git - the stupid content tracker

           [--exec-path[=<path>]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path]

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
       Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
       unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and
       full access to internals.

       See ggiittttuuttoorriiaall(7) to get started, then see ggiitteevveerryyddaayy(7) for a useful
       minimum set of commands. The GGiitt UUsseerr’’ss MMaannuuaall[1] has a more in-depth
       introduction.

       After you mastered the basic concepts, you can come back to this page
       to learn what commands Git offers. You can learn more about individual
       Git commands with "git help command". ggiittccllii(7) manual page gives you
       an overview of the command-line command syntax.

       A formatted and hyperlinked copy of the latest Git documentation can be
       viewed at hhttttppss::////ggiitt..ggiitthhuubb..iioo//hhttmmllddooccss//ggiitt..hhttmmll.

OOPPTTIIOONNSS
       --version
           Prints the Git suite version that the _g_i_t program came from.

       --help
           Prints the synopsis and a list of the most commonly used commands.
           If the option ----aallll or --aa is given then all available commands are
           printed. If a Git command is named this option will bring up the
           manual page for that command.

           Other options are available to control how the manual page is
           displayed. See ggiitt--hheellpp(1) for more information, because ggiitt ----hheellpp
           ......  is converted internally into ggiitt hheellpp .......

       -C <path>
           Run as if git was started in _<_p_a_t_h_> instead of the current working
           directory. When multiple --CC options are given, each subsequent
           non-absolute --CC <<ppaatthh>> is interpreted relative to the preceding --CC
           <<ppaatthh>>.

           This option affects options that expect path name like ----ggiitt--ddiirr
           and ----wwoorrkk--ttrreeee in that their interpretations of the path names
           would be made relative to the working directory caused by the --CC
           option. For example the following invocations are equivalent:

               git --git-dir=a.git --work-tree=b -C c status
               git --git-dir=c/a.git --work-tree=c/b status

       -c <name>=<value>
           Pass a configuration parameter to the command. The value given will
           override values from configuration files. The <name> is expected in
           the same format as listed by _g_i_t _c_o_n_f_i_g (subkeys separated by
           dots).

           Note that omitting the == in ggiitt --cc ffoooo..bbaarr ......  is allowed and sets
           ffoooo..bbaarr to the boolean true value (just like [[ffoooo]]bbaarr would in a
           config file). Including the equals but with an empty value (like
           ggiitt --cc ffoooo..bbaarr== ......) sets ffoooo..bbaarr to the empty string which ggiitt
           ccoonnffiigg ----bbooooll will convert to ffaallssee.

       --exec-path[=<path>]
           Path to wherever your core Git programs are installed. This can
           also be controlled by setting the GIT_EXEC_PATH environment
           variable. If no path is given, _g_i_t will print the current setting
           and then exit.

       --html-path
           Print the path, without trailing slash, where Git’s HTML
           documentation is installed and exit.

       --man-path
           Print the manpath (see mmaann((11))) for the man pages for this version
           of Git and exit.

       --info-path
           Print the path where the Info files documenting this version of Git
           are installed and exit.

       -p, --paginate
           Pipe all output into _l_e_s_s (or if set, $PAGER) if standard output is
           a terminal. This overrides the ppaaggeerr..<<ccmmdd>> configuration options
           (see the "Configuration Mechanism" section below).

       --no-pager
           Do not pipe Git output into a pager.

       --git-dir=<path>
           Set the path to the repository. This can also be controlled by
           setting the GGIITT__DDIIRR environment variable. It can be an absolute
           path or relative path to current working directory.

       --work-tree=<path>
           Set the path to the working tree. It can be an absolute path or a
           path relative to the current working directory. This can also be
           controlled by setting the GIT_WORK_TREE environment variable and
           the core.worktree configuration variable (see core.worktree in ggiitt--
           ccoonnffiigg(1) for a more detailed discussion).

       --namespace=<path>
           Set the Git namespace. See ggiittnnaammeessppaacceess(7) for more details.
           Equivalent to setting the GGIITT__NNAAMMEESSPPAACCEE environment variable.

       --super-prefix=<path>
           Currently for internal use only. Set a prefix which gives a path
           from above a repository down to its root. One use is to give
           submodules context about the superproject that invoked it.

