   4         can tell Git that you do not need help by setting these to 'false':

   9                 'pushNonFFCurrent',
  10                 'pushNonFFMatching', 'pushAlreadyExists',
  11                 'pushFetchFirst', and 'pushNeedsForce'

  14                 Advice shown when linkgit:git-push[1] fails due to a

  16         pushNonFFMatching::
  17                 Advice shown when you ran linkgit:git-push[1] and pushed
  18                 'matching refs' explicitly (i.e. you used ':', or
  19                 specified a refspec that isn't your current branch) and
  20                 it resulted in a non-fast-forward error.
  21         pushAlreadyExists::
  22                 Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  23                 does not qualify for fast-forwarding (e.g., a tag.)
  24         pushFetchFirst::
  25                 Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that

  27                 object we do not have.
  28         pushNeedsForce::
  29                 Shown when linkgit:git-push[1] rejects an update that
  30                 tries to overwrite a remote ref that points at an
  31                 object that is not a commit-ish, or make the remote
  32                 ref point at an object that is not a commit-ish.
  33         statusHints::
  34                 Show directions on how to proceed from the current
  35                 state in the output of linkgit:git-status[1], in
  36                 the template shown when writing commit messages in
  37                 linkgit:git-commit[1], and in the help message shown
  38                 by linkgit:git-checkout[1] when switching branch.
  39         statusUoption::
  40                 Advise to consider using the `-u` option to linkgit:git-status[1]
  41                 when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate untracked
  42                 files.
  43         commitBeforeMerge::
  44                 Advice shown when linkgit:git-merge[1] refuses to
  45                 merge to avoid overwriting local changes.
  46         resetQuiet::
  47                 Advice to consider using the `--quiet` option to linkgit:git-reset[1]
  48                 when the command takes more than 2 seconds to enumerate unstaged
  49                 changes after reset.

  53         implicitIdentity::
  54                 Advice on how to set your identity configuration when
  55                 your information is guessed from the system username and
  56                 domain name.
  57         detachedHead::
  58                 Advice shown when you used linkgit:git-checkout[1] to
  59                 move to the detach HEAD state, to instruct how to create
  60                 a local branch after the fact.
  61         checkoutAmbiguousRemoteBranchName::
  62                 Advice shown when the argument to
  63                 linkgit:git-checkout[1] ambiguously resolves to a
  64                 remote tracking branch on more than one remote in
  65                 situations where an unambiguous argument would have
  66                 otherwise caused a remote-tracking branch to be
  67                 checked out. See the `checkout.defaultRemote`
  68                 configuration variable for how to set a given remote
  69                 to used by default in some situations where this
  70                 advice would be printed.

  73                 linkgit:git-am[1] fails to apply it.
  74         rmHints::
  75                 In case of failure in the output of linkgit:git-rm[1],

  78                 Advice on what to do when you've accidentally added one
  79                 git repo inside of another.
  80         ignoredHook::
  81                 Advice shown if a hook is ignored because the hook is not
  82                 set as executable.
  83         waitingForEditor::
  84                 Print a message to the terminal whenever Git is waiting for
