Documentation/config/status.txt

   1 status.relativePaths::
   2         By default, linkgit:git-status[1] shows paths relative to the
   3         current directory. Setting this variable to `false` shows paths
   4         relative to the repository root (this was the default for Git
   5         prior to v1.5.4).
   6
   7 status.short::
   8         Set to true to enable --short by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
   9         The option --no-short takes precedence over this variable.
  10
  11 status.branch::
  12         Set to true to enable --branch by default in linkgit:git-status[1].
  13         The option --no-branch takes precedence over this variable.
  14
  15 status.displayCommentPrefix::
  16         If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will insert a comment
  17         prefix before each output line (starting with
  18         `core.commentChar`, i.e. `#` by default). This was the
  19         behavior of linkgit:git-status[1] in Git 1.8.4 and previous.
  20         Defaults to false.
  21
  22 status.renameLimit::
  23         The number of files to consider when performing rename detection
  24         in linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1]. Defaults to
  25         the value of diff.renameLimit.
  26
  27 status.renames::
  28         Whether and how Git detects renames in linkgit:git-status[1] and
  29         linkgit:git-commit[1] .  If set to "false", rename detection is
  30         disabled. If set to "true", basic rename detection is enabled.
  31         If set to "copies" or "copy", Git will detect copies, as well.
  32         Defaults to the value of diff.renames.
  33
  34 status.showStash::
  35         If set to true, linkgit:git-status[1] will display the number of
  36         entries currently stashed away.
  37         Defaults to false.
  38
  39 status.showUntrackedFiles::
  40         By default, linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1] show
  41         files which are not currently tracked by Git. Directories which
  42         contain only untracked files, are shown with the directory name
  43         only. Showing untracked files means that Git needs to lstat() all
  44         the files in the whole repository, which might be slow on some
  45         systems. So, this variable controls how the commands displays
  46         the untracked files. Possible values are:
  47 +
  48 --
  49 * `no` - Show no untracked files.
  50 * `normal` - Show untracked files and directories.
  51 * `all` - Show also individual files in untracked directories.
  52 --
  53 +
  54 If this variable is not specified, it defaults to 'normal'.
  55 This variable can be overridden with the -u|--untracked-files option
  56 of linkgit:git-status[1] and linkgit:git-commit[1].
  57
  58 status.submoduleSummary::
  59         Defaults to false.
  60         If this is set to a non zero number or true (identical to -1 or an
  61         unlimited number), the submodule summary will be enabled and a
  62         summary of commits for modified submodules will be shown (see
  63         --summary-limit option of linkgit:git-submodule[1]). Please note
  64         that the summary output command will be suppressed for all
  65         submodules when `diff.ignoreSubmodules` is set to 'all' or only
  66         for those submodules where `submodule.<name>.ignore=all`. The only
  67         exception to that rule is that status and commit will show staged
  68         submodule changes. To
  69         also view the summary for ignored submodules you can either use
  70         the --ignore-submodules=dirty command-line option or the 'git
  71         submodule summary' command, which shows a similar output but does
  72         not honor these settings.