       --bare
           Treat the repository as a bare repository. If GIT_DIR environment
           is not set, it is set to the current working directory.

       --no-replace-objects
           Do not use replacement refs to replace Git objects. See ggiitt--
           rreeppllaaccee(1) for more information.

       --literal-pathspecs
           Treat pathspecs literally (i.e. no globbing, no pathspec magic).
           This is equivalent to setting the GGIITT__LLIITTEERRAALL__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS environment
           variable to 11.

       --glob-pathspecs
           Add "glob" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting the
           GGIITT__GGLLOOBB__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS environment variable to 11. Disabling globbing on
           individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec magic ":(literal)"

       --noglob-pathspecs
           Add "literal" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
           the GGIITT__NNOOGGLLOOBB__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS environment variable to 11. Enabling
           globbing on individual pathspecs can be done using pathspec magic
           ":(glob)"

       --icase-pathspecs
           Add "icase" magic to all pathspec. This is equivalent to setting
           the GGIITT__IICCAASSEE__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS environment variable to 11.

       --no-optional-locks
           Do not perform optional operations that require locks. This is
           equivalent to setting the GGIITT__OOPPTTIIOONNAALL__LLOOCCKKSS to 00.

LLOOWW--LLEEVVEELL CCOOMMMMAANNDDSS ((PPLLUUMMBBIINNGG))
       Although Git includes its own porcelain layer, its low-level commands
       are sufficient to support development of alternative porcelains.
       Developers of such porcelains might start by reading about ggiitt--uuppddaattee--
       iinnddeexx(1) and ggiitt--rreeaadd--ttrreeee(1).

       The interface (input, output, set of options and the semantics) to
       these low-level commands are meant to be a lot more stable than
       Porcelain level commands, because these commands are primarily for
       scripted use. The interface to Porcelain commands on the other hand are
       subject to change in order to improve the end user experience.

       The following description divides the low-level commands into commands
       that manipulate objects (in the repository, index, and working tree),
       commands that interrogate and compare objects, and commands that move
       objects and references between repositories.

   MMaanniippuullaattiioonn ccoommmmaannddss
       ggiitt--aappppllyy(1)

CCOONNFFIIGGUURRAATTIIOONN MMEECCHHAANNIISSMM
       Git uses a simple text format to store customizations that are per
       repository and are per user. Such a configuration file may look like
       this:

           #
           # A '#' or ';' character indicates a comment.
           #

           ; core variables
           [core]
                   ; Don't trust file modes
                   filemode = false

           ; user identity
           [user]
                   name = "Junio C Hamano"
                   email = "gitster@pobox.com"

       Various commands read from the configuration file and adjust their
       operation accordingly. See ggiitt--ccoonnffiigg(1) for a list and more details
       about the configuration mechanism.

IIDDEENNTTIIFFIIEERR TTEERRMMIINNOOLLOOGGYY
       <object>
           Indicates the object name for any type of object.

       <blob>
           Indicates a blob object name.

       <tree>
           Indicates a tree object name.

       <commit>
           Indicates a commit object name.

       <tree-ish>
           Indicates a tree, commit or tag object name. A command that takes a
           <tree-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <tree> object
           but automatically dereferences <commit> and <tag> objects that
           point at a <tree>.

       <commit-ish>
           Indicates a commit or tag object name. A command that takes a
           <commit-ish> argument ultimately wants to operate on a <commit>
           object but automatically dereferences <tag> objects that point at a
           <commit>.

       <type>
           Indicates that an object type is required. Currently one of: bblloobb,
           ttrreeee, ccoommmmiitt, or ttaagg.

       <file>
           Indicates a filename - almost always relative to the root of the

SSYYMMBBOOLLIICC IIDDEENNTTIIFFIIEERRSS
       Any Git command accepting any <object> can also use the following
       symbolic notation:

       HEAD
           indicates the head of the current branch.

       <tag>
           a valid tag _n_a_m_e (i.e. a rreeffss//ttaaggss//<<ttaagg>> reference).

       <head>
           a valid head _n_a_m_e (i.e. a rreeffss//hheeaaddss//<<hheeaadd>> reference).

