| 1 | credential.helper:: |
| 2 | Specify an external helper to be called when a username or |
| 3 | password credential is needed; the helper may consult external |
| 4 | storage to avoid prompting the user for the credentials. This is |
| 5 | normally the name of a credential helper with possible |
| 6 | arguments, but may also be an absolute path with arguments or, if |
| 7 | preceded by `!`, shell commands. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | Note that multiple helpers may be defined. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] |
| 10 | for details and examples. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | credential.interactive:: |
| 13 | By default, Git and any configured credential helpers will ask for |
| 14 | user input when new credentials are required. Many of these helpers |
| 15 | will succeed based on stored credentials if those credentials are |
| 16 | still valid. To avoid the possibility of user interactivity from |
| 17 | Git, set `credential.interactive=false`. Some credential helpers |
| 18 | respect this option as well. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | credential.useHttpPath:: |
| 21 | When acquiring credentials, consider the "path" component of an http |
| 22 | or https URL to be important. Defaults to false. See |
| 23 | linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for more information. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | credential.sanitizePrompt:: |
| 26 | By default, user names and hosts that are shown as part of the |
| 27 | password prompt are not allowed to contain control characters (they |
| 28 | will be URL-encoded by default). Configure this setting to `false` to |
| 29 | override that behavior. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | credential.protectProtocol:: |
| 32 | By default, Carriage Return characters are not allowed in the protocol |
| 33 | that is used when Git talks to a credential helper. This setting allows |
| 34 | users to override this default. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | credential.username:: |
| 37 | If no username is set for a network authentication, use this username |
| 38 | by default. See credential.<context>.* below, and |
| 39 | linkgit:gitcredentials[7]. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | credential.<url>.*:: |
| 42 | Any of the credential.* options above can be applied selectively to |
| 43 | some credentials. For example, "credential.https://example.com.username" |
| 44 | would set the default username only for https connections to |
| 45 | example.com. See linkgit:gitcredentials[7] for details on how URLs are |
| 46 | matched. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP:: |
| 49 | Tell git-credential-cache--daemon to ignore SIGHUP, instead of quitting. |
| 50 | |
| 51 | credentialStore.lockTimeoutMS:: |
| 52 | The length of time, in milliseconds, for git-credential-store to retry |
| 53 | when trying to lock the credentials file. A value of 0 means not to retry at |
| 54 | all; -1 means to try indefinitely. Default is 1000 (i.e., retry for |
| 55 | 1s). |
