Raw
1 remote.pushDefault::
2 The remote to push to by default. Overrides
3 `branch.<name>.remote` for all branches, and is overridden by
4 `branch.<name>.pushRemote` for specific branches.
5
6 remote.<name>.url::
7 The URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-fetch[1] or
8 linkgit:git-push[1]. A configured remote can have multiple URLs;
9 in this case the first is used for fetching, and all are used
10 for pushing (assuming no `remote.<name>.pushurl` is defined).
11 Setting this key to the empty string clears the list of urls,
12 allowing you to override earlier config.
13
14 remote.<name>.pushurl::
15 The push URL of a remote repository. See linkgit:git-push[1].
16 If a `pushurl` option is present in a configured remote, it
17 is used for pushing instead of `remote.<name>.url`. A configured
18 remote can have multiple push URLs; in this case a push goes to
19 all of them. Setting this key to the empty string clears the
20 list of urls, allowing you to override earlier config.
21
22 remote.<name>.proxy::
23 For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the URL to
24 the proxy to use for that remote. Set to the empty string to
25 disable proxying for that remote.
26
27 remote.<name>.proxyAuthMethod::
28 For remotes that require curl (http, https and ftp), the method to use for
29 authenticating against the proxy in use (probably set in
30 `remote.<name>.proxy`). See `http.proxyAuthMethod`.
31
32 remote.<name>.fetch::
33 The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-fetch[1]. See
34 linkgit:git-fetch[1].
35
36 remote.<name>.push::
37 The default set of "refspec" for linkgit:git-push[1]. See
38 linkgit:git-push[1].
39
40 remote.<name>.mirror::
41 If true, pushing to this remote will automatically behave
42 as if the `--mirror` option was given on the command line.
43
44 remote.<name>.skipDefaultUpdate::
45 A deprecated synonym to `remote.<name>.skipFetchAll` (if
46 both are set in the configuration files with different
47 values, the value of the last occurrence will be used).
48
49 remote.<name>.skipFetchAll::
50 If true, this remote will be skipped when updating
51 using linkgit:git-fetch[1], the `update` subcommand of
52 linkgit:git-remote[1], and ignored by the prefetch task
53 of `git maintenance`.
54
55 remote.<name>.receivepack::
56 The default program to execute on the remote side when pushing. See
57 option --receive-pack of linkgit:git-push[1].
58
59 remote.<name>.uploadpack::
60 The default program to execute on the remote side when fetching. See
61 option --upload-pack of linkgit:git-fetch-pack[1].
62
63 remote.<name>.tagOpt::
64 Setting this value to --no-tags disables automatic tag following when
65 fetching from remote <name>. Setting it to --tags will fetch every
66 tag from remote <name>, even if they are not reachable from remote
67 branch heads. Passing these flags directly to linkgit:git-fetch[1] can
68 override this setting. See options --tags and --no-tags of
69 linkgit:git-fetch[1].
70
71 remote.<name>.vcs::
72 Setting this to a value <vcs> will cause Git to interact with
73 the remote with the git-remote-<vcs> helper.
74
75 remote.<name>.prune::
76 When set to true, fetching from this remote by default will also
77 remove any remote-tracking references that no longer exist on the
78 remote (as if the `--prune` option was given on the command line).
79 Overrides `fetch.prune` settings, if any.
80
81 remote.<name>.pruneTags::
82 When set to true, fetching from this remote by default will also
83 remove any local tags that no longer exist on the remote if pruning
84 is activated in general via `remote.<name>.prune`, `fetch.prune` or
85 `--prune`. Overrides `fetch.pruneTags` settings, if any.
86 +
87 See also `remote.<name>.prune` and the PRUNING section of
88 linkgit:git-fetch[1].
89
90 remote.<name>.promisor::
91 When set to true, this remote will be used to fetch promisor
92 objects.
93
94 remote.<name>.partialclonefilter::
95 The filter that will be applied when fetching from this promisor remote.
96 Changing or clearing this value will only affect fetches for new commits.
97 To fetch associated objects for commits already present in the local object
98 database, use the `--refetch` option of linkgit:git-fetch[1].
99
100 remote.<name>.serverOption::
101 The default set of server options used when fetching from this remote.
102 These server options can be overridden by the `--server-option=` command
103 line arguments.
104 +
105 This is a multi-valued variable, and an empty value can be used in a higher
106 priority configuration file (e.g. `.git/config` in a repository) to clear
107 the values inherited from a lower priority configuration files (e.g.
108 `$HOME/.gitconfig`).
109
110 remote.<name>.negotiationRestrict::
111 When negotiating with this remote during `git fetch`, restrict the
112 commits advertised as "have" lines to only those reachable from refs
113 matching the given patterns. This multi-valued config option behaves
114 like `--negotiation-restrict` on the command line.
115 +
116 Each value is either an exact ref name (e.g. `refs/heads/release`) or a
117 glob pattern (e.g. `refs/heads/release/*`). The pattern syntax is the
118 same as for `--negotiation-restrict`.
119 +
120 These config values are used as defaults for the `--negotiation-restrict`
121 command-line option. If `--negotiation-restrict` (or its synonym
122 `--negotiation-tip`) is specified on the command line, then the config
123 values are not used.
124 +
125 These values also influence negotiation during `git push` if
126 `push.negotiate` is enabled.
127 +
128 Blank values signal to ignore all previous values, allowing a reset of
129 the list from broader config scenarios.
130
131 remote.<name>.negotiationInclude::
132 When negotiating with this remote during `git fetch`, the client
133 advertises a list of commits that exist locally. In repos with
134 many references, this list of "haves" can be truncated. Depending
135 on data shape, dropping certain references may be expensive. This
136 multi-valued config option specifies references, commit hashes,
137 or ref pattern globs whose tips should always be sent as "have"
138 commits during fetch negotiation with this remote.
139 +
140 Each value is either an exact ref name (e.g. `refs/heads/release`), a
141 commit hash, or a glob pattern (e.g. `refs/heads/release/*`). The
142 pattern syntax is the same as for `--negotiation-include`.
143 +
144 These config values are used as defaults for the `--negotiation-include`
145 command-line option. If `--negotiation-include` is specified on the
146 command line, then the config values are not used.
147 +
148 This option is additive with the normal negotiation process: the
149 negotiation algorithm still runs and advertises its own selected commits,
150 but the refs matching `remote.<name>.negotiationInclude` are sent
151 unconditionally on top of those heuristically selected commits.
152 +
153 These values also influence negotiation during `git push` if
154 `push.negotiate` is enabled.
155 +
156 Blank values signal to ignore all previous values, allowing a reset of
157 the list from broader config scenarios.
158
159 remote.<name>.followRemoteHEAD::
160 How linkgit:git-fetch[1] should handle updates to `remotes/<name>/HEAD`
161 when fetching using the configured refspecs of a remote.
162 The default value is "create", which will create `remotes/<name>/HEAD`
163 if it exists on the remote, but not locally; this will not touch an
164 already existing local reference. Setting it to "warn" will print
165 a message if the remote has a different value than the local one;
166 in case there is no local reference, it behaves like "create".
167 A variant on "warn" is "warn-if-not-$branch", which behaves like
168 "warn", but if `HEAD` on the remote is `$branch` it will be silent.
169 Setting it to "always" will silently update `remotes/<name>/HEAD` to
170 the value on the remote. Finally, setting it to "never" will never
171 change or create the local reference.