EENNVVIIRROONNMMEENNTT VVAARRIIAABBLLEESS
       Various Git commands use the following environment variables:

   TThhee GGiitt RReeppoossiittoorryy
       These environment variables apply to _a_l_l core Git commands. Nb: it is
       worth noting that they may be used/overridden by SCMS sitting above Git
       so take care if using a foreign front-end.

       GGIITT__IINNDDEEXX__FFIILLEE
           This environment allows the specification of an alternate index
           file. If not specified, the default of $$GGIITT__DDIIRR//iinnddeexx is used.

       GGIITT__IINNDDEEXX__VVEERRSSIIOONN
           This environment variable allows the specification of an index
           version for new repositories. It won’t affect existing index files.
           By default index file version 2 or 3 is used. See ggiitt--uuppddaattee--
           iinnddeexx(1) for more information.

       GGIITT__OOBBJJEECCTT__DDIIRREECCTTOORRYY
           If the object storage directory is specified via this environment
           variable then the sha1 directories are created underneath -
           otherwise the default $$GGIITT__DDIIRR//oobbjjeeccttss directory is used.

       GGIITT__AALLTTEERRNNAATTEE__OOBBJJEECCTT__DDIIRREECCTTOORRIIEESS
           Due to the immutable nature of Git objects, old objects can be
           archived into shared, read-only directories. This variable
           specifies a ":" separated (on Windows ";" separated) list of Git
           object directories which can be used to search for Git objects. New
           objects will not be written to these directories.

               Entries that begin with `"` (double-quote) will be interpreted
               as C-style quoted paths, removing leading and trailing
               double-quotes and respecting backslash escapes. E.g., the value
               `"path-with-\"-and-:-in-it":vanilla-path` has two paths:
               `path-with-"-and-:-in-it` and `vanilla-path`.

       GGIITT__DDIIRR
           If the GGIITT__DDIIRR environment variable is set then it specifies a path
           to use instead of the default ..ggiitt for the base of the repository.
           The ----ggiitt--ddiirr command-line option also sets this value.

       GGIITT__WWOORRKK__TTRREEEE
           Set the path to the root of the working tree. This can also be
           controlled by the ----wwoorrkk--ttrreeee command-line option and the
           core.worktree configuration variable.

       GGIITT__NNAAMMEESSPPAACCEE
           Set the Git namespace; see ggiittnnaammeessppaacceess(7) for details. The
           ----nnaammeessppaaccee command-line option also sets this value.

       GGIITT__CCEEIILLIINNGG__DDIIRREECCTTOORRIIEESS
           This should be a colon-separated list of absolute paths. If set, it
           is a list of directories that Git should not chdir up into while
           looking for a repository directory (useful for excluding
           slow-loading network directories). It will not exclude the current
           working directory or a GIT_DIR set on the command line or in the
           environment. Normally, Git has to read the entries in this list and
           resolve any symlink that might be present in order to compare them
           with the current directory. However, if even this access is slow,
           you can add an empty entry to the list to tell Git that the
           subsequent entries are not symlinks and needn’t be resolved; e.g.,
           GGIITT__CCEEIILLIINNGG__DDIIRREECCTTOORRIIEESS==//mmaayybbee//ssyymmlliinnkk:::://vveerryy//ssllooww//nnoonn//ssyymmlliinnkk.

       GGIITT__DDIISSCCOOVVEERRYY__AACCRROOSSSS__FFIILLEESSYYSSTTEEMM
           When run in a directory that does not have ".git" repository
           directory, Git tries to find such a directory in the parent
           directories to find the top of the working tree, but by default it
           does not cross filesystem boundaries. This environment variable can
           be set to true to tell Git not to stop at filesystem boundaries.
           Like GGIITT__CCEEIILLIINNGG__DDIIRREECCTTOORRIIEESS, this will not affect an explicit
           repository directory set via GGIITT__DDIIRR or on the command line.

       GGIITT__CCOOMMMMOONN__DDIIRR
           If this variable is set to a path, non-worktree files that are
           normally in $GIT_DIR will be taken from this path instead.
           Worktree-specific files such as HEAD or index are taken from
           $GIT_DIR. See ggiittrreeppoossiittoorryy--llaayyoouutt(5) and ggiitt--wwoorrkkttrreeee(1) for
           details. This variable has lower precedence than other path
           variables such as GIT_INDEX_FILE, GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY...

   GGiitt DDiiffffss
       GGIITT__DDIIFFFF__OOPPTTSS
           Only valid setting is "--unified=??" or "-u??" to set the number of
           context lines shown when a unified diff is created. This takes
           precedence over any "-U" or "--unified" option value passed on the
           Git diff command line.

       GGIITT__EEXXTTEERRNNAALL__DDIIFFFF
           When the environment variable GGIITT__EEXXTTEERRNNAALL__DDIIFFFF is set, the program
           named by it is called, instead of the diff invocation described
           above. For a path that is added, removed, or modified,
           GGIITT__EEXXTTEERRNNAALL__DDIIFFFF is called with 7 parameters:

               path old-file old-hex old-mode new-file new-hex new-mode

           where:

       <old|new>-file
           are files GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF can use to read the contents of
           <old|new>,

       <old|new>-hex
           are the 40-hexdigit SHA-1 hashes,

       <old|new>-mode
           are the octal representation of the file modes.

           The file parameters can point at the user’s working file (e.g.
           nneeww--ffiillee in "git-diff-files"), //ddeevv//nnuullll (e.g.  oolldd--ffiillee when a new
           file is added), or a temporary file (e.g.  oolldd--ffiillee in the index).
           GGIITT__EEXXTTEERRNNAALL__DDIIFFFF should not worry about unlinking the temporary
           file --- it is removed when GGIITT__EEXXTTEERRNNAALL__DDIIFFFF exits.

           For a path that is unmerged, GGIITT__EEXXTTEERRNNAALL__DDIIFFFF is called with 1
           parameter, <path>.

           For each path GGIITT__EEXXTTEERRNNAALL__DDIIFFFF is called, two environment
           variables, GGIITT__DDIIFFFF__PPAATTHH__CCOOUUNNTTEERR and GGIITT__DDIIFFFF__PPAATTHH__TTOOTTAALL are set.

       GGIITT__DDIIFFFF__PPAATTHH__CCOOUUNNTTEERR
           A 1-based counter incremented by one for every path.

       GGIITT__DDIIFFFF__PPAATTHH__TTOOTTAALL
           The total number of paths.

   ootthheerr
       GGIITT__MMEERRGGEE__VVEERRBBOOSSIITTYY
           A number controlling the amount of output shown by the recursive
           merge strategy. Overrides merge.verbosity. See ggiitt--mmeerrggee(1)

       GGIITT__PPAAGGEERR
           This environment variable overrides $$PPAAGGEERR. If it is set to an
           empty string or to the value "cat", Git will not launch a pager.
           See also the ccoorree..ppaaggeerr option in ggiitt--ccoonnffiigg(1).

       GGIITT__EEDDIITTOORR
           This environment variable overrides $$EEDDIITTOORR and $$VVIISSUUAALL. It is used
           by several Git commands when, on interactive mode, an editor is to
           be launched. See also ggiitt--vvaarr(1) and the ccoorree..eeddiittoorr option in ggiitt--
           ccoonnffiigg(1).

       GGIITT__SSSSHH, GGIITT__SSSSHH__CCOOMMMMAANNDD
           If either of these environment variables is set then _g_i_t _f_e_t_c_h and
           _g_i_t _p_u_s_h will use the specified command instead of _s_s_h when they
           need to connect to a remote system. The command-line parameters
           passed to the configured command are determined by the ssh variant.
           See sssshh..vvaarriiaanntt option in ggiitt--ccoonnffiigg(1) for details.

       + $$GGIITT__SSSSHH__CCOOMMMMAANNDD takes precedence over $$GGIITT__SSSSHH, and is interpreted
       by the shell, which allows additional arguments to be included.
       $$GGIITT__SSSSHH on the other hand must be just the path to a program (which
       can be a wrapper shell script, if additional arguments are needed).

       + Usually it is easier to configure any desired options through your
       personal ..sssshh//ccoonnffiigg file. Please consult your ssh documentation for
       further details.

       GGIITT__SSSSHH__VVAARRIIAANNTT
           If this environment variable is set, it overrides Git’s
           autodetection whether GGIITT__SSSSHH/GGIITT__SSSSHH__CCOOMMMMAANNDD/ccoorree..sssshhCCoommmmaanndd refer
           to OpenSSH, plink or tortoiseplink. This variable overrides the
           config setting sssshh..vvaarriiaanntt that serves the same purpose.

       GGIITT__AASSKKPPAASSSS
           If this environment variable is set, then Git commands which need
           to acquire passwords or passphrases (e.g. for HTTP or IMAP
           authentication) will call this program with a suitable prompt as
           command-line argument and read the password from its STDOUT. See
           also the ccoorree..aasskkPPaassss option in ggiitt--ccoonnffiigg(1).

       GGIITT__TTEERRMMIINNAALL__PPRROOMMPPTT
           If this environment variable is set to 00, git will not prompt on
           the terminal (e.g., when asking for HTTP authentication).

       GGIITT__CCOONNFFIIGG__NNOOSSYYSSTTEEMM
           Whether to skip reading settings from the system-wide
           $$((pprreeffiixx))//eettcc//ggiittccoonnffiigg file. This environment variable can be used
           along with $$HHOOMMEE and $$XXDDGG__CCOONNFFIIGG__HHOOMMEE to create a predictable
           environment for a picky script, or you can set it temporarily to
           avoid using a buggy //eettcc//ggiittccoonnffiigg file while waiting for someone
           with sufficient permissions to fix it.

       GGIITT__FFLLUUSSHH
           If this environment variable is set to "1", then commands such as
           _g_i_t _b_l_a_m_e (in incremental mode), _g_i_t _r_e_v_-_l_i_s_t, _g_i_t _l_o_g, _g_i_t
           _c_h_e_c_k_-_a_t_t_r and _g_i_t _c_h_e_c_k_-_i_g_n_o_r_e will force a flush of the output
           stream after each record have been flushed. If this variable is set
           to "0", the output of these commands will be done using completely
           buffered I/O. If this environment variable is not set, Git will
           choose buffered or record-oriented flushing based on whether stdout
           appears to be redirected to a file or not.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE
           Enables general trace messages, e.g. alias expansion, built-in
           command execution and external command execution.

           If this variable is set to "1", "2" or "true" (comparison is case
           insensitive), trace messages will be printed to stderr.

           If the variable is set to an integer value greater than 2 and lower
           than 10 (strictly) then Git will interpret this value as an open
           file descriptor and will try to write the trace messages into this
           file descriptor.

           Alternatively, if the variable is set to an absolute path (starting
           with a _/ character), Git will interpret this as a file path and
           will try to write the trace messages into it.

           Unsetting the variable, or setting it to empty, "0" or "false"
           (case insensitive) disables trace messages.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__FFSSMMOONNIITTOORR
           Enables trace messages for the filesystem monitor extension. See
           GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE for available trace output options.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__PPAACCKK__AACCCCEESSSS
           Enables trace messages for all accesses to any packs. For each
           access, the pack file name and an offset in the pack is recorded.
           This may be helpful for troubleshooting some pack-related
           performance problems. See GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE for available trace output
           options.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__PPAACCKKEETT
           Enables trace messages for all packets coming in or out of a given
           program. This can help with debugging object negotiation or other
           protocol issues. Tracing is turned off at a packet starting with
           "PACK" (but see GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__PPAACCKKFFIILLEE below). See GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE for
           available trace output options.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__PPAACCKKFFIILLEE
           Enables tracing of packfiles sent or received by a given program.
           Unlike other trace output, this trace is verbatim: no headers, and
           no quoting of binary data. You almost certainly want to direct into
           a file (e.g., GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__PPAACCKKFFIILLEE==//ttmmpp//mmyy..ppaacckk) rather than
           displaying it on the terminal or mixing it with other trace output.

           Note that this is currently only implemented for the client side of
           clones and fetches.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__PPEERRFFOORRMMAANNCCEE
           Enables performance related trace messages, e.g. total execution
           time of each Git command. See GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE for available trace output
           options.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__SSEETTUUPP
           Enables trace messages printing the .git, working tree and current
           working directory after Git has completed its setup phase. See
           GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE for available trace output options.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__SSHHAALLLLOOWW
           Enables trace messages that can help debugging fetching / cloning
           of shallow repositories. See GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE for available trace output
           options.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__CCUURRLL
           Enables a curl full trace dump of all incoming and outgoing data,
           including descriptive information, of the git transport protocol.
           This is similar to doing curl ----ttrraaccee--aasscciiii on the command line.
           This option overrides setting the GGIITT__CCUURRLL__VVEERRBBOOSSEE environment
           variable. See GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE for available trace output options.

       GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__CCUURRLL__NNOO__DDAATTAA
           When a curl trace is enabled (see GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__CCUURRLL above), do not
           dump data (that is, only dump info lines and headers).

       GGIITT__RREEDDAACCTT__CCOOOOKKIIEESS
           This can be set to a comma-separated list of strings. When a curl
           trace is enabled (see GGIITT__TTRRAACCEE__CCUURRLL above), whenever a "Cookies:"
           header sent by the client is dumped, values of cookies whose key is
           in that list (case-sensitive) are redacted.

       GGIITT__LLIITTEERRAALL__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS
           Setting this variable to 11 will cause Git to treat all pathspecs
           literally, rather than as glob patterns. For example, running
           GGIITT__LLIITTEERRAALL__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS==11 ggiitt lloogg ---- ''**..cc'' will search for commits
           that touch the path **..cc, not any paths that the glob **..cc matches.
           You might want this if you are feeding literal paths to Git (e.g.,
           paths previously given to you by ggiitt llss--ttrreeee, ----rraaww diff output,
           etc).

       GGIITT__GGLLOOBB__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS
           Setting this variable to 11 will cause Git to treat all pathspecs as
           glob patterns (aka "glob" magic).

       GGIITT__NNOOGGLLOOBB__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS
           Setting this variable to 11 will cause Git to treat all pathspecs as
           literal (aka "literal" magic).

       GGIITT__IICCAASSEE__PPAATTHHSSPPEECCSS
           Setting this variable to 11 will cause Git to treat all pathspecs as
           case-insensitive.

       GGIITT__RREEFFLLOOGG__AACCTTIIOONN
           When a ref is updated, reflog entries are created to keep track of
           the reason why the ref was updated (which is typically the name of
           the high-level command that updated the ref), in addition to the
           old and new values of the ref. A scripted Porcelain command can use
           set_reflog_action helper function in ggiitt--sshh--sseettuupp to set its name
           to this variable when it is invoked as the top level command by the
           end user, to be recorded in the body of the reflog.

       GGIITT__RREEFF__PPAARRAANNOOIIAA
           If set to 11, include broken or badly named refs when iterating over
           lists of refs. In a normal, non-corrupted repository, this does
           nothing. However, enabling it may help git to detect and abort some
           operations in the presence of broken refs. Git sets this variable
           automatically when performing destructive operations like ggiitt--
           pprruunnee(1). You should not need to set it yourself unless you want to
           be paranoid about making sure an operation has touched every ref
           (e.g., because you are cloning a repository to make a backup).

       GGIITT__AALLLLOOWW__PPRROOTTOOCCOOLL
           If set to a colon-separated list of protocols, behave as if
           pprroottooccooll..aallllooww is set to nneevveerr, and each of the listed protocols
           has pprroottooccooll..<<nnaammee>>..aallllooww set to aallwwaayyss (overriding any existing
           configuration). In other words, any protocol not mentioned will be
           disallowed (i.e., this is a whitelist, not a blacklist). See the
           description of pprroottooccooll..aallllooww in ggiitt--ccoonnffiigg(1) for more details.

       GGIITT__PPRROOTTOOCCOOLL__FFRROOMM__UUSSEERR
           Set to 0 to prevent protocols used by fetch/push/clone which are
           configured to the uusseerr state. This is useful to restrict recursive
           submodule initialization from an untrusted repository or for
           programs which feed potentially-untrusted URLS to git commands. See
           ggiitt--ccoonnffiigg(1) for more details.

       GGIITT__PPRROOTTOOCCOOLL
           For internal use only. Used in handshaking the wire protocol.
           Contains a colon _: separated list of keys with optional values
           _k_e_y_[_=_v_a_l_u_e_]. Presence of unknown keys and values must be ignored.

       GGIITT__OOPPTTIIOONNAALL__LLOOCCKKSS
           If set to 00, Git will complete any requested operation without
           performing any optional sub-operations that require taking a lock.
           For example, this will prevent ggiitt ssttaattuuss from refreshing the index
           as a side effect. This is useful for processes running in the
           background which do not want to cause lock contention with other
           operations on the repository. Defaults to 11.

       GGIITT__RREEDDIIRREECCTT__SSTTDDIINN, GGIITT__RREEDDIIRREECCTT__SSTTDDOOUUTT, GGIITT__RREEDDIIRREECCTT__SSTTDDEERRRR
           Windows-only: allow redirecting the standard input/output/error
           handles to paths specified by the environment variables. This is
           particularly useful in multi-threaded applications where the
           canonical way to pass standard handles via CCrreeaatteePPrroocceessss(()) is not
           an option because it would require the handles to be marked
           inheritable (and consequently eevveerryy spawned process would inherit
           them, possibly blocking regular Git operations). The primary
           intended use case is to use named pipes for communication (e.g.
           \\\\..\\ppiippee\\mmyy--ggiitt--ssttddiinn--112233).

           Two special values are supported: ooffff will simply close the
           corresponding standard handle, and if GGIITT__RREEDDIIRREECCTT__SSTTDDEERRRR is 22>>&&11,
           standard error will be redirected to the same handle as standard
           output.

       GGIITT__PPRRIINNTT__SSHHAA11__EELLLLIIPPSSIISS (deprecated)
           If set to yyeess, print an ellipsis following an (abbreviated) SHA-1
           value. This affects indications of detached HEADs (ggiitt--cchheecckkoouutt(1))
           and the raw diff output (ggiitt--ddiiffff(1)). Printing an ellipsis in the
           cases mentioned is no longer considered adequate and support for it
           is likely to be removed in the foreseeable future (along with the
           variable).

DDIISSCCUUSSSSIIOONN
       More detail on the following is available from the GGiitt ccoonncceeppttss cchhaapptteerr
       ooff tthhee uusseerr--mmaannuuaall[2] and ggiittccoorree--ttuuttoorriiaall(7).

       A Git project normally consists of a working directory with a ".git"
       subdirectory at the top level. The .git directory contains, among other
       things, a compressed object database representing the complete history
       of the project, an "index" file which links that history to the current
       contents of the working tree, and named pointers into that history such
       as tags and branch heads.

       The object database contains objects of three main types: blobs, which
       hold file data; trees, which point to blobs and other trees to build up
       directory hierarchies; and commits, which each reference a single tree
       and some number of parent commits.

       The commit, equivalent to what other systems call a "changeset" or
       "version", represents a step in the project’s history, and each parent
       represents an immediately preceding step. Commits with more than one
       parent represent merges of independent lines of development.

       All objects are named by the SHA-1 hash of their contents, normally
       written as a string of 40 hex digits. Such names are globally unique.
       The entire history leading up to a commit can be vouched for by signing
       just that commit. A fourth object type, the tag, is provided for this
       purpose.

       When first created, objects are stored in individual files, but for
       efficiency may later be compressed together into "pack files".

       Named pointers called refs mark interesting points in history. A ref
       may contain the SHA-1 name of an object or the name of another ref.
       Refs with names beginning rreeff//hheeaadd// contain the SHA-1 name of the most
       recent commit (or "head") of a branch under development. SHA-1 names of
       tags of interest are stored under rreeff//ttaaggss//. A special ref named HHEEAADD
       contains the name of the currently checked-out branch.

       The index file is initialized with a list of all paths and, for each
       path, a blob object and a set of attributes. The blob object represents
       the contents of the file as of the head of the current branch. The
       attributes (last modified time, size, etc.) are taken from the
       corresponding file in the working tree. Subsequent changes to the
       working tree can be found by comparing these attributes. The index may
       be updated with new content, and new commits may be created from the
       content stored in the index.

       The index is also capable of storing multiple entries (called "stages")
       for a given pathname. These stages are used to hold the various
       unmerged version of a file when a merge is in progress.
